As i took delivery of the X1 SE slant yesterday, it was up today for its maiden run.
OK then, on opening the box i thought what the hell is that, its one ugly looking razor, its real heavy with the weight to the head, think Hawk V3 without the looks. Anyway, looking at the head i noticed the blade locators on the cap are quite shallow and the recesses for them on the plate are open ended, yip, there is some play there with out the blade. When i fitted the blade i was mindful to keep the head and plate together while i tightened it up. It all looks good. I still think the tolerances on this should be tighter.
It is different which is a good thing, i do like quirky.
The whole head has been machined to slant the blade without any torsion, the blade gap is perfect along the SB and the head sits on the handle like any other head - A "T" Shaped razor with the blade held at an Angle.
I know the Feather PB can be a little harsh and it has been said the X1 can be aggressive, i did not get any of that. A good amount of blade feel but not overly so, it is easy to use, the weight and cumbersome look disappears right from the off, i found "my" angle right away, 2 passes WTG and ATG with a little touch up on the whirlpool's.
So, does it shave, Hell yeah! Now that is a nice close shave.
I did get a little indication from the splash, however, i normally do on a fresh Pro-Blade.
This razor will get its chance like any other and i am looking forward to get to know this ugly brute better.
