Agreed on all points apart from the blade. I tried Lords and Sharks and struggled. Switched to Gillette 7 o'clocks and Derby and it worked well. I was going to move it on, but actually PIFd another one and keot the L6 in the end!I purchased the Lord L6 on a whim. What a wonderful shaver, even the lightweight aluminium handle seems to just work with this razor.
With its Merkur type head design, I found it to be a medium efficient shaver, smooth and comfortable. The blade aligns spot on, the chrome finish, whilst not great is certainly no worse than Merkur's.
The love for this razor is justly deserved; paired with a Lord Asco Orange blade and a Arko shaving stick it illustrates beautifully you do not need to spend big to get a wonderful luxurious shave. The Lord L6 now has a well deserved place in my razor rotation.
Today, if I was recommending kit to a new shaver, I would say purchase a Lord L6, a selection of Lord blades, a stick of Arko and Derby shaving soap and any Omega boar brush that takes your fancy or a Simpson Trafalgar synthetic brush and enjoy wonderful, luxuriant shaves for not very much.
The razor cost me less than £5 delivered from La Barberia! my best purchase so far in 2021.

You have ALMOST got it right. I use Palmers Unscented as an aftershave Moisturiser. Cheap as chips and effectiveSo to get a full "recent TSR post enabled" shave setup, what after shave do I need to add to my L6 razor, Derby soap stick and Dorco Titan blade setup
Lidl aftershave and aftershave balm @ £2.99 is a steal tbhSo to get a full "recent TSR post enabled" shave setup, what after shave do I need to add to my L6 razor, Derby soap stick and Dorco Titan blade setup
+1 ...there colognes aren't too shabby either...Lidl aftershave and aftershave balm @ £2.99 is a steal tbh
Yea @ a fiver each can't go wrong,+1 ...there colognes aren't too shabby either...
I just looked at the L125 and it is identical to the L6. Agreed it is a wonderful head shaver; the handle just works but looks like it will not!...I have The L125.....Which is wonderful for head shaving.
Agree well made, only fault cast marks not fettled off either side of the head, visual doesn't effect the shave, similar shave to a Gillette Tech.Hmmm ... not on mine. In fact, the baseplate is surprisingly thick ... hence me wondering just exacly how it compares to the late Techs. Pretty damn close side by side. I got mine from RBC.
