Delightful shave.
 
First shave with my Charcoal Goods Level 2 copper. Wow, I love a razor that i instantly get along with and get great shaves from. This razor is heavy but is as smooth as a .84 GC or Plate 5 6s. Beautiful hammered copper handle matches my Captains Choice bowl as well once polished.

After a quick 2 pass shave, I am stunned at how efficient and smooth it was, this is undoubtedly one of the best razors (Vintage and Modern) in the 6 years I’ve been wet shaving. Reaching a level of efficiency, blade feel, angle, smoothness and exposure that shaves this well is a treat.

Nacet, Mysterium Serum, B&M Cool soap, StarCraft brush, CG level 2 copper.

First shave with rhe Hawk. And considering that I struggled at first with finding the right angle, not to mention having screwed up the lather (too watery), it was a relatively smooth and very efficient two-pass BBS shave.
