Fatip open comb Treet blade 1st use TOBS Herbal Gel pre-shave Santa Maria Del Fiore Sapone da Barba Simpson T2 Trafalgar synthetic brush Thayers Toner & Geo F Trumper Skin Food Pinaud Clubman Vanilla AS It takes a bit more work to get nice rich lather with this soap but, I got it! Nice lather and scent. 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with minor cleanup. Nice and smooth face! No cuts, nicks, or weepers. Alum bar gave minimal feedback. Another great shave!
I took a day off and let the beard grow for 2 days. I decided to use the Hawk. I have 2 base plates for the Hawk. Mild standard & the aggressive open comb. Today was the open comb and I think I have this razor tamed! Rode the cap with zero pressure and got the nicest shave so far with the Hawk v3 open comb! Hawk v3 with open comb base plate Captain Titan Mild blade (1st) Proraso Blue pre-shave cream Chiseled Face "Ghost Town Barber" soap Thayers toner & Geo F Trumper Skin Food (tiny dab - a little goes a LONG way) Clubman Pinaud reserve "Whisky Woods" AS Cold water face wash and cold water for the lather. The open comb was very nice today and gave me a super close shave. I may have to wait another 2 days to shave again! 3-pass shave with no cleanup. BBS shave! I could have even stopped at 1 pass! VERY pleasant shave. Alum bar gave zero feedback. This is my first shave with the open comb where I got no cuts, nicks, or weepers! No irritation at all! I have this one dialed in and now need to try it with a Feather Professional blade. (soon) I will use up this mild blade first. I hope all have just as pleasant a shave today!

Hawk v3 with open comb. I had a breakthru shave with the Hawk. Today, I shaved with a Professional blade and didn't cut myself! Menthol Monday Razor - Hawk v3 with open comb base plate Blade - Feather Professional (4th shave) Pre-shave - Proraso Blue Soap - Proraso Green menthol Brush - Simpson "Commodore" Post-Shave - Thayers Toner & Geo F Trumper "Skin Food" Sandalwood AS - Pinaud Clubman Menthol Monday and cold water shave. I wet the brush and loaded it in the menthol Proraso for about a minute and then switched to the lather bowl. I had to add some water and in about a minute had rich lather. Cold water rinse as well. I was going to use the Titan Mild blade again but, changed my mind at the last minute and put in a Feather Professional blade I had been using. Ride the cap! VERY light touch got me super close in 2 passes WTG & ATG. I got a couple weepers on my chin but, cold water stopped them. Alum bar gave minimal feedback. I will use the same razor/blade tomorrow too! This Hawk v3 is an impressive shaver. I won't say that I have tamed the beast yet tho. I will put a few more error free shaves behind me first!
I'm lookin' at that one for my next Stoylin freezer(I think I said that before, but hey, what the hey?)
