Second shave with the Rockwell 6S, it arrived on Saturday, however, I did not have time to post.

Excellent shave, the Rockwell looks like it should be a prop in a Batman movie :). Out of the box very smooth and efficient shave; it feels industrial in the hand, yet gives a gentle shave.

The Mugso lavender cream and cologne are both excellent, skin feels nice and soft, DFS + BBS- shave with no problems.

All the best,

Chris

Prep ~ Shower, Vitos tallow soap
Razor ~ Cobra Classic
Blade ~ Schick Proline P-30
Soap ~ Vitos Red
Brush ~ Brad Sears - Gonzo Silvertip
Bowl ~ TSR Group buy
Post ~ Floid Black Aftershave
Scent ~ Cedrat Boise - Mancera

I love this razor and blade combo, the shave was nothing short of fantastic, the Vitos red performed wonderfully and was whipped up into a creamy lather in no time at all.
I was left with a BBS Finnish in two passes and a little clean up, perfect. :)
This razor has gone to the number one spot as far as my modern razors are concerned ( Streamline is my number one vintage )
I finnished off the shave with a bracing splash of Floid Black and as it's going to be another sunny warm day I gave myself a few sprays of Cedrat Boise, just perfect for this weather.

Wishing you all a wonderful day......P.

It was great being back in my own bathroom and the R2 was a complete change after six days with the Cobra.
Thanks to @Dipesh for selling me this wonderful brush, which was awaiting my return.
A very nice welcome home shave was had.
Happy Shaving one and all.
