Thank you,Joe...My birthday isn't actually until tomorrow,but i'm celebrating it today with family & friends.
June 6th Razor: RR Rocnel Sailor 2021 Blade: Feather NHS (1) Brush: Grizzly Bay Biblical/TnS gelled boar Pre-shave: PAA Cube Soap: A&E Asian Plum PAA Galactic Witch Hazel PAA Star Jelly AS: A&E Asian Plum Good morning! 2021 Rocnel Sailor. Work of art. Two piece razor. The topcap is removed by unscrewing the adjustment knob. The handle is just shy of three inches according to the specs. Three fingers and a pinkie supporting the razor from the bottom and the handle all but dissappears. It felt perfectly natural to me. The adjustment knob is marked • I II III IV V. It can be fine tuned anywhere between each setting and go a couple of turns beyond the max setting should the need arise. I decided to try it out at the •, the lowest setting. I found the angle to be intuitive and even at the lowest setting there was some wiggle room. The angle didn't have to be spot on. Super smooth shave. I did my usual three passes. I do feel a bit of sandpaper under my chin which I attribute to user error. Just the lightest tickle from the alum on my neck. Excellent first shave. Tomorrow I'll dial it up to I and continue up the ladder as I get to know the razor. Have a great day! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
@jluc Oops, I just went to the website. more chocolate and potato chips please...... ...... keep them coming till I say stop.
I believe in celebrating the entire birthday month! Have a great birthday celebration today! I am June 16th.
Great maiden shave with your new Rochel, Jim! Since it is a Sailor, maybe I should have said maiden voyage. Now, if you had a Symbad to go along with the razor, than it would be a "naughty-cal" (in a good way, like saying something is so bad) shave.
Thanks, Joe! I do have a couple of brushes with Synbad knots. I'll get them into the rotation during my Sailor run. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
June 6, 2020 Supply Co SE V2 ●● Schick Proline MrEE LE #004 with Maggard SHD The Dead Sea Shave Soap & Aftershave I decided an outing with an SE razor was past due. The Supply Co SE was an easy call. @jluc Jim mentioned B&M Terrorade a few days back and I decided to follow his suggestion and put it out on the counter. Anything worth doing is worth over doing, so I used PAA CHEL preshave cooling agent. My face was very cold by the time I finished loading the brush. I then went with a full dropper of B&M Terrorade into the brush. Oh my the chill was fantastic. Using synthetic cooling agents did not add a menthol scent to the intoxicating aroma of "The Dead Sea". I absolutely love this scent. Three passes and touch ups ended an automatic drama free BBS shave. I squeezed out the remaining lather and rubbed in on my face allowing the freeze to continue while I policed up the area. After rinsing I decided to add 2 droppers of Terrorade to "The Dead Sea" splash. My face is still wonderfully cold. I even got an unsolicited positive comment from the wife. That is a complete win in my book. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
Beautiful shave and picture, Clint. Love the Chill Overkill! I didn't take my own advice. I forgot to put the Terrorade on the counter so of course I forgot to use it. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk
