Today was "stand alone day" for the Vector.
A great lather from the Wickams and Chubby synth, i overloaded really and had enough chin goodness for 4 passes.
So 3 easy Comfortable passes today for a BBS face feeler, i could have got away with 2 and a touch up, however, i hate to waste a lovely lather.
A nice post shave leaving me a very happy shaver.
For me the Vector wins this little trial, not exactly "hands down" but it just does.
The Hawk is an excellent razor and i am pretty sure with more time and trialling a few different blades it could match the Vector's shave quality, not that i am saying it does not shave well.
To me, the look and feel of the Vector is better. YMMV, of course.
With the Hawk you get a great tool for a very good price, and i would recommend it if you did not have either a General V2 or Vector.
I did not find the A Plate overly aggressive, it was efficient but did not give any indication it would bite. I did think the Std plate struggled a bit, i don't have a heavy beard either.
Will i be chasing one? Not really, however, if one crops up i could be tempted to add to the collection.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
