RazoRock Hawk V3

I have a Hawk V2 that does a very good job. I am looking to get a V3 and am looking at the A plate. Daily shaver with moderate to coarse gray beard. Appreciate any insight from those familiar with these razors. 
Thanks

StephenG  I have the V2 and previously owned the V3 with standard and OC plates. I have a fairly demanding beard profile and found the V3 standard plate was too mild, while the OC plate was a bit too aggressive, relative to its incremental increase in efficiency. I think the A might be a good fit, from what I have gathered from other posts, if you are looking for an increase in efficiency from the V2, otherwise the standard plate might be a consideration. Also, the V3 offered a nice step up in build quality, although it did come with a weight increase over the aluminum V2.

I keep telling myself I need to revisit that V2. I have kept it around for sentimental reasons but have since moved on to the Atelier Durdan La Faulx (after a stint with the Vector). I realize that the La Faulx is on the premium end of the price spectrum but definitely worth considering if you are branching out to other AC models.

Which plate did you get for the La Faulx? I have read a lot of positive reviews and could be interested.

I have the Classic and ++ plate. Although most of my experience has been with the Classic, with one important caveat: I have to use a Feather Pro Super to achieve the level of efficiency for my beard profile. I find many are happy with the Classic and relying on the in-built efficiency adjustment from more conventional AC blades. From memory, I believe the V2 would be close to the level of efficiency of the classic plate. If it is helpful, I could conduct a side by side shave comparing the Hawk V2 with the La Faulx Classic. I have sold off much of my AC blade library and only have Feather Pro, Feather Pro Super, and Kai Captain Titan Milds/PINKS (un guarded).

I am still evaluating how I feel about the efficiency vs comfort trade off of the ++ with say a Feather Pro vs the classic with a Feather Pro Super. But the ++ definitely increases the efficiency over the classic plate. And of course the + could be another option.

I have the V3 Hawk OC and have only shaved with it once so far but it was a great efficient razor, way more efficient than expected but I am basing that on most DE razor formats.  Recently got into GEM styles and they are pretty efficient as well.  Like rocket I also have a La Faulx from Atelier Durdan.  Mine is +++ Ultra so probably more aggressive than you'd be looking for.  I'd highly recommend the Hawk V3 OC!

I have all the Hawk since v1 came out in 2015.
All great.
The stainless steel v3 is the best imo, because it is polished and it glides amazingly well.
Between the 3 plates available, the standard plate works best for me.
Highly recommend.

I have now used the Hawk V3 with the Standard Plate for a couple of weeks with the Kai Pink blade. I a word it is superb. Proraso Green face lathered with the new Asylum Boar. 3 passes to BBS with zero irritation. I got the Super Knurl handle and it is very comfortable. I changed the blade after 5 shaves. I’m sure that it could have gone a few more. So for now I will hold off on the A plate. My next decision is whether to get the Vector next month when it goes on sale.
