I've used all six levels of my Rockwell 6S. I think I prefer plates 3 and 4, but I like them all depending on the type of shave I'm looking for on any given day.
Everyone be safe and have a great day 😀. 20260125_122324~3.jpg

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Returned to Ariana & Evans and their fantastic Brut homage, "60's Cologne" shave soap. A great Old School scent with an incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Rich Yuengel synth for three passes with the Timeless TRBR38 and I finished with alum, followed by Quinn's "Cucumber & Mint" witch hazel and the Brut aftershave splash & EdT.

Another effortless BBS shave!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Menthol Monday’s Mega Frigid Action:

Super Speed/Crystal day 9
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Stirling Baker Street EdT

Guys, read the review that I wrote on the Absolute Zero soap and you’ll see what I mean by frigidity. The matching aftershave has the exact same nice aquatic/minty scent, and the menthol sensation is just as strong if not stronger. Finally the lovely Baker Street fragrance and I’m ready to relax at home - retirement sure feels great especially during a massive snowstorm like we’re getting today. Another brilliant three pass BBS shave that was so enjoyable despite my tearing eyes! 😂😂😂😂😂

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Almost 2 days of growth. The Timeless Aluminum Slant took it down easily. The Voskhod is a very smooth blade.

Razor: Occam's Razor Hiram Commander
Blade: Schick Proline (D2)
Brush: Rooney Heritage Emillion 1 Super Badger
Bowl: Symmetrical Sheet Metal
Pre-Shave Scrub: Stirling Mentholated
Pre-Shave Balm: TSD Oakmoss Sandalwood
Shave Soap: Tabac
Balm: Tabac
Cologne: Tabac​
 
My first shave with the new Crabtree and Evelyn mixed badger and boar brush. It has a nice heft to it and a decent amount of skritch. It seems like the center of the brush is mostly boar and the outside is mostly badger. I can’t say I’m impressed with this vintage knot, but once the boar tips break in I’m sure it with be a great brush. I thought the fibers would be more mixed than boar surrounded by badger.

Razor: Robeson Shuredge 5/8
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn mixed Bristle
Aftershave: Proraso
