How would you compare the L1 plate Sabre to the Hawk in terms of efficiency?

The Hawk as supplied is quite a mild razor. I usually have to use Feathers as opposed to Prolines or of course use a heavier handle. The Saber L1 is a razor where you just can't go wrong. Very smooth and very efficient. You can't do much to change things....it just works. If you want to up the ante.....then you need the L2 plate. I have never tried it as that would probably trigger another purchase!. I believe there is more blade feel.
