Silver hawk with heavy handle. This is the key to a great shave with this razor for me.

SEptember 29
Finally got to do a real shave with my Holy Grail razor!
Heljestrand SE razor
Henckels wedge blade
Scheerzeep Groene Thee (transferred to a green Captain's Choice Soap Locker)
Now I know why many say it is the best of the lather catchers. It is well balanced, and well built. Very easy to use no pressure as the weight naturally guides the razor. This shave beats out last night's shave which I said was one of my best SEpember shave.

My favorite combination to close out SEptember
HENCKELS WOTAN/DORKO WEDGE BLADE
--this morning I went with my favorite SE razor paired with a well honed DORKO wedge blade. I looked for the Haslinger grabbed the Razorock PLISSOFT commenced to face lather and was rewarded with a CCS.
Shave completed I splashed on the Fine Accoutrements Platinum and what a great start to my day

Closing out September with a 100 plus year old Gem Junior 1900 Lather Catcher.
I used a 100 year old matching Gem blade that came with it.
A nice 2 pass leaving me with a DFS.
Very nice mild shave using my favorite badger brush.
I believe I will be keeping this one.

The last day of SEptember- this was not the month I had planned being interrupted by a hurricane.
I didn't get to all of my razors this month like I had hoped. Today I wavered between my auto-stop and my PAL injecto-matic and chose the latter with some reservations.
When I got this razor it was early in my experience and I didn't get a good shave with it so I haven't picked it up since. Now that I know how to find the right angle it gave a GREAT shave!
Hope everyone had fun with this thread I know I enjoyed reading about all of the great SE razors out there! See you all next year Don't forget there is a Single Edge Sunday thread you can drop by and show off your razors!

Thank you @Sdm84, this razor will forever have a place in my rotation. I have changed to using str8's for my daily shave but I always manage to get the WOTAN/DORKO some FaceTime.Such an exquisite example of the henckels! Congrats

Last day of SEptember had to be a SE. I missed some days using some new shavettes but hit about 2 out of every 3 with a proper SE, so I'm gonna say, not bad. Thanks to @Sdm84 and @gvw755 for the enthusiasm and getting things rolling and to everyone who participated. Nice to see all the interesting SE's and realize my collection is woefully understocked

Today's shave was with the Ender's razor by Christy. I got some blades from ebay and decided to use one from the one pack that was already opened. The blade was pretty dull, so now I think I may have to open another pack to see if there's any difference. I got through a WTG and XTG but ATG was really tuggy and not getting much done. The handle itself is simple and easy to use and I like the rigid blade with the clip that seems really firmly seated in there. Anybody sharpened these? Is it possible?
Happy SEptember and now time to jump into OCtober!
