Got mine today as well! Nice touch with all of the extras! I am going to put it to use tomorrow morning with a Schick Proline.

With a blade inserted the vice is secure, but without a blade the vice is loose and can be rocked back and forth. I am nonetheless going to give it a try in the morning with a fresh Feather Pro. Then I'm going to get in touch with Classic Shaving, and see what we can work out. I don't have a good camera or camera skills, just a 3 year old iPhone.If you check out the most recent Enoch video (I think it's the newest one?), Luke said something about the razor being designed to have slight play when tightened up without a blade but would "cinch up" tightly when a blade was loaded. The safety bar shouldn't be bent though. I haven't received mine yet (still anxiously awaiting) but others should be able to chime in regarding the "looseness" without a blade and confirm. Anyone?

First things first is this is not an original Occam’s or O.R.E.N razor in feel and performance. The floating blade design is now replaced by the traditional rigid and vice like hold and full support of the top and bottom plates. Does it just as good as an Rx, Vector, ATT SE1 and any other AC designed razor. The razor feels balanced along the whole length of it with a high quality look to it.
The shave itself with the Enoch was efficient in that 2 passes and some minor buffing along the chin and jawline produced A BBS result. The shave was comfortable and smooth yet, there is enough blade feel that in no way is this considered a mild razor. Actually, it’s very similar in shave feel to the Blackland Vector and shares the small head profile along with being very close in design (nearly identical) to the Asylum Rx, though nowhere near as blade forward feeling. It has design attributes of both yet still exhibits it’s own feel and performance. It has a nice balance of smoothness & efficiency and shaves equally as good as any other AC styled razor.
I’ll shave with it for a full week and see how it delivers and performs with other brands of blades. I have no doubt that it will be a consistently good performer.....

Took the Enoch out for its maiden voyage this morning. I do not have a Vector or Asylum so I’ll compare it to my Cobra Classic. As Gus mentioned there is enough blade feel that most would not consider this a mild razor. I liken it to a Cobra Classic + in terms of blade feel and aggressiveness. However with a Feather Pro I found the shave to be very smooth and efficient. The angle was very easy to find and maintain. I am really impressed with the Enoch.
