Affective tonality of the shave was consistent! Fear and trembling during the three pass (WTG, ATG, XTG) straight shave resulting in a very rough CCS which the Gold Rocket cleaned up and moved into BBS territory. My dome shave required three passes (WTG, ATG, ATG) to achieve velveteen victory. The Rocket razor is nowhere near as efficient as the earlier New Standard, Deluxe, and LC or my select rotation of seventeen safety razors. In any case, I feel cool, clean and velveteen, albeit with a bit more shaving effort on my part,
