Choose your blade wisely, don't use pressure. You will be surprised how much wider the razor is and the area it covers with every stroke. I don't hand stroke the blades, but you can do it and see if there is a difference. Prolines P-30 are what people gravitate towards lately and my blade of choice too for the Hawk.
Absolutely, the take home is that a shallower angle seemed to work better for me. Same translated to the ES Claymore V2 when I had one. I'd say aggressiveness of straights depends on the user's preferred angle, too, as well as grind etc.A straight has no guard to protect and guide you, the Hawk does, it's also far less aggressive. I only have the V1 and I must say if the V2 is as efficient as the V1, for me and YMMV, I would consider it a bit less than mid-aggressive. Nowhere near as aggressive as the V2 Claymore or the Asylum RX.
I have considered SE razors, but am wary that the blades wiļ be harsh. De blade, feather is awful for me. Are any blades as good in terms of comfort as my beloved Polsilver si for instance.
Oh yes. Some of the blades are excellent and I dont think I would describe any of them as harsh. My personal favourites are the Proline B20 and P30. The 20's are for injectors and the 30's are for AC. Beautiful smooth shaves.
