I like it. It's different. So what happened to your foot? Hope you get well soon brother. Thinking about taking advantage of some of these bf deals. Which one should I go for? Rockwell or Henson?
Dave, I was thinking about you. I am so glad your foot is doing better. Continued prayers of healing. I've been through the wringer with medical issues and know what it is like to sleep (or try to) with all kinds of gadgets hooked up to yourself. Be well, Brother!
I bought a gunmetal 6C on Dave’s recommendation, as a second razor with the first being a Henson, and been using the 6C for about a month. Changing the plates is something I thought was a bit of a thing I would not do, but it is useful. Example - I flew to Melbourne for work this week and so had to use a Fusion, and my skin was irritated by that and so needed to step back from a 5 plate to a 3 plate. I drop to a 3 plate if shaving my legs (I am a cyclist). Still use the Henson if I shave at work, but the 6C is my favourite. I am diving down the rabbit hole - a T2 will be next because it reminds me of a razor my father had and it looks cool
@brianglendenning1632 awesome review. Thank you so much for your support and given the insights on how you use two different razors and are going to add a third. I agree the T2 just has a wow appeal to it and it’s one fantastic Razor as well. Again, thank you so much.
Cool atmosphere for the vid. Did the crutch and scooter thing for 2 months. Really makes you appreciate walking. Don’t overdo it and let yourself heal.
It tough to say the least, as you know. Elevating my foot 24 hours a day is quite a feet as well. Glad you like the vlogging style video. I may start doing more of them during the week
My favorites are the timeless .95 got it because of watching you. Got both open comb and scalloped base plate. The Rex ambassador, 1937 Gillette Sheraton and 1938 Gillette senators. All of these give me just a phenomenal shave. Glad you’re doing better.
Great Lineup. The .95 is my absolute favorite Razor right now. The Rexx ambassador is a great shape, but it has a lot of blade feel even on setting one. Matt likes Blade feel as I'm completely opposite. I like a neutral blade exposure.
Rockwell 6C for me. Have yet to find anything that will touch its smoothness and versatility. I also have the henson AL13 mild and i still prefer my 6C over it any day. So far out of about 12 safety razors, my 6C still remains in the #1 spot for me. Hoping i can get my hands on a vintage Gillette slim adjustable razor and a feather asd2 as well. Thanks for the content. Great as always. Get better soon man.
I had no idea you were recovering from a procedure, but I'm grateful you're doing well. I thought I'd add your videos made me very conscientious about my face -in part because of the Thayers promo in most of your vids LOL. Now I'm deep into facial cleansers and all kinds of moisturizers for my overall skin health. Would be curious to see some more of that in a future video.. That's it for the rambling. Get well soon brother!
Damn dude I didn’t know you got hurt! Glad you’re okay and recovering! I was kinda the opposite I started using shaving balm and better products while cartridge shaving because I was unnecessarily scared of DE razors! Everybody should just get a Henson and then move on from there tbh! I get a perfect shave from the mild.
Dave wishing you a speedy recovery, i didn't realize what you were going thru! Yes i like both styles of videos that you produce. As an aside I only own 7 quality shaving brushes, but i have to be honest the shaving brush I keep going back to time again is the timeless shaving brush it really rocks! Thank you all your helpful vidoes brother!
Glad to see you are recovering. Last year on the black Friday sale I got the 6C. Couldn't pass up that much savings. This year I am trying to hold out and get the Titanium Timeless. As for brushes I have three. Two of them I commonly use and one I keep for travelling with. Thanks for the video and the update.
Hello David so good to hear you are making good progress to full recovery on your leg. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Coincidentally I did a head shave an hour ago on a 4 days growth with my Rockwell 6C with an Astra SP blade, and it was a very comfortable BBS.😊. Wet shaving is worth the attention and care cos it sure delivers so well on the face and head! What you said about the improvement in skin texture is spot on👌🏽; I started getting awesome smoothness on my face and neck and people close to me noticed and commented!

Hi Dave. Hope you are healing well. Based on one of your videos I decided to try the Thorn since they were having a sale. Tried it today with about 3 days growth. Proraso preshave and Proraso shave cream and Leaf's blade. My go to is normally Ikon slant razor with Feather blade. I must say I was impressed with the Thorn's performance and feel. Much better than the Parker Solo--which I could never get a BBS even with Feather blades. Keep up the good work and get well.
I "only" own 5 shaving brushes, including the very old Gillette Brush-Plus Shaving System Brush, which I never do use. My BEST brush is the Bevel brush which you can find at some local Target stores.
