A bit smaller than the bowl I've been using but plenty of room for the brush to move around and the dimpled surface helps generate lather . . which stays in place. A bonus is that by leaving the bowl floating in the basin the hot water keeps the lather pleasantly warm
Fairly light, nice textures on the handle to prevent slipping with wet hands. Tightening mechanism for blade is very nice, much better than others. Definitely the nicest razor I’ve ever used. Takes a bit of practice to use, but once you’ve mastered the art, the shave is very close and comfortable
I wanted a reasonably priced SE razor and they seemed to be very hard to find in the UK. I sent Jay an email as they always seemed out of stock so when he got one he let me know so I could get it.
The only unfortunate thing was they were out of stock of the blades so I had to wait a while to try the razor.
I wanted something to get through a weeks worth of growth, DE are OK but seem to struggle hence looking for a reasonably priced SE razor.
As it is my first time I went for Feather ProGuard blades and it worked well. I cannot say about the closeness as I use this to get the growth off and then use a cartridge to finish off.
It is a bit lighter than I am used to but I am sure I will get used to it.
Being on blood thinners the last thing I want is a load of nicks and so far I have virtually none and way better than I would have had with the razor I am used to.
Very pleased only started double edge razor at Christmas first razor no good the Rockwell 6c is brilliant being adjustable as I have sensitive skin no cuts at all
Quick to lather and a very classic scent.
Lovely bit of kit. Easy to use, no nicks even with the medium. One pass will give an acceptable shave. Two or three needed for "baby face", but no plastic and blades are about 50 p each compared with 4 to 5 times that for multi-blade cartridges. You also get much finer control and trimming.
Gorgeous bit of kit, thank you!
