Rockwell 6S Adjustable Razor 

Thank you, Tim.:) I really appreciate the kind words.:)

Do you still use the Rockwell Blades in the Rockwell shaver?

@@tugboat8475 no, I use the Nacet blades now. I sampled a few blades and the Nacet is my favorite, so I bought a 100 pack.

Mike, thank you for the kind words.:) I'm getting great shaves from this razor. Used the 2-4 plate with a Treet blade this morning and got a three-pass BBS. Although, I htink the Rockwell brand blades give more feedback. I can feel the edge of that blade a bit more than the coated blades. Whereas, in other razors, coated or non-coated, the blade has some feedback. I think this points to the build of the rzor head offering a smooth shave.:)

Most of the time I use the 3 and 4 plate, this morning I used plate 2. It was the best shave ever for me!

Jibran, thank you very much.:) Really appreciate the kind words.:)

Agree!:) Thanks for the kind words.:)

get the model T

Thanks very much.:) Appreciated.:)

Hi, androidtech302. Thank you so much for the kind words about the channel and videos.:) Very glad to hear they helped. Appreciate the good wishes.:) All the best to you and yours.;)

Danilo, wonderful to hear:) Let me know how you like the 6S.:) Thanks for the nice words about my channel.:)

Yes, and some believe the chrome plating on the 6C gives it a smoother feel than the 6S. YMMV.:)

Ian, that's a very good deal for the Rockwell 6S ! Wow! Enjoy!

Thaks, Bill. I love using the #3 plate for both face shaves and head shaves. Isometimes use the #4 plate for a face shave. Agree. The 6S is a great razor that delivers a smooth, comfortable shave.

Joyner, thank you so much for the nice words. I'm so glad the videos have helped in some small way. The traditional wet shave is just a wonderful process. I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I and others do.

Todd, it's a nice step up. Let us know how you like it.:)

@@MarkSzorady I definitely will! Quick question. I’ve always had trouble getting close by the nostrils, you have any tips? I usually have to clean up with a cartridge razor with the single trimmer blade on the back and it’s a pain in the butt. Happy Saturday!

Thanks very much!:) A wonderful razor and a terrific gift for your nephew for sure! My next shave is going to be head shave!:)

Not sure if i can go that aggressive.:) My next face shave is going to be with the 4-2 plate.:)

Thank you very much.:)

Hi, DavidV. Really appreciate the kind words.:) I gotta agree that the Rockwell 6S is very smooth and comfortable. I can use the #3 plate for a head shave with absolutely no problems at all. For the face, I'm a 4-plate 2-plate shaver. Have you fond, like some other Rockwell users, that the 6C is a bit smoother than the 6S?

@@MarkSzorady the 6C glides a bit better for me due to the slick chrome but I have a few 6S razors as I love the made in USA aspect of it (I generally try to buy made in USA or Canada whenever possible). That said, Rockwell now has coated versions in black DLC, red and blue that I hear glide a little better than the bead blasted stainless of the regular 6S. :-)

@@DavidV4444 Thanks for this update. :) I may use this in an upcoming MMMB if it's alright with you:)

@@MarkSzorady absolutely :-)

@@DavidV4444 Thank you!:)

Johnny, this is not a dumb question at all. In fact, may wet shaves take advantage of the numbers found in the corners of blades in order to help them keep count of how many shaves they've had on each side. Does flipping the blade add to longevity? It really depends on who you talk to. Some wet shavers flip the blade, others do not. However, there's no right or wrong answer from what I've read and heard. It all comes down to what works for you. Myself personally, I don't flip the blade and I don;t go with more than three shaves or so with a blade (there are some exceptions). I generally like to use a new blade as often as possible. DE Blades are quit affordable.

Wow!:) Outstanding!:)

Wow. I have the 6C very smooth. The SS with Rhodium is quite pricey I understand. Maybe someday.

Thanks.:) I was happy that that it all came together.:)

My LIve, yes, I use the razor from time to time. It's especially good with the #3 plate for head shaves. I used it a few weeks ago, as I recall, and need to use it again. However, Rockwell's T2 is more often used due to being a more traditional adjustable TTO razor.

@@MarkSzorady Does metal change color over time with a 6S? I heard about this problem

@@MYLIFE-hq7je First I've heard of this. I've not noticed any change with my 6S.

