Good shave from cheap razor??
Hi, This morning I shaved with this razor, an Enzo England Gold plated 7/8. I bought this razor many months ago when I was starting to get interested to straight shaving and was just a newbie. I was told that this is an inferior razor, that it would not shave.
I must admit that it turned me off form it so I started bying more known brands (Wade&Butcher, Boker, Dbl Duck, Worldmaster, William Rodgers, Dovo, Wapis...etc.). I have been shaving and sharpening my razors since then and I'm getting terrefic results.
Lately my attention was turned back to the Enzo razor and I decided to give it a try. After many trip to the honing stones and the strops (one coated with chromium oxide) I finely got it to pass the hht, tpt, tnt with flying colors. When I glide it over my arm all the hair that it encounters just pop right up.
SO I took it for a shave. After a good preperation, I got a very confortable shave, no pulling, no irritation, no jumping around even againts the grain. Just a super shave and seems to hold an edge quite well.
It's not one of the boys (name) in the arena but it can do a great shave when well prepared. :tu
This is the razor.
