I dig the coating as well. the black hawk is sleek enough for me though..definitely breaks it up from the usual silver/polished razors on the market today.

That's a crazy deal for 316L stainless. That's even better than the old Weber prices, which I thought were a thing of the past never to return. Good job, Joe.

It is a decent price relative to other stainless 316 razors. I don't know how I feel about the finish though. Black shows soap scum really bad with my water.
Shave yourself.

The finish on this is awesome. Matte gunmetal or grey or whatever. The milling is very precise.

That finish is awesome. How does it shave? How is the feel, i.e. heft and balance?

That is a very nice looking razor. Nice score.

I haven't used it yet. I loaned it to another that has the aluminum Hawk so he can give me a comparison. I'll let you know what he says.

There was a blemish on the top cap

I have a rotation that I don't interrupt mid cycle. I probably won't get to this razor until mid March.

Well that certainly is a crime I look forward to the comparison although I don't have any SE razors. Looking to possibly make this my first if I can grab one.

At least it's a generous crime!

I wasn't super impressed with the aluminum Hawk (YMMV) so I don't have high expectations with the SS. But... you can't argue how beautiful the craftsmanship is.

More details to come after use
