Hey everyone,
I used to post more regularly here a few years ago, but I've been in and out of the hobby since. The lockdowns and everything else last year sapped all the motivation from me to shave - particularly when you had no one to show it to anyway - so I resigned myself to basically using a cartridge razor once a week or so, just to get the annoying stubble off. Over the last few weeks I've been trying to get into wet shaving once more, and I'm enjoying the experience again, as well as the feeling afterwards of having a nice shave. I'm hoping to keep it up as I think it'll be good for my mental health. I remember this being a great community so I'm eager to contribute again.
Razor: Rockwell 6S (5)

This was last night's shave. Not too much to say, pretty smooth overall. The main experiment for me is figuring out what blade works best (again!). The Astras are very smooth but these Yellows are just a notch sharper, and I suspect it's probably the better blade for my beard. I'll keep using it in the next few shaves to see how it goes. Hope you all had a great day.
