Rockwell Model T vs Merkur Progress 

Videos from PaulHFilms, RazorEmporium, Ruds Shaves, Kevy Shaves and Northern Shaver, plus various print articles all consider this. Basically, the Parker Variant improves upon issues of the Merkur Progress (introduced around 1955-56): non-knurled handle and dial, calibration issues (fixed on Mergress after-market razors), balance, blade grip, etc. Both provide a similar shave, but some subtle differences may sway you one way or the other. The long handle Merkur Progress variety is closer in length to the Parker Variant.

I second that request, but he doesn't read or reply to comments.

They are about the same measurements but the Model T gives more blade feel and aggressiveness simply due to the blade angle and safety bars being different. I would say that the numbers on the dial feel and shave like 0.5-1 more than the plates on the 6S/C

BTW you look like 10 or more Years younger than in iLather days! I guess that's all the new positivity inside you ☺️

Thanks so much:)

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

I like to increase aggression as I go up. #2. I'm not clean shaven. See more recent videos where the lighting has changed. You can see better.

Thanks for watching.

Whatever works best for you is always the best way. If you go a little bit slower it just allows you more time to enjoy the shave:)

I get the feeling this guy hardly has any hair on his cheeks. Literally every single video of him he starts out looking what I look like after a shave.

That would be a great one if I owned an Ambassador. I may have already done this in the past though. You might want to search the videos on this channel or my old ilather channel.

@@IAMCDB OK!!

Understandable if you already have all those other options.

Electric?

Another cut above is indeed a lather master

If it works for his needs, why should it matter?

Adam Lol. It’s like saying that if you can barely swim why learn doing it properly?
