Another wonderful shave with the Rockwell on plate six, you never feel like you could mess up with this razor, nice bit of kit although a plate 7/8 would be nice to see but plate 6 is just right for everyday shaving, for me.
The soap......well it's SV. Say no more! A really enjoyable shave that left me clean shaven to my normal super smooth standards.
I would recommend this razor in a heart beat.

Have a blessed day.......:)

What an excellent way to start my birthday! These Heljestrand blades treated me wonderfully and gave me a close, smooth uneventful shave with ease. I was a bit cautious on the first pass, but on the second and last pass I was more confident and I could navigate the face with ease. A commentary on the feel of these blades: love it! It's always present the blade, it's the razor that I own where the blade feel is very, very present, but as it is very sharp the experience was smooth nonetheless. Even more so than with a modern GEM razor that I tried last shave.

The B&M Bay Rum was the first Bay Rum that I tried and i fell in love with it as soon as I opened the can. A very spicy, hot and pungent fragrance, that stayed for the whole duration of the shave. Very easy to lather, a dense, slick and hydrated lather galore! Top quality.

My compliments to each and everyone of you, and wish you a day at least as good as mine!
