I’ve been really enjoying the Rockwell 6C in Gunmetal. It’s super easy to shave with, it feels almost effortless. The weight and balance are spot on, and it just glides over the skin without any irritation.
I was using the Henson AL13-M before this, which is a great razor and really helped me get used to the right shaving angle.
Loving it!
As someone, who often rushes his shaving, I can look like a victim from a Tobe Hooper film. I've tried several anti-bleed bars and sticks and I like this gel. I'm not saying this doesn't leave some white residue, (fnarr), but if you use it sparingly you won't get that weird crusty look you get with other styptics. Recommended.
Bought the stand to compliment the Ivory Silvertip brush and R89 Grande razor I also treated myself too. An excellent set that looks as good as it performs. Nice, weighty stand that will not tip over like my previous one, and it looks showroom-ready in the bathroom cabinet. A real touch of class in looks and performance
I've had the Henson for a few years now, but was looking for something with a bit more oomph. This razor certainly fits the bill, lovely feel in the hand, weighty but not heavy, this is now my go to razor, it looks exceptional too, especially in the Muhle stand I got at the same time
Had to buy a replacement for my first brush, the black one, and couldn't go past the same brush in the ivory colour. Lovely and smooth and creates an excellent lather, looks very smart too.
Does the job, smells pretty good as long as you like woods-y kinda odours. I'd say it does take a couple washes to get used to, like any other shampoo, but seems to clean well.
Both me and my wife like the smell, good value for cost; of course it's not tip top quality but at the price you wouldn't expect it. Seems like it will last a long time (:
I bought this on clearance so I wasn't expecting too much but I thought I should let others know that the comb teeth have 'ridges' left from the plastic moulding process, so they aren't fully smooth around. This means that they will tear the sides of your hair and can ultimately lead to spilt ends; this is fine if you've got shorter hair/beard and trim, but if you've got longer hair I can't fully recommend it.
For a novice using a fixed-blade shaver, the Henson has been very forgiving. The build quality is incredible and simple to use. Price is a little on the high side, but it is a quality product and worth it. I'm really happy to reduce the waste from mainstream multi-blade razors. This razor will pay for itself in no time. The shave is very close, I love it.
Soaps from Saponificio Varesino have for me always been top performing. I have tried this with Boar,Badger and Synthetic brushes and all produce copiuous amounts of dense lather that is very slick.
My gold standard is the Dovo Super on a Henson AL13 (mild exposure). These Shark blades come at an incredibly low price. Given that you won’t get quite as many shaves out of a Shark (three for me), realistically it’s roughly 2/3 of the price of the leaders. This comes at the expense of sharpness. No special coatings on a Shark blade, so it tugs and it needs a second pass—although, crucially: no irritation or nicks. If you don’t need an ultra-sharp blade then go for it! It’s all upside.
This pre-shave really does a great job of moisturizing and preparing your skin for a close shave. Scent is uniqueoy spicy but not too in your face, allowing your soaps fragrance to shine.
I have always been a fan of TOBS products so my expectations of this one was high. It still blew me out of the waters how good it was. Gave me one of my smoothest shaves to date. Lathered easy, typical of TOBS, and the smell is great. Highly recommend for those with sensitive skin.
Wow, love this aftershave cream. I'm a firm believer that you must moisturize your skin after shaving as that razor blade scraping across your face is removing skin and causing damage. I always use a balm, aftershave not so much. This cream with its menthol and mint aroma is fantastic to apply and smell. Easy to apply, just a pea size amount spread onto the finger tips and rubbed onto the face. If you have residual amount that doesn't absorb, then you have used to much. Simply wipe excess with a clean towel. Really refreshing and the large tub will last many, many shaves.
Awesome piece of plastic that fits my Muhle R89 perfectly tight to protect the head and blade from being damaged or cutting someone.
Awesome talcum powder for applying on the back of the neck after shaving. I like to use it down below, front and rear after a shower too. Help keep things dry and smelling fantastic.
Great aftershave with that traditional Barber shop scent. Large bottle will last a long time and at a great price.
I m glad I purchased Truefitt & Hill no.10
I am looking forward to trying more of this Brands. Thank you Ellen & Frank.
