I own the hawk V3 and having the one razor a month rotation schedule. Mine dosent get used which is a shame I say. I have looked at this razor over and over again. With the steel hone weeks away I will not be purchasing the asylum but I would love to have a shave or two with one. Not much recent experience with shavers I believe so I think a few gentleman will be buying them blind. From what I've read above, it may prove Providence to bit the bullet. Sincerest respects as always gentleman. J. 
Nope, not even those. I have bought and sold both.
The Vector is an amazing razor but I found it too mild. Shame really, I really wanted to like it.

Have any of you used the Alpha / Executive Shaving Claymore v2? That‘s another recent SE that interests me, and I wonder where it fits into the picture and how it compares.
I haven’t warmed to the looks of the Asylum Rx so far, but I do get that something a touch more efficient than the Vector should have a market. For me right now the Vector is such a high watermark in SE razors and to buy anything else it has to be excellent and there must also be some aspect that stands out as significantly different to the Vector. With good preparation and technique I find the Vector gives efficient enough shaves to satisfy me, and I generally favour very efficient razors - so I’m not convinced that an increase in efficiency alone is enough of a reason to get the Asylum. The Vector is also so enjoyable to use. The only other SE I have is the Rocnel SE-50, and I’m finding it a bit clunky and numb feeling compared to the Vector.
Bottom line for me is that I can’t see a good reason to buy any SE razor other than the Vector. It is too good. But I haven’t used either the Asylum or the Claymore so I’m interested to hear more about them and what they might offer that the Vector doesn’t.

I have a v1 and I am happy about it. I have the cobra Classic, Hiram Commander 3 dot plate, Asylum Rx, Colonial General aluminium and would rank them in that order.
I have sold the Vector, found it too mild.

I have a few AC/SE Razors including the Alpha Claymore Evolution, which is proving to be very good, better than the Hawk V3 A and OC. I have not used the Vector so cannot compare it with The Claymore.

Likewise. Oddly, I had a message last night to tell me that something in the limited edition fountain pen field will be available to me tomorrow, so, with the RX 2, I smacked myself on the hand and told myself "No" or maybe "Not Yet".
