"A small handful of razors that weren't cleaned were apparently mixed with razors that were already cleaned, and you were a recipient of one that wasn't cleaned as we are learning"
They offered me 50$ refund as a apologize for that mistake which is cool.
So everything has been cleared and Ive cleaned it by myself.

 So if I understand correctly all it was was a little Grease from the production process and now all is good?
   I think I'm going to offer to clean the grease off of all my new razors for a $50 bill, lol.

Grease and "dirt" from the machine work. Every razor then gets cleaned but a handfull of razors got mixed with already cleaned razors. Just needed some alcohol, polish paste and a microfiber cloth. Even If its not much work to do - I expect to get my razor clean in this price league. Didnt expect a 50$ refund but they took responsibility which is very cool.

Yes sir I definitely understand, glad you got it squared away and pleased.

The shaves are over.
In use were Haircut & Shave Company - 1.30 aggressive, 083 aggressive, 076 aggressive, P076.
To make it very simple I made myself a personal chart and rated there from place 1 to 4 different categories.

Blade: a fresh Gillette Nacet in every razor
Stubble: 24-36 hours 

Efficiency: 1). 1.30 2). 083 3). 076 4). p076
Sustainability: 1). 1.30 2). 083/076 3). P076 4). X
Aggressiveness: 1). 1.30 2). 083 3). 076 4). P076 
Smoothness: 1). 076 2). P076 3).  083 4).  1.30
Bladefeel: 1). 1.30 2). 083 3).  076 4).
P076
Bladeclamping: 1). 076 2). P076 3). 083 4). 1.30

Overall, I had the best shave with the 083 - everything just fits very well and it was the most fun.
The 1.30 is further away from all those - the 083 076 P076 are different but within reach.
With the 1.30 there were 3 cuts and 3 red spots - with the others nothing. The 1.30 feels like it starts to jump/stumble and then start to nick me. I have to grip it very far up on the handle to prevent this.
1.30 and 083 get at least support from the base plate - there is some bladechatter but also a super cool unique sound.
In an Instagram post it was said that the 076 and the P076 are in the same ballpark - I can confirm that - the 076 feels like a tuned P076. A little more exposure, better baldeclamp and a little more efficient and sustainable. Just brought into the modern era. P076 reloaded.
-
I kept the TI Efficient out of the chart. It is still - for me - the best razor that H&S has created. Sufficiently efficient for daily shaving, not too gentle or too aggressive, just fits. Similarly efficient and sustainable as the P076 but more gentle. The design makes the blade feel like it is built in and makes every shave a bullseye.
-
I hope that this will give you a good Insight and that my words are understandable.

Korii  that's a very good write-up and comparisons too. 
   I'm a fan of H&S razors also. Hopefully razors will do nothing but improve in blade clamping, efficiency and smoothness.

My ranking having tried most razors of H&S. My ranking based on overall shaving experience, taking into consideration efficiency, smoothness & fun to use.
1. Efficient Ti
2. P076 Ti
3. p076 17-4
4. 1.30 aggr
5. 083 aggr

Efficient Ti is absolute pleasure to use for daily shaving. I would say a close 2nd is original p076Ti, one of the best razors ever made. 

083 aggr was terrible for me. It tended to skip(not enough blade support) many nicks and irritation. 

1.30 aggr was an excellent razor. May purchase it down the road. I liked it alot, as it was better mannered for me, and drew less blood, but still drew blood if you didn’t pay attention. Not a mindless shave. 

the new 076 aggr - haven’t tried one yet, but it’s on my list. Looks like it has excellent blade clamping, but not as well finished. Overpriced as well imo.

I have used and own most of these razors here and agree with everything said here.

Nice to read that you also would put the TI Efficient on first place from the overall line up.
Interesting that you had similar problems what I had with the 1.30 - I think the TI head is so light with very small support that you need a heavier handle to keep the head down without any pressure.

Thanks for confirming this Korii , the Ti efficient is a remarkable razor and very possibly my favorite.