Thank you for sharing your collection with us! It's always interesting to hear about different brushes and their unique stories. The Bevel brush is sold in local stores, that's awesome
Wishing you a speedy recovery, sir! I’ve already hooked up one of my friends with a razor,some blades and aftershave. About to hook another one up! Keep on, keeping on sir. 🤙
Thanks to this channel and finding out about Thayers.. omg. Toner so good.., I bought every single Thayers product that amazon carries during primeday and holy crap it's amazing! Their face cleaners are phenomenal! Their moisturizers are the bomb too! Definitely try out their other skin products other than their basic toner.
@OhioShaves my pleasure! I have 12 brushes, 6 razors (3 more from yates soon). Bout 40 shaving soaps, few aftershaves, what else? Oh yeah, just received my kickstarter titainer razor today with all the extra goodies included, and my 1st time wet shaving with my grandfathers 1966 gillette tech 3 piece razor was about 10 weeks ago and I fell in love! This was decades in the making on how I acquired wet shaving items like the razor and 30 yr old safety blades I bought when I was 16, 17 about, along with a shavette that I still have.. it was stored within the 1st stoke of the blade lol
Sorry about your foot. I hope your recovery goes smoothly. We all get a few nicks and cuts out of a safety razor, depending technique and the sharpness of the blade. The wrong angle with a brand new blade is a guaranteed weaper. I can get razor burn from pressing too hard on my neck, or from worn threads on the top cap on my 34C. I always have an extra top cap on hand for this reason. The Rockwell is such an amazing razor, next to impossible to get a bad result with it. After care for a shave is the best thing to do. My stand bys are Thayers and Nivea, either used one after the other or separately.
I’ve been using the Yates 921 with the H -Hybrid plate that has the open comb and I love it. It’s perfect for me as I shave about every 4 days or so. Open comb first pass and the normal scalloped side for the second pass. Moved from the Rockwell 6s before this and it just feels so much better to me.
Glad you are doing better! I have the mild and medium Henson, 6C, and just received the T2 today. Love them all. Three shave brushes and I'm stocking up on soaps. I know you have been busy so I completely understand, and when you have time I'd still be interested in the brand that makes the said with the truck on it that you liked. Thanks!
I have all the rockwells and they are great!! I like the sixes the best. Ive never tried henson because I know they don't have the weight I need. I do want to get a timeless just because I'm addicted to great razors so I just have to have them. Rockwells barbershop soap and after shave is the beez neez for sure. I wish they would make other scents. I bet they would be great! Great video as always Dave! Praying for your foot to be better soon 🙏
The Rockwell 6C is an inexpensive but very good quality. I have the gunmetal color which I love the color and then knurling on the handle gives a very good grip. I use it with the #6 plate. It takes a little practice getting used to it but once you do you will have smooth shaves. I also have a Merkur Futur which has the smooth chrome handle but sometimes it is tricky holding on to it but with practice it can be done. Merkur Futur has given me a few good bites before, so it takes a very gentle surgical touch.
@@OhioShaves Futur on setting #1 is way more aggressive then the 6C I think. Futur on #6 takes the word "safety" out of Safety Razor but it will give you the closest blade on skin shave. It has super deep channels and can easily cut through a beard, I made one small mistake with it though and removed a small piece of skin off my head, it's scary.
"You can steal these razors. I would highly recommend that" XD Amazing. Thank you for the update. Really nice to hear you are healing nicely. The only 2 razors I have is the Al-13 ++ and the 2c or almost 6c. Amazing razors. I've seen weird things being sold here in South Africa. Probably Chinese stuff. Only have one synthetic brush from Boendoebaard/Bundubeard.
Im a 55 yo from oz. Thanks for the videos. You've helped me get back on board after 35 years of 3 blade, 4 blade, 5 blade, 6 blade scams... My only tip for a beginner. Don't be scared of the "cheap" supermarket king gillette or similar. In oz the Hensen is pretty expensive. I bought one. Very safe and good to re learn the Double edge techniques. But im old and i found it way too mild. Half the blades i bought didn't work well in the hensen. I bought the KG for a 1/5 of the price. And get great shaves with all blades and soaps.. just my 2c. Cheers from oz
Great review. Love my Timeless razors and get a great shave from any of them and also have their great brush. Have a wonderful week and take care of that leg and foot. 👍
So glad to hear that you are progressing well in your recovery. Prayers for your continued healing. I own 2 razors, the Henson AL13+ and the Rockwell 6S. I have only 2 brushes. A synthetic one that was part of the shave kit I got with the 6S, and a fairly inexpensive natural hair brush from an Amazon vendor, which is the one I use regularly. I’m tempted to purchase the Rockwell T2 stainless steel razor. Then I think: Hey, the 6S is so awesome, why should I spend any more on razors? I’m not trying to acquire a collection for my “den”. But at the current discounted price I am struggling to not pull the trigger on a T2 SS.
