His twitter feed says yes there will be more.

But only black.

Do you mean only black in the next batch....or only black going forward (meaning no more chrome)?

Thanks! I don't know why he can't continue with the Chrome though? All in all a rather bizarre state of affairs. It is a shame as his razor is nicer looking than that General.

I was right on the money about chancers though: £124. This guy can take a long walk off a short pier...

That is indeed interesting. Well, I guess I have a 'collector's item' w/ that Chrome now.
I wonder how many more BlackHawks he will release and not quite sure I understand the logic in discontinuing the chrome - as it was obviously very popular - and come out with a new satin finish. I can only assume it's a vendor cost/sourcing issue.

The thing I liked about the chrome was that it created less drag on my face and was a smoother shave. Granted the chrome finish was not the best, but I guess when you do precision aluminum machining, an anodized finish probably works better. So in a couple of weeks I can put mine up on ebay for $100!

Why discounting it for $100? I say go for $150-200

And yes, I also noticed less drag w/ the chrome one compared to the Black Hawk

Good job I bought the chrome one. Use it to destruction and then put it on the bay as a rare collectors item

I received my chrome Hawk yesterday and shaved with it this morning with a Kai mild blade. It is much lighter than I expected, especially when comparing to iKon El Jefe, where it feels feather light in comparison. Despite this, the Hawk shaved like a dream and I achieved BBS in my usual 3 passes plus touchups. I have a heavy beard and despite this, it sailed through the whiskers no problem. Smooth shaver. No weepers. Very nice for the price! Finish only minor imperfections. I am very happy with the Hawk. By the way, it is my opinion that the Kai milds are misnamed---do not let the name fool you--they are sharp as heck but smooth due to the PINK coating. Very nice blade. I find the Feather pros a little rough sometimes. I should also mention that the machining is spot on with the tabs so closely machined that the blade barely fits on the posts, but it does fit to the exact margin without scraping the posts. If only the El Jefe were machined to this degree on the posts, but hopefully that will soon be corrected.
