Occam Enoch passaround
- Thread starter The Monkey
- Start date
Sweet! I’m really curious about the aluminum general. I love the aluminum Hawk.
Since there are 3 razors in the passaround everyone can keep it up to 2 weeks instead of 1.
Signing up
At 2 weeks each, it would take 3 months to go through the list. Plenty of time to build a post count.
Well I Guess I better step it up another Notch. Lol [emoji23]

2020 Shave # 15 ( 435 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Enoch
Blade: Schick Proline (1)
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: CBL Tonsorial Fresh Lime 3017 (15)
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Avon Island Lime
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Bayolea
Shave 15 on the 3017 is in the books...........................well the internet anyway. Stirling Boar on 1st shave without a shed hair. Will it never shed another hair? Nah, it probably will but we are getting there. Softening up but not to where I WANT to reach for it yet but we're getting there too.
Today the spotlight was on the Enoch razor from John @The Monkey I was going to borrow the razor until John gave his thoughts on it and I recoiled as we had similar thoughts on similar razors before. When he started the pass around I thought, just give it a try. Today I tried. Fit and finish is acceptable for the price point. It's an attractive razor and feels good in the hand. Loading the blade was easy. Whoa that is a healthy looking blade gap and exposure............no worries, let's give it a try. 1st several strokes and I'm thinking this feels good and not near as aggressive as it looked and it's not. I did have a couple strokes where I could tell I lost the feel of the blade and therefore lost the cutting too. Careful not to over compensate as you'll REALLY feel the blade. I felt like it was easy to find the right angle and get a nice shave but it was just as easy to lose the angle and not cut or worse yet BITE easily..........and it did in a couple spots on my chin. Nothing serious but after a single shave I know I could have just passed after hearing John's thoughts on the razor...................................who am I kidding, I had to try it. But I enjoy the more mindless easy shaves with the Vector which is just as EFFICIENT (there I said it
) or more so. John, I thank you for your generously sharing a new to the market razor to try. Sticking with the Vector. 2 more in here but only one I'll take for a spin but may wait a day or 2 and use the 6s till skin is ready for another tester. Have a fun filled day Cadre !!!
