I'm not going to lie, it was a great shave. The Arko Lathered super thick, super slick, and super protective. When I hit myself with the Alum there was no sting at all. A good lather and Rockwell does that. I really don't know why, but the Rockwell always gives great shaves without effort. I love all my other razors, but the Rockwell is just my favorite.

Turkish Thursday with Arko Soap in a bowl (Refilled with a crushed soap stick) and my Rockwell 6S Matte Black.

I poured the bloom water into the VdH bowl with fresh hot water to build the lather from. That lather got slick, thick, and creamy. A really nice shave, if I do say so myself.

I’m not surprised to hear you say that. I have a couple backup sticks too but at this price, it was an easy decision. I’ll be more comfortably set for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
