I love my Rockwell 6C and the plate adjustments. Besides getting great shaves with my go to blades (Lab blues, Permasharp, Kai,etc...), I have rediscovered blades that I left in the forget them pile.
Tonight was Derby.
Now when I started DE shaving 2 years ago, I had a sample pack with Derby included. I hated the tugging and bad shaves when I used my EJ89 with the Derby. Instead of throwing them out though, I saved them thinking as my technique improved, maybe I would like them. Well, that never happened, until tonight. One of the great benefits of an adjustable, is the ability to change the settings to match a blade's properties. Since Derbys are so dull, I tried it on plate 5. Couldn't believe the great shave, just about BBS, and practically no irritation. Now, it was a one day old beard. So I'm thinking maybe the awful Derby could be used as a daily blade on an aggressive setting. I'll see how long it lasts. Never thought I'd be thinking of using a Derby again.
