I am pondering whether to use the Maggard MR11 Stainless (a definite favorite) or one of the Titanium handles in residence.
Guess I'll end up trying a shave with each handle and take it from there.
RazoRock Black Hawk - V2

ok had to try this out, ordered a black hawk v2 should be here soon
I tried the Razorock Hawk V1 for couple weeks and it's a wonderful razor. Medium aggression and plenty efficient for my skin. No irritation at all but just smooth shaves. I think V1 is pretty much the same as V2 except for cosmetic differences. I also have V2 that I'm waiting to use.
The Hawk feels a lot better than vintage SEs. I tried a vintage Schick Eversharp with Ted Pellas blades and it was okay. It felt a bit rough at times and I did not enjoy it as much as the Hawk. Also, I have a Gem Featherweight waiting to use so that'll be an interesting experience too.

The GEM Featherweight is a very good razor. Really works well for me.
Would be very interested in your shaving impressions.
got mine , will test drive today
Let us know how you like it.
of course 
I have the Hawk V2 in electric blue and I love it.
Ok tried my new Hawk V2 today used some Oleo Bonaire from the soap pass around that I'm in. Nice soap but the razor was excellent , soothe and easy to navigate . Used a Feather pro which I like and use in my Schick E2
only now I don't have to cut then down.For a first shave I like it, tomorrow I'll try it with my favorite Grooming Dept soap should be great .

Shaved with the RazoRock Black Hawk V2 on a Maggard MR11 handle today. Blade was a Feather Professional.
The RR Hawk V2 now occupies the 'Top Spot' in my Artist Club blade razors, moving ahead of the ATT SE1 Aluminum and the Occam's Razor.
In my opinion, this razor is a heck of a bargain for the price. Also in my opinion, the Hawk V2 benefits greatly from using a different handle. The Maggard MR11 works fine ($10 at Maggards if you are okay with a blue handle). I think, though, that one of the Ti handles could be an even better match (for a lot more money than the MR11).
Today's shave:
Shave 20191203
Prep/Pre-shave: Neutrogena wash, apply Cremo
Brush: OMEGA 011842 Premium Pure Bristle
Soap: Speick Shave Stick
Bowl: Timeless Blue (to 'dip the tips')
Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk V2, Maggard MR11 Handle
Blade: Feather AC (5)
Post-shave: Crystal Alum Stick, Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave Balm: CeraVe Cream
Aftershave: Speick
WTG, ATG plus buffing and XTG touch--up.
DFS with one weeper, no nicks, cuts or irritation.
9+/10
Just my opinion and YMMV.

shave 2 with mine , great shave but I might look into another handle the razor does seem a bit light. I have a few to choose from so it time to play
On another thread about the Hawk V2, a few guys have said they now use the Hawk as their go-to razor even though they have several other Artist Club type razors.
I too have joined the club. The Hawk V2 is my go-to razor now. Anyone else use the Hawk as their go-to razor?

I just ordered a MR11 stainless steel black handle from Maggards. I want to add a little weight to the razor.
It should go alright with my blue head.

The RR Hawk V2 is my favorite Artist Club razor. Really nice shaves.
The MR11 works really well on the Hawk V2. Nice match.
I have the Hawk in electric blue which is just fine but I wanted to try a different handle to add some weight and something more grippy. So I got a black Maggards MR-11 handle. I will try it tonight.
