Thanks for sharing the video Dave. I keep looking at this razor. I'm convinced I won't like it yet it keeps pulling me in like a shiny temptress. I like the Generals (V1 and V2) along with the ATT X1 and Hiram Commander/OREN 2 dot plate but never got on with the Vector. Have you used any of the razors I've mentioned that could be used as a comparison.

Basically, I need you to talk me out of buying one and the (likely) subsequent regret.
 
SOTD: 09/02/2022

Razor: Yaqi Excalibur
Blade: Proshave S, 6th use
Brush: Akkawoodnresin Handle And Dscosmetic Bodger Knot
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Proraso Wood And Spice Cream
Aftershave: Proraso Wood And Spice Cologne
Balm: Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

A great shave from start to finish. It’s a race between this and my A&E barbiere sophisticato as to which soap/cream I’ll finish first. The scent is really strong and woke me up a treat, the splash lasted all night too.
Enjoy your evening guys.

Honestly if you did not get along with the Vector I don't think you would like this. It goes from mild to wild in a split second. If you hold the angle correct you get an extremely smooth and comfortable shave but get off just the slightest bit and it's very toothy. That's just my thoughts and hope it helps! I saw one video that compared it to the Enoch which I can see the shape and such being very similar. I didn't care for the Enoch but I'm okay with this. I just have to pay more attention then with the Vector when I had it.
PS - I've used/owned all you mentioned except the ATT but wouldn't compare it to any of them, sorry. Hard to believe you didn't care for the Vector.

My Personna Platinum looks completely different, and shave pretty nice, just packaging or are they different blades?

I've had these for several years.


 
They'll give you herpes.
 
Pre: Shower
Brush: ΑΛΦΑ Outlaw SHD 2-Band
Soap: Nuàvia Blu
Razor: RazoRock Hawk V3 'A'
Blade: Feather Pro Super (2)

Shave: I think the Hawk was made for Pro Super blades – even the 'A' plate feels tamer to me than any other AC razor I've tried. They do make a good combo, though. North to South, ATG, done.
