This is my first single edge razor. I usually shave with straights, and sometimes a DE.
Last year I purchased a Feather Artist Club and was very impressed with the Feather Professional blade.
I don't usually read the SE forum, so only recently learned that there are SE razors for the Feather.
The RazoRock Hawk arrived today, and I just had my first shave with it.
Very, very impressed. I recommend you gents try it.
The RazoRock one is the super affordable one, as you know.
One pass WTG and virtually a BBS result. That was impressive.
What was also impressive is that somehow, despite its extreme sharpness, it manages to be gentle. I had no weepers.
Even more, for the last week or so I have been shaving with a DE, a Karve open comb D plate. An aggressive razor. Unless I am very careful, I get weepers. And there is one spot that I nicked, and as it's not fully healed, for the last week, this Karve keeps opening it up again and making it bleed.
But with this SE, nothing. I accidentally went over that spot and braced myself for blood.
Nope. No blood at all.
Although one pass did the job, just out of curiosity, I lathered up and did two more passes. XTG and ATG. Surely this would create some rawness, yes?
Nope. No rawness even with deliberately overshaving. And the aftershave gave normal heat, no fire.
Recommend.
