Have you tried a Vector Chris?
The ikon SE (el jefe) is a brilliant shaver - one or two passes needed at most! But definitely not for people that are afraid of blood haha !I can't really say which is the best or worst as they all deliver superb shaves with minimum effort and ease.
The original Generals are probably ahead of the pack with their consistency and their 'just get on with the job' stance, and you can add the V2 in there. Against what appears to be a common view, I hate to say it, but the Mongoose is not that far behind in terms of easytolivewithability while giving superb finishes.
There are a few star performers which are easily overlooked or came with a surprisingly brilliant performance, the Occams Enoch and the Yaqi Excalibur being two fine examples. Both have high performance, low cost value.
Ones I struggled with include the Occams Commander (impractical blade loading, huge head) and the ATT SE1's, yet the ATT X slant is an astounding piece of kit up there with the best.
I also struggle with most aluminium SE's, the General included (hold on to it though as I have a full house), sold the Hawk for buttons and gave the alugoose to a good friend.
I would say across the board I favour most of them over a DE and rarely touch a double razor these days.
If it was to come down to just the one? The original General. Stainless or brass? I couldn't care as there is little difference between them except one is shiny.
Just as an edit. The one I couldn't get rid of fast enough was the Ikon SE and now with Mr Scorpio. It was not a razor and just a blood extracting implement.
The Brass General eludes me. The final razor for my collection. I've managed to source everything else except that brass lady. One day!I love my AC SE razors. Current stock:
Hiram Commander
Enoch
Hawk V3 (Std & A)
General V1 (Stainless and Aluminum)
General V2
ATT X1
Occam's OREN Nano
Yaqi V3
Alpha Claymore
I never got on with the Vector so sent it to a good home. ATT SE1 models were sold as well. I liked these but they didn't make the cut.
Only laughing because I have one
