Shave Report 3
Decided to have a shave with the Black Hawk this morning.
Used the same blade as I used in the Chrome version a few days ago so the blade shouldn't be a significant reason for any perceived differences between the two razors.
Lathered up and had my regular two passes (WTG and ATG). As this was the third time using a Hawk gone was the initial surprise of how 'toy like' it feels and I was able to focus more on the shave.
Two passes and I was very cleanly shaved. I still feel that it's a rather mild razor - maybe slightly more aggressive than the Mongoose - but I have to say it's still capable of giving a very nice shave.
I felt the very slight 'drag' with the Black Hawk but to be honest - if I didn't have the Chrome version to compare to I don't think I really would have noticed. As these are rather budget positioned razors I'm also taking into account that it might just be a slight manufacturing tolerance difference between the two. Still, not significant enough to impact the overall shave.
Next shave I want to try out a Hawk head on a slightly heavier handle to see how that changes the shave.

Lol we are all being mugged lol oh wellERM, oh no it hasn't but a fekkin ransom note has!
First Impressions:
OMFG - it is SO light! It almost feels like a toy razor...
Quality is unbelievable for the price, all mates to together nicely. Threads are a little rough, but it works fine. There are couple of little flaws in the chrome finish but you can't really complain at the price. I'd say it is on a par with Fatip...
Looking forward to the shave soon...

Drat why was I to lazy to do that lol. So how's the finish under the cap and on top of the base plate?I went to the Delivery office, paid and collected
Yeah definitely, I've already tried it on my iKon Bulldog, but I think it needs a slightly longer handle...
Decent enough; it is NOT Edwin Jagger quality, far far from it. It is nice and shiny though!
