RazoRockSatin Silver HAWK Single Edge Razor

I've had this for about 3 weeks of daily shaves. I really like it a lot. It is very light and that took about 2 days to get used to. Not a problem, in fact I think it gives an excellent feel for what it going on at the cutting end. I've been getting great shaves using it. I use the feather artisan blades and I'm still on my first blade which is a big surprise to me that it would last so long. I rinse the blade (while still loosely in the razor head) in a jar of rubbing alcohol which helps prevent rust so that has something to do with it. It is beautifully machined and an exceptionally high quality product and a very reasonable price. It's a work of shaving art and I heartily recommend this razor to anyone.

I’ve been using DE razors for 20 years and have never used a more aggressive razor. And, it’s way too light. No heft. Anyway, I could barely make it through a shave without cutting myself. Returned.

Pros:Cheap price pointCons:Aluminum, so feels like crap. So light, feels like a disposable plastic razorBad design - no place for the stubble and soap to go so it instantly clogs up the razor and have to spin the handle off to clean it.Horrible blade exposure - don't think anyone bothered putting a blade in this. Wrong angle and wrong depth of blade exposure = couple dozen weepers every time I shave...unless I put in the Pro blade. Then I wish I only had a couple dozen weepers.Gave this razor to a guy I don't like. His problem now, love seeing the scratches on his neck. Too dumb to realize it's a bad razor.

The price and fit is fantastic but the handle is junk and the blade angle is a but different and seems to be fussy to shave with. There are many similarities between the design of this and the much better MR-SE aka El Jeffe by iKon. The backside is not full to reduce the weight and the fitting is better then the El Jeffe but now we get to the problems. It's a light alloy although they have a three hole section in the guard to increase strength. I dont like the finish of the head as it's a bit grippy. The angle is a bit different causing the shave to be more fussy and grippy vs the smooth El-Jeffe.Throw the handle away and get a Weber solid stainless steel short or long bulldog handle. It will fit almost all three piece razors both SE and DE. Used with a Kai Mild blade it's a inexpensive intro to the SE world of artison blades but just not right for me.

Well made and well designed. Using it with Artist Club razors provided both a fast as well as smooth shave. It is able to get you a close shave while enjoying the features of what "Feather" and similar style blades are capable of doing. Think of it as an overgrown Schick injector razor. It looks and feels similar, except blades are not entered with the "injector" tip,but rather they are put in more like the older 3 piece and some modern DE razors. Not complicated at all. I got GREAT shaves from this razor and Feather Artistry Club Pro blades.

Nice razor but it's too light for my liking.

The pins do not line up with any blades.Tried 3 different blades. The pins are not in a place that the blade can be properly placed.

I've been a wet shaver for 50 years and have run the gamut from cartridge razors, to closed comb DE's, and then to open comb DE's, always buying quality razors and blades. The Hawk V2 is giving me the closest shave that I've ever had, with the fewest passes. The combination of the blade angle and the shavette blade (I use the Feather AC Pro) does a truly remarkable job. The price offers great value as well.
