Kickstarter backers are patient people I once waited two years for a razor to arrive and when it did it needed to be replaced. That being said anyone who knows my RUclips channel knows how much I love the Occam’s Razor Nano and when they announced the new Enoch Single Edge Razor I just jumped to attention and put my order in and have been waiting ever since. Well, finally, it has arrived.
In the box came loads of extra goodies an alum block, Shaving soap (unscented) pre-shave oil and a bottle fragrance oil for the soap. Not sure why the just did give you the scented soap because they only supplied one scent for it. After thinking about this I guess they just wanted to promote sales of the available scents they offer.
The razor came in its protective box which made it a little difficult to removed but it finally let go. I forgot to order blades with the razor but knew that I had some from my other Occam’s Razor called the Nano. I use the Feather Pro Guard blades in that one and have been overjoyed with their performance so using them in the new Enoch was a no brainer.
The weight of the razor is about 2.8oz not bad for something made out of 100% 316 Stainless Steel. They said this razor was meant to last a lifetime and possibly could be passed down to other generations.
Loading the razor was a little puzzling at first but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. This is a 3 piece razor. The handle, head, and base. You loosen the handle but do not remove it all the way. What you want to do is lower the base down so you can place the blade in. The base has the notches that hold the blade in place and once the blade is set you lower the head back down over it and tighten the handle until it locked in. It seems simple when I saw it done on the demo video and I will do it that way for my next shave. I loaded this a different way the first time and it was still ok but the way they show you on the video is the best way to do it.
After the blade was loaded I hydrated my face lathered up and started to shave and found after about 5min identified this razor as aggressive. It acted nothing like the Nano I struggled to continue to use it but finished the shave anyway and when I was done I had numerous cuts and nicks around my face and chin. I immediately reached for the supplied alum block that came with the package (Maybe they knew something I didn’t) after the bleeding stop I noticed the razor burn and reached for the aftershave and then I applied off-camera an aftershave balm I created and that saved my face.
What a disappointment I wanted this to be another go-to razor like the Nano but sadly it has missed the mark. I’m going to give this another try in the future. Maybe it could be used by someone with a thicker beard that needs such an aggressive razor. As for me, I’ll have to sit this one out until I find a solution if not it goes on the Flea Market pile for next holiday season.

Sorry to see that BEAUTIFUL razor did not do as well as it looks for you, Donald.
I know you win some and lose some I guess Lee. thanks for watching have a great weekend my friend.
Don has an aggressive technique with all that buffing. It's always better to take it easy with a new razor until you get accustomed to it.
HOLY MOLEY!!! He Bleeds....😲 That must be one aggressive razor. Hope you and the Mrs. are feeling better. Have a great week and thanks for another informational video. Cheers🍻
Thanks Randy for the kind words and yes it got me good - lol I;m not really giving up I will revisit this again Thanks for watching.
I’ve been using the Enoch for a few weeks now and been getting great shaves. Maybe your applying too much pressure. Also maybe too many strokes in bare skin. Anyway I hope you give the Enoch another chance, it’s a great razor. I like it as much or even a little more than my Occam’s OREN.
Edward, I plan on doing just that I will give it another go I'm hoping by doing more research as to why this happened will allow me to do a followup review with better results to offer. thanks for watching
Hi Donald- Well, good shave as you said. Thank you for the review. Maybe a re-visit at a later date? It’s always interesting that different razors from the same makers can be so dramatically different. Well I hope you have a great rest of the weekend and all the best. Next Saturday, as always, Don!
Thanks for the kind words and see you next Saturday for sure
I like the aggressive aggressive shavers, but they may not be ideal for your one-pass technique.
Wow it was really close just way to close for me Thanks for watching Roberto and be safe
It looked like you were having to rinse it more often as well. That's a bummer, but that's why there are so many products to try as one might work better for someone else. Hope you heal quickly.
Johnny, I couldn't have said it better myself. I'll take another look-see on this down the road as well. Thanks for watching my friend.
I didn't get the Enoch myself bc I thought that, like the original Cobra, it wouldn't accept any of the Feather blades except the pro blades and I remember cutting myself occasionally with that other Cobra. I needed to be very careful to get a clean, nick-free shave.
I really hope you heal quickly from that shave.
As for the foam cut-outs on the box though. I know that they're for when you order a blade cartridge with the razor. I did order the Hiram Commander that way and it just arrived. I couldn't resist since it used the head system as the nano I love so much.
I intend to try it out myself tomorrow but I've already noticed that the actual guard on the Hiram had been reprofiled from the nano. I'm looking forward to seeing whether that, along with the additional weight, will make this razor more aggressive or not and how it will compare to the original Cobra as well.
Wishing you a cleaner, nick-free shave in the future.
As always, I'm thankful for your honest reviews.
Craig, it's my pleasure and since that shave everything is ok with the nicks and cut so all good thanks for your support in that and see you next week.
Great review as always!👍🏻
Thank for the kind words and for taking the time to watch
I received the Enoch and Hiram at the same time. I agree with you that it is very aggressive. The Hiram shaves similar to the Occam’s razor. Thanks for your reviews, I appreciate the time you put into your channel.
