RazoRock Hawk (SE)

Thanks for the heads up, ☹️

Per the RazoRock Instagram account yesterday:

“Got a prototype before I left for holiday and it wasn’t right so we had to make changes… It’s going to take a bit longer, hopefully we get it right this go around.”

That's interesting Matt.  I would have to look back but I thought in early July there was a post in this thread from IB that it was in production.  Assumed this meant past the prototype stage.

I haven’t been following the Hawk that closely, but I would also have imagined that things are further along by now, so I was a little surprised by yesterday’s post. But I’ve read about these things happening before — picking up a prototype (or even worse, a whole batch) from a manufacturer only to find out that something went wrong somewhere in the process. Trial and error, I guess…

Damn man, how much longer? Really want to try this Razor. It's the only thing I could justify spending money on right now. At least the wife wouldn't cry to much when she sees it was only 20 bucks. Lol

flintlock you think you'll be able to hold to just $20. I mean that's 1/3 of the way to free shipping.  I suppose if you get just the razor it will probably be $5-$6 shipping. You're almost halfway now. You're saving money by buying more cause your saving on shipping costs.

Lol, your Right Scott, I probably Will buy more items. What's an OCDer to do

Today’s update on the Hawk (from Instagram):
“It looks like we finally got this #razorock #hawk #razor right. It should be in production very soon.”

Additionally, the photo with this announcement shows the chrome version of the razor (which is also displayed on the Italian Barber website) and an anodized black version of the Hawk.

Thanks Matt. The handle looks different also. Wonder if it's going to be an option right away.

You got it! I was wondering about that handle, too. It actually almost looks like the iKon OSS Überglide. So I’m wondering if there will be a black handle at all. I’m guessing there will, but it may be different than the one in the picture.

Speaking of iKon, they are working on their own SE razor (who isn’t these days?), and seem to be aiming for a December release. From the pictures I’ve seen, the design is very similar to the Hawk, but the materials will surely be different.

I think the chrome handle might already be available on other RR models. I could be mistaken.

The package of blades might be more expensive than the razor?

You guys are killing me. Lol
