Rockwell R1 - Double Edge Safety Razor

I love it and it takes me back 50 years

I wanted to do a return on at least one of the razors because my shaving is advanced beyond all of the different plates, which are a hassle, but they won't return my emails. Pretty sad. I guess their 60 day guarantee is phony because they're hiding in Canada.

This is my first time using a safety razor and I had no trouble. I'm sure it's possible to cut yourself if you really try, but I had no nicks or problems.

Looks beautiful, shaves cleanly and the textured grip is solid for no-slip shaving when wet. No regrets buying this and I'll probably have it for life.

I've been wet shaving for two years and this was my second safty razor. My first was a Vander Hagen similar to this one. However I dropped that razor and ruined it. I wanted to try the R1 since it's available in gunmetal. So compared to the Vander Hagen this Rockwell R1 has a wider handle, slightly heavier weight, a bit more aggressive head and I think better build quality. The end result is a smoother shave. Combined with a sharper blade this razor really does perform well. I also have a Rockwell T2 that my wife bought me recently, but I still come back to the R1 once in a while because it's so easy and convenient to use. I might pickup a second in the future, but this one still looks brand new like the day I bought it. Definitely an excellent first razor or an affordable razor for everyday use.
