Birthday SOTD:

If you get a new razor you have to use it 😀

Rockwell 6s
Shark stainless
B&M Seville soap and splash
Yaqi Snow Leopard synth.

First shave with the brand new big boy razor Rockwell 6s = a 4 pass monster shave.

Wtg on base 1 to play it safe felt like there was no blade in the razor at all.

Kicked it up to base 3 and did a three pass shave for a DFS. At no point did I feel like I was overdoing the shave. Zero nicks or cuts. This razor just oozes reliability.

Coupled with the fantastic Seville resulted in the lowest irritation I've ever had for a 3 pass, let alone 4 pass shave.

Fantastic razor, the shaves are going to be stepped up a notch from here on.

Happy Birthday! Always nice to have a great shave on your Birthday. Well done.
 
Karve C plate w/Polsilver
Yaqi barber pole synthetic
Pbgoose The GreenMac
Gaia ASB

The C plate is ultra smooth but not efficient enough for me as the post shave shadow was still dark for my liking.
Back to the D plate tomorrow.
