Dear friends,
I received an e-mail from the executive shaving co. that 50 Claymore SE V2 razors are available for sale. As I was on the waiting list I got notification and bought one. As we speak, 40 have been sold.
Yes I agree the new design is not as nice as the previous one, but the V1 had problems with the casting. This new one though has all the problems ironed out (hopefully).I too received the email, so went to look and order, and the new design just isn't as nice as the old one, which is a shame, because the price is very good.
From what their website says about 50% of the origanal razor castings had to be sent back however all the razors sold were perfect, so anyone with one of the V1s need not be concerned about quality issues.Yes I agree the new design is not as nice as the previous one, but the V1 had problems with the casting.

Well, some passed the screening, like the one Steve Hardy reviewed. That one had a top plate that was not straight. He made a video on it.From what their website says about 50% of the original razor castings had to be sent back however all the razors sold were perfect, so anyone with one of the V1s need not be concerned about quality issues.
I'm sure it will shave you just fine if Brian has had anything to do with it. It would not be in his best interest to have a razor produced that was not fit for the job in hand. I will look forward to hearing what you think about your new razor.In all fairness to Brian, there are a lot of favourable reports out there on the V1. I'm sure the V2 will be well received. I only hope it shaves me well, YMMV.
Interesting. My V1 works just fine as a razor, but, after reading this, I looked at it carefully. It's all in order, except that the chamfer on the baseplate leading edge isn't exactly the same along its length. However, the blade is flat and even, and, as I say, it shaves properly.I expect the odd one slipped through the net but I'm sure Brian at exec shaving would not have been happy about it, he is a man who likes things done right not like some manufaturers who sell off rejects at a cheap price.....we all know who they are......mine was perfect anyway.
As long as it shaves well....and the defect can not have been too obvious for you not to have noticed it before now, I hope this does not make you look at your razor in a different light, so to speak!Interesting.

It won't. It's possible to get too hung-up on these things and, whilst I like things to be in "apple pie order", I shan't be grieving over this slight imperfection.As long as it shaves well....and the defect can not have been too obvious for you not to have noticed it before now, I hope this does not make you look at your razor in a different light, so to speak!
If he thought that was heavy he wouldn't like the brass hone!This is the video Steve has made about the V1
