I have never tried any razor t bar style with ac blades.I have both the original flatted cap and the revamped rounded aluminium Hawks, and they both shave well. Making the later Hawk's top cap
rounded, rather than flat planes, was, to my mind, a great improvement, and I think that's the only version now offered.
Other than using AC blades, I personally don't think there are too many points of comparison between the Hawk (and other similar AC razors) and the Occam's.
Another point with the Hawk is that it's very well-priced, thus making it a "reasonable gamble" purchase, rather than a "blue-chip speculation". If
it doesn't suit, it hasn't cost the buyer his shirt.
Go for the Hawk, and maybe a Schick Proline blade. Someone may well send you a couple of blades to try- depends where you live.I have never tried any razor t bar style with ac blades.

Have you tried any Vintage SE ? The Hawk is the Cheapest AC/SE and if you get one and do not like it it will sell on quite easily.Im on the fence about whether to get it or not.

I have only tried schick injectors and an ac folding and kamisori. I want to try a tbar ac razor like the hawk ors similar.Have you tried any Vintage SE ? The Hawk is the Cheapest AC/SE and if you get one and do not like it it will sell on quite easily.
I agree that the Hawk is a good razor. I have the Hulk Hawk (green version) had to go for the $5 discount. I was quite happy with it until my Vector arrived. I've been using the Vector regularly for both head and face shaves. It's a wonderful razor.Interested to know if you bought one, FWIW I just shaved with my new Hawk V2 (with Schick P30) tonight, I was very impressed; far more efficient than my EJ DE87, no pressure required. I reckon this will be my daily shaver for a while to come.
Don't know if you're aware, but Classic Shaving has a sale on the Occam's Nano! They're going for $65. That doesn't help me! I own a Nano, but it's nota good fit for me. I was looking to sell until the sale.They're clearing out inventory to make room for the new Enoch razor.Not tried changing the plate in my Nano. To be honest at the moment I don't think I will. Plate two and a Pro Guard work so well for me I can't see the point in changing anything.
The Hulk is a nice razor, I tried that with a Guard and it was ok. A P-30 was recommended and it's a great blade for that razor for sure.
Yes I did see that. Great offer, but if you want that cheaper shipping rate you need to order something else. I did, pleased I did as the Classic Shaving soap is very good.Don't know if you're aware, but Classic Shaving has a sale on the Occam's Nano! They're going for $65. That doesn't help me!

I think you may find that it is the original Occams up for Sale, and not the Nano updated version.Don't know if you're aware, but Classic Shaving has a sale on the Occam's Nano!

Get in and buy one, they are currently on offer under $25 and will disappear quickly at that price.Yep the hulk is the one i want....
Make sure you pair it with a Schick Proline blade. It delivers a wonderful, close shave in all my AC razors that accommodate it.Get in and buy one, they are currently on offer under $25 and will disappear quickly at that price.
