My Rockwell 6C and Rockwell blades are mainly what I shave my head with. I do three passes, one with the grain, one across, one against. I switch plates each pass and go 5 3 2. Excellent results every time. The key for me switch into a de blade is the section off the head, it makes it so much easier. Great video, first time viewer. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care my friend 💈🇨🇦

Hey, thanks for stopping by my guy! 🙌🏻 Agreed the Rockwell for the head is great and it sounds like you have your system down pat! I am mainly enjoying the Leaf as it is much faster and easier to use but from time to time I’ll do my head with a DE. I always do around the ears with a DE no matter what. You know I don’t think I’ve tried the Rockwell blades yet, I’ll have to pull them out and give ‘em a go. Have a great day bud! 🤙🏻

@@KnifeCrazzzzy learning a lot from your videos how do u keep the angle using shorter strokes thanks for the advice
@KnifeCrazzzzy9 ай бұрын
@@terrellking4174 It’s intuitive after you build the muscle memory. But if you’re just starting off what you do is you roll into it. So start at a safe angle higher up on the top cap of the razor, then slowly roll down as your using a down stroke. Very light pressure at first. You will feel it catch the hair. But it really only takes 5-10 shaves with a razor before getting to automatically know how it works I’d say. Once you get good it’s easy.

Barbasol can be good but as for "not slick enough", the foam really needs more water which can be added to the lather on the face or into the brush and brought to the face; then Barbasol works better.

In my experience adding water to Barbasol just thins it out and deflates it.

I’m so glad it helped! 👊🏻 Thank you for the comment. I will do this anywhere from 1-3 times a week. If I’m lazy I’ll just do it once a week on Sundays lol. But I know guys who don’t mind shaving everyday like this. It won’t hurt anything. I use to do it every day myself. Just depends on your level of hair growth and if you want a completely clean smooth head or if you don’t mind a little fuzzy.

For most of these razors that is true but there are a few newer models that have a angle range(harsh to mild depending on the tilt) and arnt intuitive like most of them. But generally you are correct for this style.
