Prep

Well I had mentioned that next up would be the Merkur 39C to further my research on the “Battle of the Slants”. However, while I was poking about the collection, I spotted the Rockwell 6C which has not graced the SOTD in a while so it was drafted immediately. With a few days growth I went with the R5 plate and loaded up with a Personna Lab Blue.

Soap of the day Barrister & Mann Seville a lovely smelling and performing soap. I could gladly use it everyday but that wouldn’t be much fun now would it? The Simpson Colonel X2L made quick work of the soap and left me with buckets of lather to play with!

Proceeded to get through a fantastic two pass near BBS shave. Wow! I have to say I don’t know why it has been left out of the rotation for as long as it has but the 6C was a very smooth and impressive shaver! It just sang along with superb audio feedback and made quick work of the beard. Fantastic all around. Midweek and starting the decent to the weekend. Enjoy the week and happy shaves all!