Thanks for your prayers. The T2ss is one of those razors that makes your smile. I love it and the price doesn’t get any better. You won’t be disappointed
@ I’ve been going back and forth between the T2ss and the Rex Ambassador mainly because the Ambassador looks like it has a lower profile on the top cap, and I always have trouble trimming between my nose and mustache. Also the Rex is about $100+ more. But I figure it would be one and done with that purchase.
@ I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Rockwell T2SS with your link and discount code last night. Looking forward to seeing how it works out. Thanks for all of your replies and explanations. 🙏🏼
i only own 5 normal brushes and 1 travel sized been DE shaving for many years yes with everything else shaving wise i went down the rabbit hole not with Brushed though
I hope you're recovering well man. I'm on the fence for Rockwell T2, i have 6S and almost all the comments on the internet are saying 6S is a better shaver than T2 so idk if it would be worth for me. But that sale is tempting, especially the shave kit one. Too bad your code doesnt stack with the kit, it only works for individual pieces as far as i tried. 6S is still one of my favorite razors even after trying some high end razors. I tried both 6C and 6S and personally i find them pretty much equal in terms of shaving quality, getting a 6C for below 50$ is a steal.
@@OhioShaves Ikr,i'm still debating haha. I dont live in the US but i know someone who will visit my country from the US soon and i might send him the money for buying&bringing it. I'm checking out for other sales too, i'm kinda tempted for a Timeless Razor or a Rex Konsul if it goes on a black friday sale soon.
Glad things are going well David! I just picked up Razorock Lupo 58 SS. HOLY SMOKES! Smooth and efficient in the 4-5 shaves so far. If you have the opportunity to grab one, give it a try and do a review, Id love to hear what you think.
Blackland is running sales all month long. I absolutely love my Blackbird. Stared with the Lite edition, then the open comb plate then the Bronze limited edition blackbird. Think I'm gonna grab the brass blackbird plate when the Blackbird sales go live soon. Love my Rex Envoy and Sentry as well but the blackbird is my overall favorite.
@OhioShaves my mailer said 25% off but that's pretty solid considering the price. Today is the last day for the Vector sales then switches to the Blackbird series till month end. Osprey is all month as are towels. Btw man. Didn't know something happened. Wishing you a fast recovery.
in my opinion the parker semi slant razor paired with a feather blade is the best shave you can get without using a straight razor. it does take a good technique and patience to shave with that aggressive razor, but I get smoother than glass shaves every time. but if i have to shave every day, i just stick to an adjustable slim beauty like a black beauty gillette.
Great video and glad you are doing better and are healing up. I've been wet shaving since the first week of February 2014. I got tired of spending tons of money on blades. That's the only thing I've saved money on is DE blades, L.O.L. Straight razors is much bigger rabbit hole especially when you get into honing and waterstones, ouch. I agree with your recommendations and I would also recommend getting the Leaf triple bladed razor. I use only the 2 top slots and my favorite blade to use in it is the teflon coated Voskhod blades. It's a little expensive but how many DE razors do you know where you can use it like a Gillette Mach 3 with the dirt cheap DE blades.
Thanks for sharing your wet shaving journey! It sounds like you've really found your groove with the Leaf razor and Voskhod blades. It's always great to hear about practical recommendations from fellow enthusiasts!
Excellent check in video, Dave. Thanks for taking the time. So glad to hear your recovery is going well. Prayers will continue! I'm sold lately on Zingari Man's products, but one of these days, I'm going to try the Rockwell AS Balm. You were SO right on the 6C, so I expect you're right on that, as well. Any thoughts on the fact that Rockwell leaves the 6S in matte finish? Seems like it would tend to glide just a bit less easily than the 6C and its slick chrome finish. May have to get one and have Matt P polish it. Oh, and BTW, I have 6 brushes (1 boar and 5 synths). Cheers.
Thanks for your prayers. That's a great point about the matte finish. With good shaving cream, you're not gonna notice the difference. Buy what you want not what people tell you is gonna be slicker.
I really appreciate your well wishes! It’s the support from viewers like you that helps me heal faster. Did you like the flow of the video? Or was there too much movement?
