I know I want one. Anyone else?
Already have the SS DLC Hawk V1. It's a smooth operator. If it's as good as the first one, don't hesitate Gents. It will move lightning quick, especially if it stays around the same price point. And IB is good for that.....
I can't speak about products being defective or how they were handled. I can only surmise from my own personal experience. I've had no issues with the vendor or it's products. The RR DLC SS Hawk that I purchased has been excellent in all aspects. Again, I can't speak for others who might have had an issue(s) with said vendor and/or products and hopefully they were resolved forthright.Hesitation may come for some, if they read about how defective products may have been handled.
Problems happen with any product. But the way they are resolved says volumes, and this is where the buyer should research before buying.I can't speak about products being defective or how they were handled.

Understood. I just don't have anything negative to say to be honest. Again, that's my own experience. But due diligence is required in all things when referring to purchasing a product or service. In this I agree with your statement.Problems happen with any product. But the way they are resolved says volumes, and this is where the buyer should research before buying.
.....and whats up with that ugly handle being used on every razor they have released lately?
I'm sorry to anyone that feels offended by my comment and it wasn't meant in that manner and maybe I should've worded it differently and I'm glad you like the handle. That being said I should've only questioned why aren't there any other handle options? I passed on the last Wunderbar release solely because of the handle. Both, in the BST and on IB's site. I contacted CS and asked if I could get it with another handle and was flat out told it only is sold with that handle and that is how I'd have to purchase it. Not exactly great CS there... My money certainly must be different from others and obviously not needed by them I'd assume!!I like that ugly handle. In fact, I pulled the titanium handle from my MJ90 (which I don't like) and screwed it onto my Wunderbar.
Rumor has it, and it is just a rumor. But a couple of other shave forums have stated that there might be some legal ramifications with Mongoose and Italian Barber over design specifications. Hence the redesign of the Hawk. Just speculation, but it is floating about on the web......From the Instagram page: "updated top cap, alignment posts, base plate bar and handle. Overall shaving geometry is the same."
Additionally, in reference to someone asking about a stainless version: "let's judge the feedback from the aluminum first".
So it would appear to be an update to the aluminum version.

Some details on the Hawk V2 have been given on razorocks instagram page. New improved blade post design I believe was one of the changes mentioned.
So now...copy the General's design lol...It's doesn't appear to be too similar to the General - The General bottom plate is totally flat on the underside. The Hawk V2 looks to be curved downward but they both have the rounded top cap design. Can you patent the rounded top cap - pretty much every DE razor I've ever seen has a rounded top cap and the heads angled design specifications for the Hawk V1 and Mongoose are not only for aesthetics, the design is there to facilitate the proper shaving angle so naturally, if you are not going rounded they would all design their heads with a similar angle...right? I don't have a Mongoose so don't really know how much of a resemblance (besides appearance) there is to that one.Rumor has it, and it is just a rumor.
