“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” - Henry David Thoreau

Strathcona was a trading town on the southern banks of the North Saskatchewan River, serving as neighbour and a trading partner with the city of Edmonton on the north bank. A few short years after finally reaching “city” status, Strathcona was absorbed by the faster growing Edmonton and was amalgamated in 1912. Today, this area is recognized as “Old Strathcona” and is home to the city’s cultural center, hosting many of our festivals, independent theatres and music venues, all while communicating its history through original architecture, even it’s train station remains.

It makes sense then that this history serves as the inspiration for my barbershop scent: a barbershop (as it applies to the perfumery world--the wet shaving world that word has a slightly different meaning) contains a strong “fougere” element (lavender, geranium, coumarin/tonka bean), a combination that was discovered by perfumers in the 19th century. Fougere has become a staple in the fragrance industry with many modern innovations that have continually revitalized the scent, keeping tradition alive while still moving forward.

Old Strathcona makes a bold herbal green opening with the inclusion of basil and tarragon, both of which share some similarities with anise but remain distinct and add their own nuances. Bergamot and lemon smooth out the opening which goes into a floral heart of rosewood, carnation and geranium. The base of the scent is the true star featuring white patchouli, tonka bean, a trio of tree mosses (oak, cedar, pine), a slight amount of vetiver and finally tenacious mushroom absolute for a bit of earthy saltiness.

Excluded is the classic lavender addition to make room for rosewood, giving a different kind of floral sweetness distinct from the more popular lavender fougeres.

*Please note that this scent uses natural tree moss absolutes, which are suspected to cause skin sensitization in some individuals--although there is some controversy in the perfumery community about how these conclusions were reached. All the same, this is your warning so you can make a decision that best suits your skin.

 Stainless Steel Blue Version

The Rockwell 6S includes the following all stainless steel components, made in the USA:
   - Handle with knurled grip
   - 3 reversible base plates providing sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
   - Plate A: Sizes 1 and 3, Plate B: Sizes 2 and 4, Plate C: Sizes 5 and 6
   - A blade cap
   - 5 Rockwell double-edge razor blades

Double-edge safety razors are the modern gentleman's preferred way to shave. The personal adjustability of the Rockwell 6S allows you to adjust the razor to perfectly suit your skin, facial hair, and shaving soap - ensuring a close, smooth, and comfortable shave every time. Made of stainless steel, the Rockwell 6S not only looks elegant, but is hefty enough to ensure easy maneuvering and durable enough to survive a drop on the floor.

Each base plate has a different blade gap on each side. Just flip the plate over to get a brand new shave.

Why Use an Adjustable Safety Razor Like the Rockwell 6S?

You have unique skin and facial hair, and your razor should reflect that. Cartridge razors and standard safety razors pretend that one size fits all when shaving, which leads to irritation and cuts. The adjustability of the Rockwell 6S allows you to find a smooth, comfortable, and close shave every day, no matter what the condition of your skin or the length and thickness of your facial hair. 

The Rockwell 6S provides six levels of adjustability, to ensure any and every man can redefine the closeness, smoothness, and comfort of their shave. These six levels refer to the space between the blade and the razor. Lower levels are great for men with more sensitive skin, finer facial hair, and thin shaving soaps. Higher levels are best for men with hardier skin, coarser facial hair, and thicker shaving soaps.

The Rockwell 6S uses affordable, comfortable, and recyclable double-edge razor blades. The Rockwell 6S is compatible with all blades. Each Rockwell 6S comes with 5 Rockwell Double-Edge Razor Blades.

Why Shave with a Classic Safety Razor?

The single blade of a classic safety razor means that you can shave with the grain of your facial hair - irritation-free - and get a smooth shave much better and easier than cartridges can. Most men find shaving with a Rockwell 6S to be a calming experience, and the process of classic shaving to be more relaxing and ritualistic than shaving with cartridge razor.
