So, the RazoRock Hawk?
My surprise gift from @Paul L, thanks again!
Fantastic handling, grip is excellent & I was whipping this piece around, swinging in & out on the cap,
riding it to dial in the aggression, really enjoyed using this as this is my first AC SE razor.
I maybe should have used a Feather Pro for a little extra smoothness on the blade feel but apart from that this shave was fun!
2 pass WTG, XTG/ATG mix & a minor pickup & I got a solid DFS+.
First outing with the Hawk & I'll give it an 8/10. Possible 9 if I had gone with the Pro blade.
No lather issues either today. The Wickham just exploding out of the Yaqi, it just wasn't giving up.
All set for the day.

Have a great Sunday shave folks!​

Today i decided to use a new blade in the Vector instead of swapping out.
A very nice shave, everything working as it should with an exceptional lather today, so easy, all in all, leaving me clean and refreshed for the day.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

FACE OFF, (or hopefully not!)
Prep: Shower with Boot’s no. 7 exfoliating face wash.

Pre: None

Soap: Tabac

Brush: 24mm Oumobrush Silvertip in a Handmade Bog Oak Handle from Etsy.

Razor: Hone 15a on the right side, Hone 15 on the left.

Blade: Astra SP in both brand new.

Post: Alum, Bart’s balm aftershave balm sample.

Every since my son had seen me sneak the 2nd Hone into the bathroom he has asked me to compare them! (He’s all about science Experiments!) Hence I kept it all simple today, basic face prep, no preshave, Tabac as despite some views, you know you’ll get a good lather on the face and the same basic blades out the packs.
The outcome… I’ve got to say there’s barely anything in it. The weight of the original makes for a more traditional shave as the razor really does most of the work for you, 3 passes produced an irritation free shave, smoother than most I’ve had This week. The 15a had maybe marginally more blade feel but you barely feel the razor. There is a temptation to put some pressure on but in the most part I resisted. I got similar results maybe slightly less efficient but I can barely tell, you certainly can’t see it. I just feel slightly more stubble growth now later in the day, but it’s really marginal and not visible to the eye.
Overall I wouldn’t be without either. The lightness and manoeuvrability of the 15a makes it a better daily choice on work days but the weight and ever, ever so slightly more efficient shave I get from the 15 is ideal for weekends or when I have more time. These are not going in the BST!
