Just had my first shave with the Claymore, now I have been shaving with my Edwin Jagger for over 6 years, partnered with personna blades it has always given me a good shave, but I decided it was time for a change so I opted for the Claymore.
Out of the box I thought blimey it's got a bit of heft to it! it's got an industrial feel.
I used the pro blades as prescribed and everything else was what I normally use.
I automatically put it to the face at the same angle as my EJ, but that didn't work, but a slight adjustment got it gliding smoothly and it was so easy going down from the sideburns, because of the wide head it covered so much of my face with ease, it actually gave me a false sense of security, and when I got to the neck...nick..ouch, this needs a bit more respect on the sensitive areas, I'll have to do a few more shaves before I'm proficient around the neck area.
One area I was really impressed with was under the nose, I often have problems trying to get this area smooth, but the Claymore was good with short strokes leaving this area smooth.
I am sure once I have had 5-10 shaves my self and my face will get used to the Claymore and I will certainly enjoy trying to master it!
