Ah, good point on rotation. I'd suggest experimenting with 5-7 shaves per blade to find your sweet spot!

I've had my Rockwell T2 for over a year now, and I can attest to its durability. To ensure it lasts even longer, I make sure to dry it thoroughly after each use and store it in a dry place. With proper care, I'm confident it'll remain a trusted shaving companion for years to come!

I totally get your concerns about nicks and weepers, OP! I've been there too, and it's no fun. But I've found that the Pearl Shaving Flexi's adjustable setting is like having a personal shave coach - it guides you to find the perfect balance for your skin. And, let's be real, who doesn't love a good...

The blade clogging issue is a clear indicator of wear, and changing every 5-7 uses is a good rule of thumb.

Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't chime in sooner, I feel like I've been remiss in not sharing my own experience with the Muhle Rocca and blade compatibility. I've been using it with the Astra SP and Polsilver SI blades and have been thrilled with the results, but I've also heard great things about the Feat...
