I used a Feather Pro Blade for my 1st shave with the Hawk. I have not been bitten - yet! It is the medium Feather I believe. There are pro guard - mild or Super for more efficient. I am waiting for some Proline to come so cannot say about these. I have tried the Kai Captain Pinks but not in the Hawk. Not as big a mine field as DE blades though.
By far my favourite is the Kai Captain. I have tried the sharper end of the SE blade world and find them a tad too much for my liking. The Captain kind of sits in the middle. Works lovely in the Hawk and a nice blade as an introduction to SE shaving.
The only thing I would say is that for a new out of the pack blade they will smart a little but from the second shave onwards brilliant. They do take kindly to 'hand stropping'
Just used one an hour ago and a very smooth shave and finish.
Other than blade choice, replacing the handle improves the dynamics of the Hawk no end. The stock handle is a bit shoddy to say the least. Some like it, I detested it
Feather Soft Guard for me. It's THE blade for sensitive skin with a completely different guard style. I find it ultra-mild but nonetheless very effective.
I should just mention that it is reputed to be designed for ladies'...ermmm...well, ladies!
