Rockwell Blades

The last thing I needed was more blades, but after reading through the thread here I found myself ordering 100.  Thanks guys, thanks a lot for feeding my addiction!

Why on Earth would you buy 100 of a blade that you have never tried before, especially one such as this with such mixed reviews? That's like buying a house for a woman before even the first date!  


This is far better:

WOW 75 cents for a polsilver lol? I get that if you are trying them out, but if you like them here is the place to get them.

 show me some $10 houses and I'd likely buy those too!

I have bought blades in bulk without trying them also, if the price is right. When we are talking about a few dollars, not like it matters much. Blades are always good trade items, add ons to BST listings, PIF's etc...

I had never tried an ATT or a Simpson etc.... when I bought my first one of them either.

Yeah, I also typically throw various blades into starter kits, etc. If you don't like, pretty inexpensive party favors.

Tried my first lade last night in my 37c. I didnt like it. The 37c is a sweetheart with a regular Personna blue but thie rockwell was just way to tuggy. I am going to have to try it in a a different razor before I condemn them. Definitly stiffer though.

This was my experience. Stiff, of decent quality, but not nearly sharp enough which leads to tugging and a lack of smoothness. I had trouble achieving BBS with the same routine as my Feathers, Astras, and Personnas.

If these were sharper I'd stock up on them, but as of now they are far too blunt for my taste.

Tried them with my Maggard V3A head and MR5 and had the same experience just now. Stiffer, but it was not a comfortable shave by any means. I'll try it again, but I have been through enough blades to know it will probably be the same.

I've tried them in several razors, iKon 101 & 102, Futur, Mühle R89, and some old Gillettes.  I really wanted to like them, but like others have said, they are not sharp enough...

For all those that tried the Rockwell blades and didn't like them, IDK why the first shave the seem tugging a bit, but 2nd shave all goes as it should. Its weird but the first shave don't feel comfortable.

Hmm, I'm fine with the first shave from a Feather not being a good as the second, but I don't think I'm willing to go through an uncomfortable shave to get a better one next time. I'll still add a few to my next order, though.
