ES Claymore SE Razor

SE the way to go

Absolutely! I tried the handle from my Rockwell 6c with the Hawk head a few nights ago and was totally blown away. It was verging on the best shave I've had....ever!

I know there's heavier handles but the 6c handle is noticeably heavier than the aluminium Hawk handle, so much so that it transformed the razor.

One of the most relaxed and straightforward shaves. Incident free and the results were like glass all over. Even my neck and jawline were smooth as silk.

I'm really looking forward to trying the Claymore. I read that it can be quite aggressive but I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Thanks everyone for the advice and @globalm for selling it!

So is fairy dust

I have to admit I am rather shocked at how a different handle can make such a difference to a razor, but they most certainly can. May you continue to enjoy your SE journey

Can't wait for my Mongoose to arrive with thanks to @N_Architect

Really enjoying it. The Claymore is a beast, in a good way!

It came with Feather blades so I'm currently using one of those with it. At times it's so smooth it feels like there's no blade, or I've got the angle wrong, but the stubble just disappears.

I will change over to a Schick blade soon to see how that feels.

But over the moon with it. I'm glad I've given SEs a go. I keep using my DE every so often but I'm enjoying SE more at the moment. [emoji1303]

And excellent to hear. May you continue to enjoy
 
I know that I do not need one, but I hope to get an ES Claymore V3 which is currently being trialled and hopefully will be on sale in MAY 2021. I have the V1 which is a real heavyweight but I enjoy getting good Shaves with it.
 
That's strange. I have something that was supposedly the Claymore V3. I've had it a year or two, bought secondhand. I think there were only a few made.

It's very very aggressive. Too much for me.

If they release something else called the V3, I wonder what that makes mine...

I think that he had difficulty finding someone who could consistently manufacture a quality razor at the right price. It's probably just been put on hold for a while
 
I absolutely will not be buying this new SE. Or, more realistically, I might hold off pulling the trigger for two minutes.
I hope it is quite aggressive. I think the Colonial General and Blackhawk Vector are great razors, but sometimes fancy using something with a bit more bite than they provide.

After the Ikon SE I don't see how anything could be more aggressive without being called a Stanley knife. This should be a stinch and definitely on my 'Want ' list

The strength of the Colonials ( and probably the Vector as well) is that they just got them correct and never in need to go 'angry'
