I've tried the Claymore which I found a little too Mild and the new Evo which I loved and regrettably had to sell, it was one of my all time favourite DE's and will be saving for a replacement as I loved it so much. I only sold due to cash being tight, rather than not finding it a capable razor. It was great, and a very close shave like a cross between a Blackbird and Rockwell 6s 5-6 plate, I found it very efficient and smooth enough for daily shaves. I am hoping their will be a jump in efficiency with the Spirit too.