Nice products. Shame it didn't perform as well as your other Occam Razor.
Were there supposed to be different base plates in the empty slots in the box? Just curious if perhaps you didn't get the full kit.
no additional base plates were supplied but as I pointed out it sure looked like they could have done so but no you received yours just the way I did
@@MrDonXX Thanks for the info. update
Its funny how one razor differs from the other,I had a Parker,not sure the model,but it always gave me nicks so I got rid of it, but I frequently use the Merkur Future on all settings,It so far, gives me smoothes shaves although its considered to be one of the most aggresive razors.I never used a Feather blade with it yet so that might change the game.😮Thanks for your honest perspective.👍
Your welcome Troy it something that I'm going to try again with and see what others are using with it maybe a call to Occam as well. have a great weekend
How does it compare with the razorock wunderbar?
not sure, haven't used the Razorock Wunderbur and at $130 I don't think It will happen anytime soon
Sorry it didn’t go smoothly Don, have a great weekend.
U2 Abe see you next week
Great video as always people on here need to stop telling how to shave your a grown ass man you know what your doing lol I wish had gotten some of classic shavings soap pucks and reviewed them there no reviews on them as far as I know of
Yes, people love to tell me how to shave - lol What are the pucks you would like to see reviewed
@@MrDonXX classic brand shaving soap pucks I've never seen them reviewed there pretty cheap and been around for long time
Why do you insist on shaving at warp speed and going over the same spots without a little more lather. You appear to be a very aggressive shaver.
Jerry, take a look at my other videos and that is easy to see. Yes, I'm aggressive I've been shaving this way for over 40 years. I don't insist on it it just the way I do it. Keep in mind that my videos are not tutorials they are reviews.
Donald Youngner I know that we all have our own way of shaving , as an example, I tend to be obsessed with getting every whisker and you know what that does for the skin so keep up the great videos and be careful around your throat 👍🪒
Hi Don. One thing for me right off the bat was I sure like the looks of the Enoch much more than the Nano. To me the Nano always looked like something you`d find in a tool box or something. I`ve always leaned towards more aggressive razors so the Enoch wins out for me. Yes you did get a few nicks there but there might be a little bit of learning curve there with the Enoch for all of us. Anyway I enjoyed it, thank you.👍
You just might be right about that Brian I will use this again thanks for watching
I find that using a Kai Pink blade in an aggressive Artisan blade razor helps alot.
Well, I give that a try thanks for the info see you next week.
Always fancied trying a Occam's razor, looked at trying to purchase one thro classic shaving, but as a UK customer will be hit hard with shipping and possibly tax and vat this end, hopefully they might allow sales in the UK in the future.
Cheers🥃
I sure hope they allow sales in the UK William thanks for watching
Its a shame tht Brian / Executive Shaving Co. up in Glasgow don't sell it, maybe are unaware of Occam's, dunno. I bought one (live in Nottinghamshire) and it wasn't too expensive from memory, cant remember if Royal Mail etc charged me duty or not..? I've bought some of Don's soaps before with no problems from the US
Do you still have the Enoch? I’ve got one on the way. I love my Nano and Hiram.
*_Yes I still have it but its way too aggressive for me t use_*
@@MrDonXX I’ve got an OREN an Occam’s and an Enoch en route, we shall see! I do tend to enjoy aggressive razors. I always use the 3 plate on my Golden Cobra
As I understand it, those two blank precut slots in the foam are spaces where you can put packs of blades.
Can you reduce the aggressiveness of this razor by using a different model of blade? I think Feather makes a couple of variations, and then there are Kai blades. Occam makes some beautiful hardware. But, the reason I stick with DE razors is because of the vast array of blades available...
Yes! you can always change the type of blade and the one I'm using is considered the mild one of the bunch but I'm not giving up on my search so I can use this Razor. Thanks for watching and for the great comments.
First Name Last Name the feather proguard blades are the least way aggressive blades in the artist line of blades they have special guards on them to ensure you don’t put the blade directly to your face that’s why they almost look seraded
I missed out on this due to the order delays. Sucks 😭. Quite some nasty nicks , hope those healed up well.
Thank you for the kind words and it a good thing you missed it - lol Thanks for watching
Any promo codes for wtf site? Also I bought 4 samples they came in the mail today. I used perfect cup for my shave and all I can say it wow they are lather beasts. 👍🔥👍
thank you, sir, no we have no promo codes sorry but we will be introducing 3 new shaving soap pretty soon so keep watching
Your experience pretty much matches mine.. I suspect you may like the Hiram commander :)
I would love to try one
I know you're a huge fan of the original Occam's. Does the handle of the razor ever get uncomfortable? Not a fan of the gap in it. That's the only reason why i havent gotten one yet. Love ya Don!
Charles on the Nano you do have to get used to the handle it may not be for everyone
I vote for a den tour in a future video Donald
I'll do my best, not that much left since I have thinned things out but we could combine it with the soaping den as well
Another real badass bloodbath potato peeler
Lol you got that right!
