Question for Safety Razor Users

[dmclone]

For you and others - Don't be afraid to try more brands & types of blades. It seems like it's tough to go off of someone else's experience with a blade because everyone's skin & hair combo is different. They're so cheap and interchangeable, trying a bunch out is easy.

This right here. When I first started out, I bought a combo pack like this

I ended up sticking with Feather but the Gillete 7'0clock were also good and seemed to stay sharper longer. Now I just buy a 100ct. of Feathers for around $30 and that will last me around two years if I swap it out weekly. This is similar in price to 15 Mach 3 cartridge's but the M3's do last longer. What I've found is that I spend roughly 1/3 the price for safety razors, I get a closer shave, but I have to be more careful(especially on your head).

Had a Henson Ti22 for years. The thread finally wore out where the head wouldn't sit tight.
Now own two Hensons AL13. One for home, one permanently in travel bag. They are way way lighter than the Ti. The shave is the exact same.

Henson is by far better than any Parker, Merkur, etc that I've ever owned.

Can't speak for the 6C, but I've been using the Rockwell 6S for 5-6 years now and it's been excellent. Rockwell's quality is excellent all around.
