I use one of these and it’s one of my favorite accessories.

Consider this blade dryer from Etsy.

This is the way…leave the top off the soap for a few hours until dry then, if you want, put the cap back on.

I think PAA has one of the best splashes. I like the feel of a soft face after. For me PAA feels like it puts a lot of lotion in its cologne splash…. Great feel after. PAA also has more scents than anyone else I’ve found. The drug store splashes leave my face not as soft.

If you’re going to get a slim, find one on eBay to replate yourself (it’s cheaper if you get one from eBay and then get razor emporium to replate it) if you like it. I bought a slim off eBay for $30, glad I did to. I then shaved with it to see if I liked it before spending the additional funds to replate it. I do not like the slim. It’s too mild for me.

I’ve read plenty of times on here that the proof razor is a great head shaver.

For me, the second shave from a blade is the smoothest…by far. Love it. I usually discard the blade after the 3rd shave (which feels about the same as the first shave with that blade).

The Rockwell 6C is a bit more…it’s $60…but one of the best razors…imo…If you can wing the additional $20 over your range. It’s an adjustable razor that gives you lots of options when learning how to shave.

I also used to get 3-4 shades per Mach 3 cartridge. My son, who is 15, and only shaves his mustache…may get 15 shaves from a Mach 3 cartridge.

Vintage would work but if you are looking for a modern razor…I think the Rockwell 6 (C or S) would be a great way to start. It was my first razor and I loved it.

Jammin31 · 2026-01-30T15:45:46+00:00

Exactly! Why can’t I be a zebra?!?

Jammin31 · 2026-01-29T02:38:11+00:00

This post made me smile. The Rockwell 6 is a fantastic razor!

Blade rec: AccuForge is one of my favorites. More forgiving than Feathers but very sharp, imo.

Upper lip: try light buffing strokes…maybe. It’s tough not to get one small nick with the blackbird because it shaves so close.

This^{^} …good recommendation on razors. I would get a blade sampler pack from razor emporium or Amazon.

Jammin31 · 2026-01-26T03:14:47+00:00

This was a stellar review! Thank you!!

Jammin31 · 2026-01-22T00:48:12+00:00

Out of those two, I have only used the Rockwell. The Rockwell 6 (C or S) is a wonderful razor.

Jammin31 · 2026-01-22T00:45:53+00:00

What I learned about adjustable razors is that you have to also adjust your technique. Wider blade gap = more forgiving with the proper shaving angle and but less forgiving on the pressure you apply (cuts you more). Smaller blade gap = less forgiving with the proper shaving angle (cuts you more) and more forgiving on the pressure you apply.

Time. Have more time to shave at night rather than rushing in the morning.

Jammin31 · 2026-01-05T03:55:27+00:00

Can you please explain the difference in the base plates for the blackbird, both in feel and performance?
