Morning Both,
I've only used the Evolution three times so far, so these are only initial impressions. As reference I use the Alpha Outlaw with the standard plate (not the mild plate).
The fit and finish is excellent, and the weight* and balance is spot on. As soon as you hold the Evo in your hands, it feels like a premium product.
The shave is comfortable (and efficient), with less blade feel with a narrower cutting angle (compared to the Outlaw), although finding the cutting angle is easy. I found very similar results using a different blade each time (Nacet, Silver Blue and Polsilver).
Is it a keeper? For me, no. *I prefer the weight of the original...and the main reason I could do with the cash for something else. It will be coming to a BST soon.
*I'm a fickle funny bugger.
Cheers
Rob

So, in summary, are you saying they've tamed it and it's the worse for it?
Just had the email through about ES's version, but if I'm reading this correctly I think I'll pass...
