Rockwell rocks

05.03.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Feather Hi Stainless
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Clubguy (CK1)
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block (Pieces)

I am really enjoying the Rockwell razor. The heft of it, the adjustability with the various plates, and the handle texture. I’m in love.

So I’m just after a dome shave today. Really not in the mood to work around the sharper curves of the face. But I very good shave, the blade has been broken in after my last shave.

Did I say that I’m really enjoying the Rockwell?

I turned another year older today, and of couse I took the day off work. What better wat to start the day (after the kids were off to school) than with a nice clean shave for the day.

Not sure what happened today, maybe I became a little cocky, but I nicked a few places on the face. The dome came out rather smooth overall.

One hot afternoon

18.02.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Razor: Gillette – Slim Adjustable
  • Blade: Rockwell Razor Blade
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Kaizen
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block (Pieces)

Being a fairly warm day, the hottest in over 12 months. The psoriasis and eczema that I have have has flared up somewhat, not sure whether it is diet and weather related. But a shave is needed to make treatment easier.

So a full head and face shave with a combination of the Rockwell and Gillette Slim razors. However with a first use of the Rockwell blades that came with the razor. While there were no nicks or cuts as as result of the shave, it didn’t feel as efficient as using my goto Feather blades.

A new week

11.02.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming – Cuir et Epices
  • Post-shave: Declaration Grooming – Cuir et Epices

A very uneventful shave. Just the head with a second use blade. Rather than pushing on and finishing off my Kaizen tub, I thought I’d mix it up again on this hot day before heading out for a bit into the heat.