@@OhioShavesI think it was great! Very informative, very useful before all the discounts coming in, so people know how to spend their bucks! I think the flow is good, maybe next time you do a comparison video like this, a chart at the end with the brand, model, price, aggresiveness options could be nice!
hoping you get a full recovery soon❤... David, will you still pick one of these up over the goodfellas smiles syntesi razor. How good or how similar can this one be against such contenders, will any of these three ones offer a little extra or similar for what the syntesi can do on its own 😊
Hey Dave! As I mentioned earlier, I am absolutely blown away at the performance and results of the Rockwell 6S I just received. Your advice on that and the Henson are spot-on! Additionally, your suggestion to invest in a decent aftershave is the cherry on top. My first aftershave was from Supply Razors… But I’ve since incorporated Thayer’s witch hazel into my collection. It’s an amazing aftershave and a steal for the price. I have 4 shaving brushes; three of which are the pearl-blue brushes from The Razor Company you suggested. Very nice, inexpensive but good brushes. I hope to convince some friends to start wet shaving with safety razors soon, and will give my extra brushes to them. Hope you continue to heal, keep putting out top-notch content…and as always…. GO BLUE!!!🔵🟡〽️
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Rockwell and the Henson! I saw the brush in the picture you text today. That blue brush is a steal. Nov. 30th is the big game
PS The very low humidity out here in Idaho is brutal on skin. And yes, the aftershave helps moisturize my face. It’s so dry out here that you could put 2-quarts of 10W-40 lotion on in the morning, and by evening you’ll be 1-quart low! I mean, my skin sometimes feels like a kettle chip it’s so dry out here! 😆
I’m using headphones and your sound seems to be coming only from right side. Are you looking over my shoulder? Yes, you do and I’m taking your advice that Rockwell 6C is smoother than AL13 M. 😅
That's great news. Rockwell makes some really good soap and aftershave combo. And there's a huge sale going on as I pointed out in this video. As for a really good stand out soap, Taylor of old Bond Street is a huge winner
It would have to be a adjustable razor because I don't shave on a schedule. I'd have to say a Rockwell because I've taken off 12 days of growth on plate six and I've also shaved every day with it as well. Just an all-around fantastic Razor. What's your favorite?
@@OhioShaves I’m new to using a safety razor. I ordered one from Temu, but it’s bad. I often suffer from razor burn. I’ve tried electric razors and the Gillette SkinGuard, but they were all unsuccessful. Would you recommend the Rockwell safety razor for all areas?The Henson razor can apparently be used for the entire body without causing cuts.Which razor irritates the skin the least and provides the cleanest shave? Thank you for your response.
@@Shiaway if you're new to safety Razors, I would highly suggest the Henson AL 13 mild. Buy Direct and Save- 🇨🇦Henson Shaving Code: OHIO_SHAVES Free 100 RK razor blades, add them to the cart and it will be discounted at checkout 🔗hensonshaving.com/
Great question. If I want more aggressive razor then the T2. Level 6 can really cut through growth and still silky smooth. No plates to change, just Run and Gun. As for the 6S, I always shave with the 6 plate on all passes with silky smooth finish. Both are killer shaves
Dave you are the man! You are my kind of dude, and I follow you because your no-nonsense talk. I am trying to figure this whole "Wet Shaving". What I am finding out I'm now counting razors! I am still early in this process. Before I started to learn I bought a Gillette 1956 TTO, why because that was the year I was born and for no other reason. Next Henson mild, then Gillette Fatboy. Why because everyone wants a fat boy. Now due to Rockwell sale a 6C and T2. HELP HELP! I don't see why keeping the Gillette's makes sense. Seems to me keeping the Henson mild and one Rockwell is what I need to do. So, either the 6C or T2. Don't know if the 6S is worth the extra $$. Thoughts?
Thanks for your support. Stainless steel is definitely worth it. I would keep them all so you can rotate through them, different tool for a different job.
@@OhioShaves Dave you're a hard charger, hang in there and "DO" as the doc tells you. I'm an old 68-year-old retired Marine and body isn't what it used to be. Can't say "ENOUGH" what you bring to us that follow you on your channel. Wish you and your family a happy Holiday season brother. Ok keep them all and rotate use, makes sense. So, I'll get the 6S and bypass the 6C. Semper Fi Shadow
I've had so many spinal surgeries and I had to use those walkers for a long time. They are worth the chips. If I could get rid of the pain now I'd feel a lot better.
@@FranktheTank319 One of these days. People get busy and I understand that. There's about three other manufacturers that I'm still waiting on products to come in. It is what it is.
@AdamWoody-q4n I think I would stay away from them, brother. The only company that makes double edge razor blades in the United States is Accu Forge, which is Accutech Accu thrive persona you name it. Probably some knock off Chinese company try and do get us Americans to buy what we think is made in the USA.
Did you like the Vlogging style of video that I did here?

