This is the first time I have had the fortunate opportunity to use the much talked about "Rockwell 6c." All I can say is WOW!
Since joining the DE world, I have managed to collate the Murker 34c, Muhle R89, Muhle R41, Piccolo Grande, and the Gillette asylum "1952."
I have also tried the futuristic Option 5.
It is a bold statement but I am absolutely in total admiration of this razor. I set it on plate #4 and can honestly say it has been the best experience I have ever had with the DE.
Every razor I currently own have individual wonderful characteristics but this razor has literally blown me away. YMMV.
It is silky smooth, very forgiving and removes whiskers without you realising. I have read reports that the bulky head has caused problems with the difficult areas such as the under nose hairs but I do not find this the case. There is enough blade edge to comfortably shave such areas.
The head is indeed bulky and the balance is definitely concentrated on there but again I love that. There is no pressure needed.
If you like a razor with "loud audibility" then this is not for you. I would like to nickname it as the " silent assassin."
A Wonderful experience that I cannot wait to try tomorrow.
I am now enabled and am considering the 6s?
Anyone know if the "adjustable" is on the horizon?
The other star of the show was the Truefit & Hill 1805, again my first time with this soap and the results were amongst the best I have experienced so far. Using the Maseto 30mm brush I managed to obtain a wonderful slick cushioned face lather that only required a pea size amount on the brush.
A three pass BBS shave that I will never forget.
Happy shaving everyone!
