The Hawk I use with the pro and it gives me a fantastic shave. I consider it a mild razor in need of beefing up with the pro.
The General I cannot say anything about as it's still in the mail, but once it arrives, I'll use it again with the pro.
The pro-guard I use with the RX as it's an aggressive razor. I tried it in the El-Jefe as well but somehow I had alignment problems so next time I'll use the kai mild.
I have been using my new polished Hawk since Friday with a Feather Pro Guard blade - I have been getting smooth irritation-free shaves. My new General just arrived in the mail today - I loaded it with a Feather Super Pro (based on the reviews I have read, the General works well with a very sharp blade). I am going to try it out in the AM with a day and a half's growth on my chin. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow!
I had my first shave with the Hawk yesterday and I was surprised by how mild it is. I used it with the Freather Pro and I got a super excellent shave.
I would be surprised if The Gpeneral is even milder than the Hawk but I'll discover it soon, it will arrive today or tomorrow.
Quoting fellas above so they post their ultimate conclusion once they've put their gear through it's paces.
To anyone with the both the Hawk and General, which does a better job of getting the stubble directly under the nose during a WTG pass? I can never cut them all down during the WTG pass using the Hawk, have to come in at some bizarre angels and really contort the face.
After using the Hawk for a while now, I have to say it's comfort level is a mirror image of the blade. I'm on my 20th or so shave of Kai mild and have dulled it out quite a bit so it rarely bites. But it's sharp enough when moved swiftly to give an acceptable BBS. Wonder if the General is the same or if the curved head has more of an affect.