We all get a few nicks and cuts out of a safety razor, depending technique and the sharpness of the blade. The wrong angle with a brand new blade is a guaranteed weaper.
I can get razor burn from pressing too hard on my neck, or from worn threads on the top cap on my 34C. I always have an extra top cap on hand for this reason.
The Rockwell is such an amazing razor, next to impossible to get a bad result with it.
After care for a shave is the best thing to do. My stand bys are Thayers and Nivea, either used one after the other or separately.
Awesome review thanks for sharing your experiences
I’ve been using the Yates 921 with the H -Hybrid plate that has the open comb and I love it. It’s perfect for me as I shave about every 4 days or so. Open comb first pass and the normal scalloped side for the second pass. Moved from the Rockwell 6s before this and it just feels so much better to me.
It makes a great Razor that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you are doing better! I have the mild and medium Henson, 6C, and just received the T2 today. Love them all. Three shave brushes and I'm stocking up on soaps. I know you have been busy so I completely understand, and when you have time I'd still be interested in the brand that makes the said with the truck on it that you liked. Thanks!
💈👍
I have all the rockwells and they are great!! I like the sixes the best. Ive never tried henson because I know they don't have the weight I need. I do want to get a timeless just because I'm addicted to great razors so I just have to have them. Rockwells barbershop soap and after shave is the beez neez for sure. I wish they would make other scents. I bet they would be great! Great video as always Dave! Praying for your foot to be better soon 🙏
Thanks for the prayers, it means a lot.
Rockwell 6S, Merkur 43c (yes 43 - like 34c with stainless cigar shape handle), Blackland Vector
Great choices! Each of those razors has its own unique charm and performance. Which one is your favorite so far?
Great vid, Dave! Just bought a T2 for $108 shipped. Thanks for the discount!! Feel better! -- The Inspector
Nice. Great buy. Thanks for your support
Great video Dave that is some great deals going on right now. I have 13 brushes but one of them is the Timeless adjustable.
Nice. Loving this hobby
Get well and Merry Christmas.
Thanks. Merry Christmas
The Rockwell 6C is an inexpensive but very good quality. I have the gunmetal color which I love the color and then knurling on the handle gives a very good grip. I use it with the #6 plate. It takes a little practice getting used to it but once you do you will have smooth shaves. I also have a Merkur Futur which has the smooth chrome handle but sometimes it is tricky holding on to it but with practice it can be done. Merkur Futur has given me a few good bites before, so it takes a very gentle surgical touch.
I love the 6C but I have a love-hate relationship with the Futur. One of the most aggressive razors I have ever used.
@@OhioShaves Futur on setting #1 is way more aggressive then the 6C I think. Futur on #6 takes the word "safety" out of Safety Razor but it will give you the closest blade on skin shave. It has super deep channels and can easily cut through a beard, I made one small mistake with it though and removed a small piece of skin off my head, it's scary.
"You can steal these razors. I would highly recommend that" XD Amazing. Thank you for the update. Really nice to hear you are healing nicely. The only 2 razors I have is the Al-13 ++ and the 2c or almost 6c. Amazing razors. I've seen weird things being sold here in South Africa. Probably Chinese stuff. Only have one synthetic brush from Boendoebaard/Bundubeard.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear about your experience with those razors. They truly are impressive tools for a close shave!
I’m definitely down a rabbit hole. With 3 weeks into wet shaving with a de razor I already have 900 razor blades.
I feel ya - it's a slippery slope!
Im a 55 yo from oz.
Thanks for the videos.
You've helped me get back on board after 35 years of 3 blade, 4 blade, 5 blade, 6 blade scams...
My only tip for a beginner.
Don't be scared of the "cheap" supermarket king gillette or similar. In oz the Hensen is pretty expensive. I bought one. Very safe and good to re learn the Double edge techniques. But im old and i found it way too mild. Half the blades i bought didn't work well in the hensen. I bought the KG for a 1/5 of the price. And get great shaves with all blades and soaps.. just my 2c.
Cheers from oz
What is Oz?
@OhioShaves Australia 🇦🇺 😁
@murrayhyde4902 Thanks
Great review. Love my Timeless razors and get a great shave from any of them and also have their great brush. Have a wonderful week and take care of that leg and foot. 👍
Yes, they’re a top tier brand for sure. Thanks for checking in my friend
So glad to hear that you are progressing well in your recovery. Prayers for your continued healing.
I own 2 razors, the Henson AL13+ and the Rockwell 6S. I have only 2 brushes. A synthetic one that was part of the shave kit I got with the 6S, and a fairly inexpensive natural hair brush from an Amazon vendor, which is the one I use regularly.
