TUESDAY
PRE: bloom water
RAZOR: RazoRock Silver Hawk V2
BLADE: Schick Proline
BRUSH: WCS 26mm Synthetic BOSS Knot
SOAP: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
POST: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver AS

IMHO the $30 aluninum Hawk is one of the best bargains in the shaving world. It outshaves many of my stainless DEs costing more than five times as much. I also have two stainless steel Hawks, standard and OC. And yes, they are slightly more efficient than the aluminum version, at more than twice the price.

Blade Feather ProGuard 11th use

Nice enough lather from the soap. Mid strength & pleasant. Easy to create a creamily slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade is still smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues resulting in a bbs to dfs finish. Nice cooling aftershaves on this oven-hot day.

Been a long time since I've used the El Jefe. What struck me is the amazing amount of blade feel while still remaining smooth. Want to use it a few shaves in a row to verify my impression.

1st shave with a vintage razor
Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip
Blade: GEM PTFE (3)
Brush: Paladin El Dorado
Soap: Martin de Candre Rose
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

The Shave: Reduced variables by using FAVS for brush/soap/aftershave. 2 WTG and ATG on face, 2 WTGon neck. Smooth, DFS+. Taking my time getting to know my new razor. Easy to achieve the angle by placing Guiding eye flat on face and listening to the feedback.
Early Verdict: Bullet Tip is a keeper!

Which Hawk V3: Standard, OC, or "A" plate?

Razor: Yaqi 50 Light Weight Head and Custom Handle
Blade: Blade that came with it [2]
Second shave with razor and the blade that ships with it.
A full week of stubble and it mowed right through.
Two pass BBS
I didn't like the feel of the handle so I chose one that I like to match it.

I’m guessing the A. That’s what came with it when I bought it. I didn’t know there were options.

My guess is it would have been bloodier with the OC.

Feathers are not my friend. I prefer Prolines.
