What's your assessment of the Hawk?

I've also heard that the movements in some Heimdallr automatics are unbranded Seikos as well. You know far, far more than me though and probably already know the correct answer to that.

My assessment of this OC Stainless 'Jaws' Hawk is that it is an efficient shaver that is quite rough feeling. I say rough 'feeling' as I don't believe I've ever cut myself with it or even had a significant weeper. Nor do I get skin irritation from it. It just isn't smooth for me. I have no idea if that is just because it is the Jaws model or not. I had the original aluminum Blackhawk and it wasn't this rough feeling, although it was too light.
Coles notes? A well-built, effective tool that just isn't a pleasure to use.

Duly noted. Perhaps the geometry of the head/blade exposure doesn't suit your face

The soap is still performing well.
The donut hole is ever-expanding.
Love the MonoBilt. Paired with a Light Brigade and you have darn-near the perfect combination.
Stank juice-extraordinaire.​

I miss my Puig(thanks @Primotenore).

Let me say if those aren't fancy watches, my name ain't Paul. They are so it is.

Why do you miss it? I PIFFED you a huge bottle?

AoS Lemon ~~Zenith~~British Red Tip/Wilkinson Chromium
Day Fourteen.
Final shave with the Lemon cream.
Good to the last dollop.
Pretty sure I know what's on the 3017 chopping block.
Stay tuned...​

You're right, it was big, but I used it a lot so it began to get too small to continue.

Congrats, Maestro. That was a short one, but you earned it after a few of your 3X milled 3017s for sure.

Day 4
Spent the weekend out at the lake. I was happy to shave in the den again this morning. Man, does the Supply (2 dot plate with a Proline) ever work well for me. So smooth and efficient. It is a wonderful product, but there isn't much scent with the Emulsion. A quick spritz of Terre d'Hermes rectified that walking out the door.

I don't see the date. Shux. And now I see it-between the 4 and 5.

Could well be. It did say "00", but I thought there was a way to control both zeroes.

Meaning you're now hoarding it?

This was an easy 3017. I have another AoS cream, albeit quite full, which has also firmed up significantly. That might be my next 3017. BTW, it is a perfect summer scent...

Y'know it's odd...right after I sent that it got me wondering-did I misplace it, as I did my Agadir A.S.?(I bought another Agadir just to be safe, but I bet it's somewhere in my apt...maybe the Puig, too? ) This is now an ongoing investigation.

In the new Olympic event of "Knocking Out Soaps", I wouldn't come anywhere close to a podium result. I would just have to be satisfied with being a competitor.