I’m tempted to purchase the Rockwell T2 stainless steel razor. Then I think: Hey, the 6S is so awesome, why should I spend any more on razors? I’m not trying to acquire a collection for my “den”. But at the current discounted price I am struggling to not pull the trigger on a T2 SS.
Thanks for your prayers. The T2ss is one of those razors that makes your smile. I love it and the price doesn’t get any better. You won’t be disappointed
@ I’ve been going back and forth between the T2ss and the Rex Ambassador mainly because the Ambassador looks like it has a lower profile on the top cap, and I always have trouble trimming between my nose and mustache. Also the Rex is about $100+ more. But I figure it would be one and done with that purchase.
Both are great razors. I shave on setting 1 on the Rex. A lot of blade feel. The T2 is a smoother shave for me
@ I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Rockwell T2SS with your link and discount code last night. Looking forward to seeing how it works out. Thanks for all of your replies and explanations. 🙏🏼
@markh1324 My man, great choice! Let us know how the shave goes. Huge sale going on right now. Glad you took advantage of it. Thanks for the support
Great video, I like the new style. Hope your recovery goes well
Thank you!Thank you much
i only own 5 normal brushes and 1 travel sized been DE shaving for many years yes with everything else shaving wise i went down the rabbit hole not with Brushed though
Nice
Dear Dave get well soon and One important point in shaving is to know how to prepare the skin before shaving .
💈👍
I just ordered the T2S. Danke! I have 2 shaving brushes.
Great buy! You'll need a 3rd soon.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery brother 👊
Much appreciated
I’ve been DE shaving for a month and I have two razors (Merkur 34C HD and a Henson) and two brushes (badger and synthetic).
Nice. Which razor and brush do you prefer or like best?
@@OhioShaves The Merkur and the Omega Badger brush.
I hope you're recovering well man. I'm on the fence for Rockwell T2, i have 6S and almost all the comments on the internet are saying 6S is a better shaver than T2 so idk if it would be worth for me. But that sale is tempting, especially the shave kit one. Too bad your code doesnt stack with the kit, it only works for individual pieces as far as i tried. 6S is still one of my favorite razors even after trying some high end razors. I tried both 6C and 6S and personally i find them pretty much equal in terms of shaving quality, getting a 6C for below 50$ is a steal.
I hear ya on the sale - it's tough to resist! The kits are already 60% off.
@@OhioShaves Ikr,i'm still debating haha. I dont live in the US but i know someone who will visit my country from the US soon and i might send him the money for buying&bringing it. I'm checking out for other sales too, i'm kinda tempted for a Timeless Razor or a Rex Konsul if it goes on a black friday sale soon.
Glad things are going well David! I just picked up Razorock Lupo 58 SS. HOLY SMOKES! Smooth and efficient in the 4-5 shaves so far. If you have the opportunity to grab one, give it a try and do a review, Id love to hear what you think.
Nice. They won’t send me a razor to review? It’s very strange to me
@OhioShaves So odd! Their loss. Its comparable to the Merica razor.... for me :)
Glad the doctor visit was positive, David!
Thanks for the support, it means a lot.
I can recommend the Yaqi Ultima Slope and the Yaqi Ghost Titanium too - they` re playing in the same league as the Rockwell razors...
Thanks for sharing. Rockwell is hard to beat
Only 15 brushe's in the den 😊
Speedy recovery Dave 🙏 🕉
Right On Brother
Blackland is running sales all month long. I absolutely love my Blackbird. Stared with the Lite edition, then the open comb plate then the Bronze limited edition blackbird. Think I'm gonna grab the brass blackbird plate when the Blackbird sales go live soon. Love my Rex Envoy and Sentry as well but the blackbird is my overall favorite.
Someone else said 30% off.
@OhioShaves my mailer said 25% off but that's pretty solid considering the price. Today is the last day for the Vector sales then switches to the Blackbird series till month end. Osprey is all month as are towels. Btw man. Didn't know something happened. Wishing you a fast recovery.
@@66racer thanks bro
Very good !! I hope you get better soon. ( Brazil )
Thanks. Appreciate it!
in my opinion the parker semi slant razor paired with a feather blade is the best shave you can get without using a straight razor. it does take a good technique and patience to shave with that aggressive razor, but I get smoother than glass shaves every time. but if i have to shave every day, i just stick to an adjustable slim beauty like a black beauty gillette.
