Cheers, Pat. I like mine too.I like shaving with both my aluminium razors,the General being the other.They make a nice change from using the stainless steel heavy weights and are easy to manoeuvre around the face. My preferred blade in the SS Razors is the Kai Pink,to mild in the Hawk so I'll stick a Feather Pro or better still a Schick Proline in the Hawk to beef it up.
I don't feel the need to swap to a heavier handle,I like shaving with Hawk as is.
A good razor at an affordable price.
Cheers
You're welcome Stephen.Saturday
Another face freeze experiment...
P&B Denali (sample)
Semogue 2000
Face lather
Gem MMOC
Gem SS PTFE
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Alcolado Glacial Splash
A shout out to @Barry Giddens for forwarding the Alcolado Glacial. Many thanks, Mate!
I struggled to get a decent lather today; and my Semogue shedded about 6-8 bristles. Maybe I didn't soak it long enough...
Anyhoo, another smooth, close finish. I can see why the Glacial sells well in hotter climes: it really is a freezer!!
I think I will be sticking with my synth brushes as my weapons of choice. They are dependable and work better for me.

Today's shave:
- Grooming Dept Wonderland
- Vie-Long 12705B
- Rockwell 2C (R3) with Windrose handle and ASP blade
- Prince Classic aftershave
The soap reminds me of an old dentist's office: clean but also a bit stale or musty, with the smell of some mysterious paste or other freshly preparated concoction still in the air. (My judgement may be clouded by the wisdom tooth removal I had done yesterday, though... it went great; still hurts a bit, but no swelling at all.)
