Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements PS - Tube 2.0
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements SS - Supreme Sandalwood Science
2019 30DC LE w/Omega 10089 knot
Occam's Enoch
Feather AC Super Pro
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB - Star Jelly
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements AS/C - Supreme Sandalwood Science

First shave with the Occam's Enoch. Already 97% 'love @1st shave' with this razor....2% deducted for not being offered in a polished version, 1% for nearly impossible to use w/wet fingers (yeah, I know polished SS would make it worse, but it'd look so freaking ). At 2 passes, I was all over DFS+. Did a third touch up pass (baby caught) as I totally overloaded the @jtspartan 2019 30DC handle w/Omega boar knot thinking I'd be doing more passes getting familiar with a new acquisition. Nope. Super efficient growth reduction even on the first pass! Tons of blade feel, the most of any safety style razor I own. Zero blade flex, mostly from the Artist Club style blade, maybe a little from the Enoch's clamping design. Shave angle was more shallow to me (handle closer to face/neck), but easily found. Head design works very well shaving under the nose. Very comfortable shaving WTG/XTG, and even ATG (the light 3rd pass buffing). PAA products performed flawlessly, CK-6 formula slick as snot, the Star Jelly and AS/C providing great face feel hours after the shave as usual. This scent is a true Sandalwood fragrance with little to no powdery aroma added as so common in many English and Italian brands.

Very pleased with the Enoch for the $99 price point (looks like it's $115 for 2020). Fit & finish is nice for a Metal Injection Molding process (M.I.M.) razor. Thanks @clint64 and @jluc for the enabling. Given how much I like this razor already, I foresee a larger DE, and a possible SE, razor reduction in 2020 than I posted earlier. And....I may even give a go at polishing this bad boy meself. The final machining done by Classic Shaving almost has it almost there for the example I received.

Hope everyone has a Fantastic New Years Day!

 

I hate to say it, but I actually enjoyed using the stuff! The secret is to turn on the ventilation in the bathroom! Happy New Year, Joe!

 

Thanks, Danny! Hope you enjoyed your New Year celebration. Happy New Year!