Nice 👍
Great video and glad you are doing better and are healing up. I've been wet shaving since the first week of February 2014. I got tired of spending tons of money on blades. That's the only thing I've saved money on is DE blades, L.O.L. Straight razors is much bigger rabbit hole especially when you get into honing and waterstones, ouch. I agree with your recommendations and I would also recommend getting the Leaf triple bladed razor. I use only the 2 top slots and my favorite blade to use in it is the teflon coated Voskhod blades. It's a little expensive but how many DE razors do you know where you can use it like a Gillette Mach 3 with the dirt cheap DE blades.
Thanks for sharing your wet shaving journey! It sounds like you've really found your groove with the Leaf razor and Voskhod blades. It's always great to hear about practical recommendations from fellow enthusiasts!
Excellent check in video, Dave. Thanks for taking the time. So glad to hear your recovery is going well. Prayers will continue!
I'm sold lately on Zingari Man's products, but one of these days, I'm going to try the Rockwell AS Balm. You were SO right on the 6C, so I expect you're right on that, as well.
Any thoughts on the fact that Rockwell leaves the 6S in matte finish? Seems like it would tend to glide just a bit less easily than the 6C and its slick chrome finish. May have to get one and have Matt P polish it.
Oh, and BTW, I have 6 brushes (1 boar and 5 synths).
Cheers.
Thanks for your prayers. That's a great point about the matte finish. With good shaving cream, you're not gonna notice the difference. Buy what you want not what people tell you is gonna be slicker.
I have 5 shave brushes, but I probably have 30+ safety razors (single-edge, double-edge, etc).
Wow. Great hobby💈👍
@ Indeed, and I’ve only been at it for about 5 years (though I got my first safety razor in 2013, I only used it once or twice, back then).
Get well soon!
I really appreciate your well wishes! It’s the support from viewers like you that helps me heal faster. Did you like the flow of the video? Or was there too much movement?
@@OhioShavesI think it was great! Very informative, very useful before all the discounts coming in, so people know how to spend their bucks! I think the flow is good, maybe next time you do a comparison video like this, a chart at the end with the brand, model, price, aggresiveness options could be nice!
@@andraskiss8958 that's a great idea. Thanks for your input. Greatly appreciated.
hoping you get a full recovery soon❤... David, will you still pick one of these up over the goodfellas smiles syntesi razor. How good or how similar can this one be against such contenders, will any of these three ones offer a little extra or similar for what the syntesi can do on its own 😊
Rockwell is one of the best adjustable razors you can buy. This is why everyone compares other razors to them. It’s the standard that has been set.
Ohhhh😮 it is clear now, thank youuuuuuuu,@@OhioShaves
I have 1 shaving knot cuz im waiting for timeless razor to have a sale on the adjustable shaving brush.
There is the Black Friday thru cyber Monday. 💈👍
@@OhioShaves yep I'm just waiting for that to start. 😁
@@grantwright2648 I might get a code to save another 5% off. I'll make the call before then
@@OhioShaves would love that! 😁
Get well brother!
Thanks Bro
Hey Dave!
As I mentioned earlier, I am absolutely blown away at the performance and results of the Rockwell 6S I just received. Your advice on that and the Henson are spot-on!
Additionally, your suggestion to invest in a decent aftershave is the cherry on top. My first aftershave was from Supply Razors… But I’ve since incorporated Thayer’s witch hazel into my collection. It’s an amazing aftershave and a steal for the price.
I have 4 shaving brushes; three of which are the pearl-blue brushes from The Razor Company you suggested. Very nice, inexpensive but good brushes. I hope to convince some friends to start wet shaving with safety razors soon, and will give my extra brushes to them.
Hope you continue to heal, keep putting out top-notch content…and as always….
GO BLUE!!!🔵🟡〽️
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Rockwell and the Henson! I saw the brush in the picture you text today. That blue brush is a steal. Nov. 30th is the big game
PS
The very low humidity out here in Idaho is brutal on skin. And yes, the aftershave helps moisturize my face.
It’s so dry out here that you could put 2-quarts of 10W-40 lotion on in the morning, and by evening you’ll be 1-quart low! I mean, my skin sometimes feels like a kettle chip it’s so dry out here! 😆
@@ejones7589 🤣That's Dry
Take care Dave
Thank you much
I’m using headphones and your sound seems to be coming only from right side. Are you looking over my shoulder? Yes, you do and I’m taking your advice that Rockwell 6C is smoother than AL13 M. 😅
Yeah. I hit the wrong button on Lavalier mic in the setting. Left channel and mono 🤣 the 6C is hard to beat
Hey Ohio, I see that Rockwell offers both shaving cream and shaving soap. How do these differ, and which do you prefer?
The same. The cream is what I use
@@OhioShaves Thank you.
