H&S Z074 vs N075 vs P076

Hoping to get some of the people that have tried all of Haircut & Shave Co's razors to say what their preferences are, and comparisons with other models out there. It's a bit hard to find reviews all the time just using H&S, and even then with individuals, and hoping it could be helpful having a catch all thread to hopefully help others. Just curious about these and pondering if I want to get one.

The Z074 is one of the smoothest shavers yet still efficient in the market today. Excellent for the every day shaver. N075 is the next step up in efficiency yet still smooth. Can be used every day or multiple days of growth. The P076 is the next step up in efficiency but still has a smoothness that Haircut and Shave is known for. Aji the owner of Haircut and Shave is working on a more aggressive razor for those who want that most efficient and more aggressive razor. This way he will have a razor that fits every type of shaver also in different metals.

Well, I'll see how I like the P076. It's the one that I like the cap the best on. Might be a bit too efficient for me, but won't know until I try it.

P076 is more blade forward, though the more streamlined head makes it more nimble. N075 is blade neutral and with a bulkier head, though with the longer handle that keeps it balanced while looking very proportional. Completely different in feel.

Yes, the P076 has some blade feel but for me it is the perfect amount so that I get a clear sense of the blade and where it is, but without causing any roughness or irritation. In this respect the razor is exactly what I like. It gives great aural feedback too. It is smooth. It is also very nimble with the low profile head. Mine is titanium so it’s light too. It all combines to feel like a high-precision instrument.

In terms of efficiency the P076 is a step below the level of my Blackland Tradere OC, Blackbird, Timeless Slim 0.5 and Timeless Bronze 0.78 OC. I’d say it is in the same ballpark as my Blackland Vector - medium-high efficiency and will give a pretty close shave without too much touching-up. But I am looking forward to the new higher efficiency model which, if it preserves the same characteristics as the P076 and also matches the efficiency of the other razors I mentioned, could be the perfect razor for me as a two-day shaver with stiff hair and soft skin.

I have never used the N075 or Z074 and I think they would be too mild for my preference.

Had a chance to use the P076 last night, and while I still need more time with it, I don't think I'll regret this. My first reaction is that it seems to be like my AS-D2 with more efficiency. To keep it in line with that it could do without the blade feel, but I can't say what it does have is a negative either. I used too many other razors with that shave to say anything definitive. The little case it comes in sure is nice to have as well!

If you aren’t used to a razor like the P076, there will be a learning curve with lots of potential. I feel like once that learning curve is bridged, it will be a fantastic razor.

I favor the N075 as an easier shave, but that is partially because I am lazy. Also, the neutral blade exposure of the N075 means the shave can only be so close, which actually times well with the relatively slow growth rate of my facial hair, enabling the N075 to be an effective daily shaver. Personally, I couldn’t use the P076 on an everyday basis.

I started with the N075 Black SS and found it to be a very good razor. A bit bulky and heavy, but a smooth shave. I changed the base plate to the Aluminum version and found that it improved the balance and increased the smoothness. A noticeable improvement. I also have the P076 Titanium with the new handle and it is simply amazing. It is my favorite razor. Close, effortless shave, and very maneuverable. My favorite prior to the P076 was the WR1 .74SB SS with a custom WRH 1 80mm handle from Wolfman. I had an epiphany with the Titanium P076; the more aggressive and nimble the razor, the lighter I want it to be. Now I need to obtain a WR1 .86 SB Titanium to test my hypothesis. That'll be easy...........
