Yowza, that stinks.
I haven’t read Mantics article so I might be undated when I say this though I admire his efforts to bring advice and guidance to less experienced practioners in DE shaving.
I do think that giving or offering advice however should either be proven in fact, or an attempt made to achieve fairness and equilibrium in the discussion.
Otherwise it’s just a case of I’m my opinion for what’s is worth, this is the case, however you are welcome to feel differently and hold different opinions

I had pretty much the same experience with the Rockwell 6S, but not because of Mantic. When it came out people in every shaving forum or group were like - ''omigosh that's the best razor evah''. Back then I remember the Timeless razor was starting to gain popularity and I was very gullible and almost pulled the trigger, but instead I decided to get the Rockwell 6S. I mean, it has 6 settings, it cost me (I think) 90$ with the discount plus free shipping and people like it, what could possibly go wrong, right?
Oh boy was I wrong! I couldn't get even DFS in some areas no matter which blade, angle, plate, pressure I try and after countless attempts and hopes for it to become my favorite razor, I just gave up and sold it.
Not counting all the Chinese razors that i've bought (Ming Shi 2000S, Yaqi Mellon and Yaqi SE Katana), the Rockwell 6S was the worst razor i've ever bought, but thankfully I managed to get most of my money.
Since then i've learned my lesson and I've met a few people which have similar to my skin and beard and I trust them to some extend about blades and razors. I'm sure the Rockwell 6S works fine for people who shave daily and don't care much about BBS/DFS or those with soft and not very dense whiskers, but it definitely didn't work for me.
As a bass player, I am a Fodera man myself... and IPAs, but you get my point.
I was a BIG fan of hazy IPAs prior to the discovery of Celiac disease!

I’ve yet to meet a hazy or NE Style IPA I didn’t like. I don’t care how trendy they’ve become, I absolutely LOVE them.
I think you meant to say ‘There is no good answer.’
Ulcerative colitis cured my IPA habit. Now I have this hobby now and its in the bathroom so that worked out.
True story time: I was in Milwaukee on business with a colleague and had the opportunity to take the Miller brewery tour, with some additional behind-the-scenes added because we supplied the industrial controls that ran the brewery (that probably tells you who I worked for at the time). We got to the end of the tour and got our samples from the brewmaster. The last beer he gave the tour group, he refused to tell us what it was other than it was his favorite lager to brew. It was a beautiful light golden color, served perfectly chilled, and tasted clean, crisp, refreshing, with malt playing delicately with hops on the tongue; in short, an amazing lager. After we finished drinking it and expressed our delight, he told us, "You've just had Miller Lite the way it was meant to be drunk, fresh from lagering." Turns out that Miller Lite is difficult to brew correctly and really doesn't have a long shelf life at all because of the recipe, so most people have never had the opportunity to experience the beer the way the brewer intended.The correct answer is Miller Liteor PBR
TL;DR: Don't take someone else's word about a product. Weigh their opinion appropriately and then see for yourself. Works in beer, shaving, and life.
I am Miller Lite fan, especially during baseball season. Probably will have some in my casket to keep me company. I will have to do a brewery tour to try some fresh from the source. Thanks!
Well in this case it worked out for me i bought the genesis and the futul about the same time using the genesis as a springboard. And knowing I needed to learn proper de shaving.
But after some time the core came out which is plastic but shaves better in my case. And the broman pretty much sealed the genesis fate. Why keep a 200 euro wallhanger?
All the time I kept the futul and liked it for that bbs. The snmirn is an evolution futul and it shaves better.

Most overrated most professional shaving reviews they are however a starting point
Most underrated boards like these with real users and definitely your own mileage which makes the day

R41 overrated? it's one of those razors that have a cult-like following! Mantic is drinking his own kool-aid
Damn it Bones, you're a doctor, not a pontificator!I’m sure we can all agree that the veg is the world’s worst aftershave and any other aftershave on the planet would be an acceptable alternative
I'm a-thinkin' you done drunk the Kool-Aid afore you writ this here codswallop!
The Veg is the world's greatest after-shave...bar none! If it was good enough for Napoleon and his lot, it's good enough for the likes of you and me!
GOD SAVE THE VEG!
Literally anything else when it comes to beer.
Kidding I’m not a beer snob, just giving you the business.
By the way Stan the man is here somewhere...

Yeah, they look great and the ones i've tried shave nice, but my Slim and Super Adjustable 109 can do pretty much the same on the proper settings. But i'd rather spend 60$ on a British Aristocrat in good/great condition than on a beaten up Fatboy any day of the week.