At 3:05 there looks to be a good amount of "stick out" on the blade..... I have an Above The Tie H2 razor i think, it was £200 and open combed stainless steel. That is a razor that chops up the face lol.
I regularly use my Occams razor BUT will be wary of this Enoch model now. Heal well Don
thanks I'll give it one more try but if that fails then on to the Flea Market it goes
I enjoy the DE stainless razor (with all three heads) from Occam's if you haven't tried it. Excellent razor and price..
Which is the main difference with the Occam's razor you already have Don?
Any luck reviewing the Wholly Kaw Siero Base?
I'm looking into doing that Wholly Kaw Siero Base review in a few months I have so many already in the queue from last year I didn't get to. I think the main difference is the style, I like the way the Nano handles better and also the weight of it. The biggest difference is how it shaves the Enoch is just too aggressive for me.
I am thinking about buying this
DO IT!
It looks like an open comb design, but not sure, maybe try a different blade? Something less sharp. It did go through your beard pretty fast.
Yes, I'm going to give it another go and see what blades are available
Seeing the way to load blades in the Enoch makes me wish I'd ordered this instead of the Hiram... the Hiram doesn't come with that little blade-grabber tool that the originals came with, so more often than not when trying to seat the blade, I push it through and try to align it, and it just drops right out the front :( Maybe I'll snag one of the Enochs in a few months. Thanks for the review as always! (edit: of course, now that I watched the last couple minutes, this would shred my face and neck... so maybe I'll hold off after all!)
The trick is to put a slight bend in the blade, then push it in...try it
Don, as we all know that each 🪒 & blade are different. Then the combination is something else again.I am sure trying a different blade with this 🪒 will do the trick. Have a great day, have a great shave like GeoFatboy says. (VLS)

Interesting video and thanks for the review of Enoch SE razor and think I'll just stick with DE or Occams Nano razor. Cheerios!!
Me Too - lol
I own an Asylum RX SE, and this looks like a close lesser quality copy of my razor in shape, as well as the head assembly.
Thanks for watching Ted, although it has the flavor of the Asylum RX SE there is no way to tell the quality by just looking at it you have to use it in order to be sure I've seen expensive razors turn out to perform like crap compared to its price.
@@MrDonXX I know about expensive razors performing like crap, like my now gone ATT SE1 and Timeless scalloped comb DE. Both were guillotines on my face. The fit and finish on the Asylum RX polished is second to none with all 3 parts melding as one seamlessly it seems. And the shave is very efficient tho on the milder side. Don't know how the Enoch was able to practically copy the unique head design, but they did, plus the profile of the whole flare curve from the handle. Thanks for your good videos. But, it's all subjective in the end.
Maybe some adjustment to the technique/routine you developed in time by consistently using the other razor by Occam's, would yield better results with the Enoch. All the best!
I think I'll stick to the regular Occam's. 😎
Wonderful Idea! I'm with you
Hi my friend how are you?? Nice music and perfect your video.
So glad I went back to carts this is like chasing a wet dream its nuts.
I agree if De is not your thing carts are the way to go
This video made you look human. Like superman getting weak from kryptonite. It sucks to get so many nicks.
*_I didn't notice, I've always been human - lol_*
Donald Youngner lol
Maybe go a bit slower next time, when ever I go fast I get a ton of nicks.
I will do that on the follow up
same here i have to go slow and because my beard hair is super coarse and grows a nonuniform direction i can only use certain blades without cutting my jaw line to hell, uncoated blades are a total no go for me.
You need to change your technique rather than blame the razor. What's the rush? If you are new to shaving all you'll learn from this guy is how to carve your face up
Hi, John thanks for commenting. These videos are not tutorials I review shaving hardware and shaving soap. The razor I was demoing happens to be VERY aggressive I even had a call from the owner of the company who saw the video explaining that very fact to me. My technique is just fine for me I don't expect anyone to copy me with how I shave because we are all different and you should know your own face after shaving a few times. I have been shaving for over 40 years not sure how long you have been. Thanks for watching
On a completely unrelated topic: where you aware that those kind of packing peanuts are water soluble? Instead of filling up my trashcan, I throw those in the toilet, wait for them to dissolve a bit, then flush them down the plumbing.
What an awesome idea but I often try to reuse them in my own shaving business called Wet The Face
@@MrDonXX If you have to buy new peanuts because you're out of one's too reuse, maybe you should look into them.
Good shave, great video Don. You should try one of these in the Enoch instead of your usual Proguard blades: www.maggardrazors.com/product/feather-professional-soft-guard-artist-club-15-blades/ . I have some coming to use in my Occam's SE razor (I have the stainless steel version) which are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday due to Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. I'm giving DE razors another shot to see what happens but I won't be going that long on a Skinguard blade and I will be keeping it in the rotation.
💈👍🏻
Don great Review yes I agree ☝️ with you that Enoch is good looking single edge Razor but bit aggressive for me too I have had a few cuts and nicks as well occams OREAN shaves better then this smooth and sharp this one is way too sharp for me too I hope my next shave will be much better with this razor have a nice weekend bro
