I owe a big thanks to mayer57619 and twhite for today's fantastic shave. These are some of the most beautiful razors. One Old one New but they share a common and uncommon beauty. Common to each other but uncommon in the razor world. I love the mixture of materials and the engraved lines in the springs. As well as the rivets holding the springs in place. The two razors have a very different feel in the hand as well as the blade feel while shaving. However both razors shaved very well. I feel very lucky to be trusted to have them on loan. They are both remarkable razors.

Love the look of that handle and the ShaDE head. Did you modify the head yourself? I have one or two that I need to get around to modifying.

I did...just an extra head that was laying around without a handle.  The handle came in a lot of 3 with a V1 aluminum Hawk razor...my 2nd one that I may need to sell or trade.

Could you post a top down shot of the SHaDE. I'd like to see how you profiled the part that was cut off.
I have an Aluminum Hawk V2 and an SS Hawk V3 open comb head (no handle for the SS) . Nice razors. I should use them more often.

There are a couple of pics in the Old Type SHaDE thread in the Non vintage SE and SHaDE razor section

Cold Water Rinse
Morning TOST
Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger
J.A. Henckels Rapide

The Morning TOST Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher razor with a J.A. Henckels Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
