I just purchased a Rockwell 6C. Started using it with a Polisilver blade with plate 3. Nice shave, but had a thin stubble, I only did one pass. I researched the B&B forums and found that some people found increasing or decreasing the plate number for subsequent passes provided a fun and nice shave. On my next shave two days later, I used plate 3 again wtg, but this time I used plate 2 for xtg and atg. I got BBS with almost no irritation. Great shave.
It got me thinking, now that I have all these plates, how about using different plates for different blades. I checked the forum and found no discussion on adjustable razor settings with different blades.
I am thinking that it might be fun to use a Feather on a milder plate and use a smoother blade like a Derby on a more aggressive plate (I don't like Derby, and am hoping this might help).
Has anyone tried this and do you find it better or worse when you use the same blade in a non adjustable?
