Hi,
so finally took the plunge, and tomorrow will be my first DE Wet Shave.
Like all noobs to anything I have undoubtedly got kit way above my needs, but would appreciate advice on how to set it up.
I have a Rockwell 6S (because it looks good quality and allows me to adjust the aggression), so what plate should I start with?
I’m thinking 1 or 2, just to get the hang of it?
Next what blade?
I probably unwisely chose too sharp, but again, I was swayed by online consensus that these are all good quality.
Feather (scary)
Nacet (semi-scary)
Personna Platinum (will it be sharp enough on a low 6S plate)
As additional info, I’ve shaved for 40+ years using cartridge razors, and have medium to coarse beard hair, and not particularly sensitive skin.
I’ll also be using Proraso pre-shave and Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic Shave cream.
Thanks for any/all advice.