Just bought Merkur 34C because of you and it's epic! first time safety razor user and so far so good! got any soaps you recommend? Cheers
That's great news. Rockwell makes some really good soap and aftershave combo. And there's a huge sale going on as I pointed out in this video. As for a really good stand out soap, Taylor of old Bond Street is a huge winner
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Do you use a stand for your razor and brush? If so, could you tell us where to get it? 😊
Yes I do! It’s a prototype that is coming out next month. I will be doing a review on it.
What your number one saftey razor? If you only can choose one?
It would have to be a adjustable razor because I don't shave on a schedule. I'd have to say a Rockwell because I've taken off 12 days of growth on plate six and I've also shaved every day with it as well. Just an all-around fantastic Razor. What's your favorite?
@@OhioShaves I’m new to using a safety razor. I ordered one from Temu, but it’s bad. I often suffer from razor burn. I’ve tried electric razors and the Gillette SkinGuard, but they were all unsuccessful. Would you recommend the Rockwell safety razor for all areas?The Henson razor can apparently be used for the entire body without causing cuts.Which razor irritates the skin the least and provides the cleanest shave? Thank you for your response.

David, do you use inkwell razor stands or what shave stands do you like?
Yes. But I’m currently testing a new stand that’s in development stage right now
If you could have only one of those Razors which one of those would it be. Thanks
It depends on your needs.
👍
I have 72 shaving brushes currently.
😃 WOW
Which do you orefer, the 6S or the T2?
Great question. If I want more aggressive razor then the T2. Level 6 can really cut through growth and still silky smooth. No plates to change, just Run and Gun. As for the 6S, I always shave with the 6 plate on all passes with silky smooth finish. Both are killer shaves
@OhioShaves Now, what about the 6C vs 6S? They're both on a great special, right now.
@@Tristin471 6S
Dave you are the man! You are my kind of dude, and I follow you because your no-nonsense talk. I am trying to figure this whole "Wet Shaving". What I am finding out I'm now counting razors! I am still early in this process. Before I started to learn I bought a Gillette 1956 TTO, why because that was the year I was born and for no other reason. Next Henson mild, then Gillette Fatboy. Why because everyone wants a fat boy. Now due to Rockwell sale a 6C and T2. HELP HELP! I don't see why keeping the Gillette's makes sense. Seems to me keeping the Henson mild and one Rockwell is what I need to do. So, either the 6C or T2. Don't know if the 6S is worth the extra $$. Thoughts?
Thanks for your support. Stainless steel is definitely worth it. I would keep them all so you can rotate through them, different tool for a different job.
@@OhioShaves Dave you're a hard charger, hang in there and "DO" as the doc tells you. I'm an old 68-year-old retired Marine and body isn't what it used to be. Can't say "ENOUGH" what you bring to us that follow you on your channel. Wish you and your family a happy Holiday season brother. Ok keep them all and rotate use, makes sense. So, I'll get the 6S and bypass the 6C. Semper Fi Shadow
@@vpuentes1956 thanks, brother
Glad you got fixed.
Thanks! Back on the road to recovery.
I've had so many spinal surgeries and I had to use those walkers for a long time. They are worth the chips. If I could get rid of the pain now I'd feel a lot better.
I've got a bunch of brushes and razors. I need to get rid of some and keep the ones I really like.
@@RichardE62 I know the feeling that's why I give pretty much everything away to the viewers
@@RichardE62 what do you take for the pain?
For my first safety razor I got a Gillette King C
yeah do you like it?
@ yeah! It’s awesome
Can i order from Ireland?
I think so try the link in the description
Blackland Razors is having sales the entire month of November. 25% off most of their stuff.
Nice. He was supposed to sent a razor. I haven't got it yet. bummer
@OhioShaves that is a bummer. I really like the osprey I have. Going to pick up a blackbird titanium with this sale for sure.
@@FranktheTank319 One of these days. People get busy and I understand that. There's about three other manufacturers that I'm still waiting on products to come in. It is what it is.

You'll get your moneys worth. I paid full price for mine as well.
Hey ohio shaves have you ever used mills safety razors?
I have not. What about them)
Saw a deal on them for about 0.06 a razor. Just wondering i have herd they are rebranded prosonna blades vintage of course
@AdamWoody-q4n I think I would stay away from them, brother. The only company that makes double edge razor blades in the United States is Accu Forge, which is Accutech Accu thrive persona you name it. Probably some knock off Chinese company try and do get us Americans to buy what we think is made in the USA.
I find majority of Gillette blades do well for me, but I'm never confident everytime I shave
Which Razor do you feel confident with every time?
@@OhioShaves usually it's the fusion 5 I mostly use, they're great but they blunt quick
Better shaves and better days out here
