'Official' Rockwell 6C Arrived Today-Superbacker Packaging

Fellow Canadian here.  My Razor left Melrose Park, IL on May 12th and arrived in Frankfurt on May 17th.  It has been in Germany ever since.  I email DHL this morning.  Still waiting for a reply.  I'm not impressed!

Funny Melrose Park, Illinois is suburban town next to me like 7-10 mins. What's doing in Illinois? is it Rockwell made in Canada or ???

I believe the 6 S was made in the USA as well. By the way, my 2 c has now been stuck in Germany for 8 days and counting.

Same story with my shipment, it's somewhere in Germany. Do you think Trudeau could bring it back from Europe for me?

Only a Canadian would make this statement.

That's sucks dude I know how that feel. I order PAA soap others stuff like 3 days ago and it's in Orlando, FL not Illinois

Trudeau came through for me. My razor was delivered today by Canada Post.

Mine might have been delivered but I won't know until I go up to the post office and pay $12.40 customs fees. Now to be fair this might be related to a couple of tubs of Route 66 soap I ordered a few weeks back and if thats the case, the DHL tracking shows my razor still in Frankfurt. So not impressed. Might be a Canadian company but obviously they're smart enough to know that the US market gets served and the rest of us can just..... wait. Did I mention I'm not impressed?

Oh oh. The first "bad" shave was today. Well, not horrid, just not a great post shave feel. I used a new Gillette Silver Blue and the R4 base plate. By the final passes on my neck, I noted a couple of nicks. And tingling at the rinse.  It has been a while since I felt like this, and I had to think on it. As I recalled, the GSB can give a "rough" first shave in my experience, except for my Tech. The GSB shines in the Tech.  For my other razors, I "strop" the new GSB on a face cloth a few times. I didn't today. Previously, all shaves with the Rockwell had been my favorite blade, the Red Personna blade.  I am hoping tomorrow goes better. But that is the fun, right, with a new razor? You have to try out blades in it too see which of your steel works best in the razor.

Still waiting for my razor to leave Germany. I sent an email to DHL. It's been several days and they have yet to respond. After enjoying my Rockwell 6 S for over a year and singing its praises, I now have a negative association with the Rockwell brand.

It just proves the old saying that "no good deed goes unpunished"! Rockwell decides to pay extra $$ to speed up delivery and then DHL totally screws up.

I'm not sure they paid "extra" for DHL delivery. I think they went with the cheapest option ... and got what they paid for!
