    Bin the Rockwell blade that came with the razor. They are crap, rough and tuggy. Go with a blade you like. The Rockwell is an incredibly smooth razor on all plates. I’m sure you’ll find a big difference with a good blade.

    Finished.!!

    Finally seen off my Proraso Red cream. The current formula is an excellent performer at this price point. I will buy again in the future, but probably in the croap variety. I will not to be replacing any soaps or creams for a while, until I get through more of my pile. One slight criticism of...

    Should have read your subsequent messages. Glad you got it sorted. I also didn’t reorder in case the same thing happened, and judging by your experience it seems to be a common occurrence.

    I had the exact same issue with exactly the same order. Ordered 1x4, only one pack arrived. Get on to Amazon customer service. They were very good. Full refund was issued and they let me keep the pack of injectors.
