Definitely more aggressive than the Vector and with noticeably more blade feel.  Of the SE razors I've used I'd rank them in the following order from least aggressive to most:

IB Blackhawk
Vector
ATT SE1
Hiram
Ikon El Jefe
Enoch
Mongoose
King Cobra
Cobra Classic
Asylum RX

I liked the Vector, but found it too mild.  The vector might be a little smoother than the Enoch, but the Enoch delivers a much better shave.  Although the Enoch is considerably more aggressive than the Vector I didn't find myself worried about cutting myself.  However, the last 3 on my list are able to do some damage if not carefully used.  Again, all my opinion as everyones face is different.
Thanks! I love my vector but it sounds like I'll really enjoy the enoch as well Smile

Forgot to post shave #3 (last night's) with a very used Feather Professional blade. Great stuff! More efficient but still smooth.

Interesting comparison shave between these 2. Both had a Feather Super loaded and both provided outstanding shaves. Swapped out the handle on the Enoch for a Rocnel and liked that handle better than the stock one. The Hiram seems so mild that I hardly felt the blade at all but when I was finished with both sides WTG, ATG & XTG, both sides of my face felt very similar. I am keeping both for now but if I had to give one up, it would be the Hiram because the head is a lot bigger and feels more awkward to handle. I do love that cobra handle though. I do want to try the 3 dot guard to see if that will amp it up a bit. The Enoch is more aggressive but still super smooth. Feather Supers are my go to Blade in all of my SE razors except my Asylum Rx and my Vector. I find the Schick Proline is the better Blade in those.[Image: e1365d61c54800dfa1d30e3028700e51.jpg]

I had my first shave today with my new Enoch. Very smooth with a Feather Pro. 3 pass with a bit of buffing for an irritation free BBS. No alum sting, no splash bite so in a word superb!

Very cool looking Luke. I would suggest a black version of each. I would buy a black Hiram to add to my regular Hiram in a minute

It might just be the pictures, but the bright shade of gold on the Hiram in the pictures with the white background is a little too much. It makes the gold look cheap IMO.

I agree that black might be better, or at least is seems to be a more common option as compared with gold. Maybe do a poll to get input?

Happy2 Happy2   They look good to me, but I would agree that white is not the best background to show the gold.  IMO black would be better when you get beyond an informal request for feedback.

Wowzers. That two-tone Enoch is incredible.
