What Chris said.
You could do worse than trying a Hawk V3 & Proline P blades.
Very comfortable shaves with zero irritation.

What Chris said.Love SE's
I do use the GEM based razors but not too often as my preference leans towards the AC razors and they are pretty hard to beat.
Better blade life. Probably get as many as 20 shaves from a blade but nominally around 12
Quicker shaves by far due the size of the blade
Less blade chatter and more rigid which gives for a nice smooth effective shave with less irritation.
Less blade choice which is a massive plus, and in general they are all pretty damn good.
The razors themselves tend to be better quality.
Just a few plus points from my perspective
Not to say I am anti-DE as my favourite happens to be a DE in the Ikon B1
I only have the one 'half DE blade' razor and that is the Rocnel SE-P. It is incredibly aggressive and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't had experience on this side of shaving and razors. But shit, I can't think of any razor which shaves so damn close without removing skin
Other than trying a GEM (Ever easy 1912's etc) as a nice cheap way in to SE, a Razorock Hawk V3 or an Executive shaving Claymore Evolution are super ways in.
I highly recommend trying an SE
I really should try an SE razor and the hawk V2 looks like a good starter before something more expensive.What Chris said.

I saw you also recommended the Claymore Evolution, looks very nice and it would probably be best to skip the cheaper SE which I would end up selling anyway and go straight for a higher quality one.The only thing I would say for the V2 is to change the handle for something with a bit more heft about it.
I started on the V2 then got rid at the first opportunity and got an SE which was more substantial. But it did get my SE soul stirred. Not shaken
Just to let you chaps know and a bit of a heads up, but I will be putting my Claymore Evolution on to the BST this weekend.
Which AC razors are you sticking with Chris?
That's a strong line up.Stainless General
Stainless Mongoose
Enoch
Hawk V3
Yaqi Excalibur
Plus my Ever Ready razors
Decided these are all I will ever need. Plus I need to add to the one pound saving tin for a black Nodachi. I really need one at each place.
The other Raster or whatever it is thing can go as a freebie cos it's garbage.
That's a strong line up.
That garbage Raster - did I sell you that?
I think you might be right Marc.Wasn't that from my PIF @Boycie83 ? I didn't actually mind it, but it only encouraged me to get the vector rather than hang on to it.
Is that 2 that have ended up from me that have done you in? I swear I'm not trying to off you @Satanfriendly !
I'll just lay low on flogging hardware on BST until this all blows overmeans he's more likely to buy from my next batch of tat
