  • Prep: Hot water splash with face wash
  • Razor: King C Gillette
  • Blade: Rockwell
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann Seville
  • Brush: Omega 10066
  • Splash: Barrister & Mann Seville

Good close shave. No irritation with only one tiny bleeder on my neck. Tried out the Rockwell blade, and the results for me were mixed. The blade had medium sharpness to it, but the feedback was not like what I wanted it to be. There was some tugging on the first go, which lingered in some areas with the coarsest hair during the subsequent passes. At least the blade wasn’t bad enough for me to give up on it mid-shave, as I persevered and kept going with it till the very end. It gave me a close shave to my liking, but it should’ve been better than what I actually got out of it. It’s not the worst blade I ever tried, it’s just an ok blade that gave me mixed results. Would I use that blade again? Probably not as there are other blades that I like that are miles better. Overall, good shave heading into the weekend. The next blade to try out is a blade made by Lord, so stay tuned.

Good luck with that Lord blade. They were always super tuggy for me.
