My daily shave is a Rockwell 6S, plate 6 with a feather blade and a three pass shave as described above. Great shave, no irritation, no nicks and I do it every day.

He's been using a Slim set at '2' (mild), '6' (medium), and '9' (aggressive). Things seemed to be running along fine until he got to the Personna Red and its supermarket generic equivalent. With the the Personna blades, the Slim was almost ineffective at '2', but worked well at the other settings. Subsequent retests with two variants of the Tech, the 60's SuperSpeed, and a Weishi (all mild razors) produced very good results from the blade.<br /><br />This has led us to believe that something about the Slim at a setting of '2' is incompatible with certain blades. We've not been able to isolate a cause, however.<br /><br />Keep up the blog as I definitely have learned some thing from reading it.jruschmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460735602540719515noreply@blogger.com
