Much better match for the Roller Guard is the Henkels/Henso cap. More blade feel than with the Old Type and Henso plate, smoother than the Fatip Mk1. This is where the Roller Guard will stay I think.

I had three days growth to deal with, so I decided to make a game of it. On my left side I used my Merkur Vision wide open with a Voskhod blade. On the right, I used my Rockwell 6s with a Personna Lab Blue. On both, I used Tabac PSO and Wholly Kaw/Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli soap and spalsh. My Lutin Lightning did the lather honors.
Now, you would think the Rockwell would provide a more comfortable shave, while the Vision would get closer but not so comfy. I thought so, too, but we are both wrong. The Vision was smooth as butter taking down stubble without hesitation or irritation. The Rockwell also took down the stubble, but gave me a couple weepers on my neck - it was comfortable, but not much more than the Vision. My left side is shaved closer, as revealed by an ATG swipe with my finger. If I had to choose only one of these razors based on just this shave, I'd choose the Vision.
