Second shave with the new blue Rockwell 6S. Went with the number 4 plate and a new Gillete Nacet blade. Used the Mach 5 for tricky spots and 4th pass on the head to get it bbs. Truefitt and Hill facial cleanser, preshave, 1805 shave cream and post shave balm, Thayers lavendar tone spray, Sung aftershave, a alum block and a Thaeter two band brush in Wine Red. I do 4 passes on the face and 5 on the head with steamed towels...........total time is a little less than 90 minutes. No cuts and very little razor burn. I'd score it a 90. The Rockwell S? So far I am flippin' loving the thing. I wish it was a little longer in the handle but the shaves.....one on 3 and one on 4...........have been very very nice. I think if they made a chrome finished 6S I'd get one of them too.

Razor - King C Gillette Safety Razor
Blade - Personna Red (Israeli Red)
Soap - Venture by Captain's Choice
Brush - Yaqi Moka Synthetic
Post - Tea Tree Witch Hazel
Moisturiser - HA Serum
Balm - Prorasso Green Tea and Oat

Comment: Today I did an experiment to find out if my general perception of razor blade degradation after 3 x 3 pass shaves is actually noticeable. Different blades would yield different results and I chose a mild razor because I think that any blade degradation would be more apparent.

Razor RazoRock G37 Slant
Blade Treet Platinum SS 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
The scent is outstanding for this soap. The lather is creamy and slick too.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. The last use of this blade in another razor was kinda rough so been ignoring it until now and it was very smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly BBS result. Somehow a tiny weeper occurs without reason...hahaha. Good post & aftershaves. Rating 9.8/10

Stellar shave - everything came together. The Minora is now super smooth and right up there with GSB and Gillette Platinums. It definitely feels different and better to me than the stainless version. Looking forward to shave No. 3!
