Hello, new to DE shaving and checking in!
This forum has been super helpful for researching hardware and technique. I've used an electric shaver most of my adult life because cartridge razors didnt' shave close enough WTG and were super irritating (and bloody) XTG. (I only shave my neck, and just once or twice a week.)
My electric razor was getting old and I wanted to try something new. Stumbled across DE razors and ordered a Rockwell 6c, a brush and some soap from Sterling Soaps. The shave was fun and comfortable, but after a few I noticed that the blade didn't feel the same on each side. After a closer look it was obvious that the blade stuck out more on one side than the other.
I was able to return it, and decided to go a different route and ordered a Game Changer with 84p and 68oc plates. I was disappointed that the shave was not nearly as comfortable or as close as the Rockwell. The 84p was okay, but the 68oc was very uncomfortable.
So, I think I'm going to either get a Rockwell 6s and hope the blade lines up nice, or maybe try to get my hands on a 68p base plate and see if that's better. (For reference I was happy with the #3 on the rockwell.)
Thanks for listening to my ramblings!
