Yes it is a Razorock Hawk V3 geometry but made to take an injector blade. I made this one with a bit more exposure than stock. They both shave great. 

BBS wants to try to print these. I am having problems getting a good print.

So did that actual razor start life as a Hawk V3 or did you make it from scratch to match certain aspects of the Hawk V3?

Made it from scratch. I reverse engineered the head geometry.

That's really cool. I'd like to see some more pictures of that one.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Barbasol Shave Cream
The Bunny B-400 by Tom
C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
C.V. Heljestrand Wedge
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Barbasol Shave Cream lathered well with The Bunny B-400 by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher razor with a C.V. Heljestrand Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Well, well, well...

First shave with the Wabbit. @twhite is a genius. The razor is... well... different. Very lightweight (because 3D print). It is also genius. Super easy to load. Manoeuvrable. And very, very effective. And because if you tell a German, "there are three heads, I is mild, II is medium, and III is aggressive," said German will of course go for III. Did I mention that the razor is effective?

Overall, a very nice shave. Also effective. Good stuff. Thanks a million, Tom!

I had an excellent Easter Sunday shave with the Bunny V3 on loan from twhite and my copy of the Wabbit V3 (I think. It might be a V2) designed by Twhite. These are both excellent razors. The Mer Shaving Sandalwood soap lathered wonderfully.

I can agree with all your observations. However, I have not tried I or II as I went straight for III.
