The perfect razor for me. Pairs great with a Clifton Classic blade. Two passes with the grain. No pressure and minimal stretching on the first pass. Light, skillful pressure and a bit more stretching on the second pass. Luxurious shaving experience. I love the white chrome finish. I like this razor better than the Parker 22R. The Rockwell R1 is milder, is chrome-plated rather than nickel-plated, and has no blade overhang on the sides.

I like blue bird a bit better however not enough to splurge on them exclusively. granted im still hunting for a good next razor probably going to grab an agustus emperor off vikings blades and a muhle next time I invest in new razors. heck I'll probably get a kit from Phoenix artisans accoutrements as well .brush soap razor aftershave and blades for 40$ its not a bad deal. Never bad to have a few choices. The round after that maybe a razorine and shavette.

You ever tried to shave without shaving cream? I have been doing it over 40 years with no razor burn. The trick is to let the skin get used to it. It gives a closer slip free shave because the razor makes better contact with the skin. Most of the time people cut themselves because you to miss your shaving angle because of poor contact with the skin because it's slippery. I just rinse the razor in water while I'm using it and dry the water on a towel before my next swipe. You Don't want anything slippery on your face. Give it two weeks. You could not pay me to use the stuff again.
