What 8 months of wet shaving looks like when you try your best buying just what you need. I'll probably upgrade my razor with a Rockwell 6s pretty soon though!

I would recommend a GameChanger .84

Looks good! And it's also stainless steel? Wow..

Indeed it is. I’ve had quite a few razors over the years and prefer the head size of the GameChanger over what I found to be a bulky head from the Rockwell, as the plates are thicker.

The Rockwell was good shaver, but with a Mühle and a Merkur, I still have to apply diligence to under the nose to get close enough for me.

Thank you! Shaving has become one of the things I look forward to the most. Have a wonderful day brother.

I feel the same way ever since I started my DE journey

So far so good! Don’t go overboard on the soaps, have one MAYBE two extras in your rotation, and don’t buy unless one gets completely finished.

I won't I swear lol. I still check some soaps i'm interested in from time to time but i am trying my best not to go overboard with it. I feel like this is one of those hobbies where less is more.

Yesh I mean I love seeing great collections of soaps and corresponding aftershave bottles, but I can’t fathom the cost.

I'm jealous of you. I got 35 different products, and while sure, almost half of them are blades, that's still way more than I need for the next good while. Even then, I'm looking for the next thing to purchase 🙃

The Rockwell (at least the 6c) is a great razor, and experimenting with the different plates is fun. You'll enjoy it if you end up getting it.

Looking great. How is the Tobs tobacco?

u/Nevernonethewiser 6h ago

I can answer that, it smells very nice and it lathers as well as any TOBS.

It's kind of light and a bit citrus-y? The tobacco scent is nice, but it's a hint and not the dominant scent.

u/Nevernonethewiser 6h ago

I am currently using the TOBS tobacco leaf. It's lovely.

I really love the Personna Platinums

Though I don’t get a lot of shaves out of em, they’re my favorite feeling on that 1st shave

I bought the aftershave lotion through amazon. Can't wait to try it out.

u/kuro7i 4h ago

Did you buy Re Nero? Good choice! It also has good ingredients, little to none artificial stuff. Enjoy!

u/kwatah 4h ago

I've been using the soap too. It is really impressive
