Well damn that's a great shaver. I did one superb pass with the Bunny last night (cuz I couldn't wait), two passes this morning with the Hawk/Pro, followed by a head shave exclusively with the Hawk. While the Hawk performed beautifully on the light beard it really shone on the head shave, delivering by far the closest I've had, taking care of tough spots heretofore only smoothed out with lots of buffing with the General or Injectomatic. A couple nicks but I'm sure that was me, a little irritation but not anything to worry about. Bunny tomorrow.
Black. A much more aggressive and efficient shave than the General, however the General I've only used with the Super blade which now has quite a few shaves on it. I'll have to put a fresh blade in the General for a fair comparison but Bunny v3 first up.
It's only on the head shave that I observe the superiority of the Hawk (for me) and it's only a first impression . Further investigation necessary to narrow it down to blade or razor.Ah, interesting.
I'd say The General, to me, wins in almost every aspect including efficiency. I think this is where YMMV and all that comes into play. Then again I've never head shaved so can't comment on that experience
Good first shave write up.
First time out with Razorock's new Hawk SE. I have shied away from buying this type of SE, because I did not really care for the length of the blade when using Feather AC and CJB shavettes. The opportunity to try this style of razor for only $25 seemed to good to pass up.
Tonight's shave was so-so. I was expecting a much more aggressive/efficient shave than what I got tonight. It was comfortable enough overall, but to me anyway, that size blade is not conducive to buffing/cleaning on areas that aren't flat, which is most of my face. [emoji1] That head is SO light, I think it will take a little pressure to do its best work, but I was apprehensive about doing that on the first time out. Left myself with a couple of weepers on my neck, and the alum block told me it was not my best work. Certainly worth more shaves before any real judgement is made.
Have a great night, everyone.

Ignoring Joe's blade rea) Welcome,
b) Happy you liked the Hawk
Ignoring Joe's advice, I used a Feather Pro Super for this morning's shave. Not bad. The Super has a very different feel than the Kai, with a significant yet comfortable blade presence. I find the Kai SE shave to be not much different in feel and results than a decent DE blade shave, but not so with the Super. The Super shave was a nice change-of-pace, said to have a face feel similar to that of a well-honed straight.Had my first shave with the chrome Hawk this morning. I had previously purchased a Mongoose Batch 2 razor and found it to be inefficient and irritating, so I'd concluded that SE's just weren't for me. I was wrong! The Hawk fitted with a Kai Mild blade produced a smooth, comfortable and close shave. I'm impressed.
Hope Stan decides to produce a Stainless Hawk (I fitted mine with an 85mm stainless handle).
