Courtesy of Andy on the BST (@ajc347), thank you very much!
2 unsed SV soaps that I can't wait to try.
Fantastic scents!

Blackland Vector Ti
Unfortunately a few of the preorders had bad boxes. The foam inserts didn't hold the razors so the razor has been loose the whole trip to Sweden and don't look so nice. But, Shane will of course send me a new razor and this razor will shave as good in the mean time.​

With the Claymore Evolution being the first SE I've felt comfortable with, decided to try the RazoRock Hawk V3 with the aggressive head.

Now when I seems to back on the SE track I was considering the Claymore Evolution or the Hawk and the Hawk (with the aggressive plate) is more tempting to me so I'm very curious how you like the the Hawk David.

I'll use the Hawk, tomorrow, Stefan. In the hand it feels more nimble and manoeuvrable than the Claymore. Time will tell if first impressions come true

Thanks David. Nimble is what I'm looking for and I'm considering one of the lighter RazoRock handles to match the head.

The Hawk V3 is an excellent razor. I am also very interested to see which is the more efficient of the 2.

Which ones didn't you like David?
My brass General is very comfortable and smooth. May not be considered nimble though.

Hi Matt. I've tried Cobra Classic, Blackland Vector and Sabre, Mongoose, Rocnel-G and Paradigm Ti SE. For shave quality and smoothness, the Paradigm was the easy winner, but that head was too large.

That's really interesting David. I assumed everyone likes the Vector. So far I have only tried ATT SE1, G1, Sabre and just today General in brass. Frankly I like them all but would like to try the Vector at some point.

I've had three Vectors and sold all. I even went on the pre-order list for the Ti, but thought better of it and cancelled.
I'm really impressed with the Claymore Evolution.

 

[Masamune]

Well, you did give the Vector plenty of chances.

Panic mode order. Got all of them in tallow base. Can't understand this madness of going vegan by many soapmakers.
Fingers crossed on Speick shave sticks now.
