I continue my search for a great “for me” SE style AC razor. I love the blade in a Feather or Kai shavette style straight, but I have never been able to duplicate the smoothness with a SE razor and the same blades.
Edit: I should say that I do get a decent shave out of the original Cobra Classic. But I don’t care for the hinge design which detracts from the overall appearance, nor do I care for Classic Shaving's “we just put 4 up for sale” approach.
I've even tried every AC blade available in a CJB Kamisori and still no dice. They all felt very dull and tuggy to me which I don't get because all you usually read about is how sharp these blades are. Oh well, I've decided I'm not going to waste anymore time on them.
I had a similar experience. Final combination that made me love the AC SE razors and blades was the ATT SE1 (Kronos handle because that Bamboo handle was awkward for me) with a Schick P-30 blade...something about those P-30 blades that marries smooth and sharp just so right...