John, excellent. Let us know how you like it.:)

Albert Castro, thanks so much. I'm very happy to hear you enjoy the videos.:) I only have the 6S but, yes, I've read where others say that the 6C is a bit smoother. It makes me want to get the 6C to do a comparison video.:) Maybe down the road sometime.:) However, I love using the #3 plate in the 6S. Seems to be right for me. And, yes, a good lather is important. Stirling is great as is the Forumula CK-6 shave soaps from Phoenixshaving.com.:) What a great way to start the day!:)

Mark Szorady I need to try that soap one day. 6C is nice. As long as you put enough shave cream the 6 S does a good job. If you do in the near future do a comparison I like to see that one

Thank you.:)

Thank you.:)

Hi, Tomsterr.:) Agree!:) I'm stepping it up to plate #4.:)

Mark Szorady Nice plate:) Good luck :D

You are most welcome!:)

Teri Barba Arias get the 6S, a better razor at a better price

Thank you very much I greatly appreciate it !!!

I'm thinking that most of my shaves will be completed with just one plate. the 3 and 1 plate and the 4 and 2 plate. I can start on 4 and then flip and finish on 2. Same with the 3 and 1 plate. But, yes, going form 5 to 2 is more difficult. Have you looked at the Vikings Blade adjustable razors?

I may do a comparison with some other stainless razor I have to see if there is a difference to the 6S' finish. I don't have the 6C, so I'll have to improvise a bit.:0

I have the 6C and I've read the same thing and it makes a lot of sense. Some people spend a lot of money to have the 6S polished and Rhodium plated. I think that if they just polished it that would be great.

@@eminusipi Perhaps Rockwell will offer the 6S polished and rhodium plated? That'd be pretty cool to see.:)

@@MarkSzorady I would be happy if they just gave it a smooth finish!

I have the 6c and 6s the glide factor is minimal and if I was not comparing them side by side. I would never even notice the difference.

Yes, this is somewhat of a drawback. Easy to flip one plate from 3 to 1 or 4 to 2...but gong from 5 to 2 or 6 to 3? The process isn't as seamless as a TTO adjustable. I love the Meiji razor!:)

Tugboat, the Merkur 34C is a fine razor. However, you have to be right on the mark to get maximum efficiency than most other razors. So strict technique is needed, IMHO. With other razors, you can be off the 30 degree angle a little bit and still have good efficiency. With the 34C, you need to be right on the mark. I haven't used the Rockwell blades in a while. As I recall, they were very good and paired up well with the Rockwell razor. Smooth but with good blade feel like most stainless blades I use. With coated blades (platinum, chromium, Teflon, etc.) I get a softer, yet sharp, feel to the blade edge.

@@MarkSzorady so would the Rockwell T2 be better as in adjustable with no plates to change? I can see my self losing those little plates. Thanks

@@tugboat8475 the T2is a great razor and has a slightly different feel from the 6S or 6C. but,yes, a good choice too. You can also give the Vikings Blade adjustable a look. End tabs of the blades are not enclosed like the T2. Also, the Parker Variant is a very good adjustable as is the Merkur Progress. the Variant has a more traditional safety razor handle and look.

@@MarkSzorady thanks for the fast response. In Australia the T2 retails for $199! My wife would kill me, seeing my new shave set up inc accessories was $170. Unless I buy it and hide the 34c haha, she would have no idea as they are both silver/chrome in colour. Will definitely look into the others you mentioned. Great RU-vid video channel. Take care

@@tugboat8475 My pleasure. Perhaps work with the 34C a bit more and really dial in the shave angle. Try a Feather blade or similar sharper blade. Thanks for the nice words.

It's a terrific razor.:) Agree.:)

I'd say that the #3 plate on the Rockwell is just ever so slightly milder than a DE89. And a bit of a different feel, to be sure. So, I guess I can chalk up that milder quality to the design of the razor head. My skin borders on the sensitive side. I prefer razors that are neutral down into the milder range. I can use both the DE89 and the Rockwell (with the #3 plate) for head shaves. And I prefer a milder razor for head shaves. The Rockwell, with its six plates, will really allow you to find the proper level of aggression for your shave.

@@MarkSzorady Mark based on your suggestion I ordered the Rockwell 6C yesterday and received it today using your Amazon store front :) I had my first shave with this razor and used plate 2. What a difference. No nicks or cuts and very minimal razor burn using a Lord Platinum blade, 2nd shave on the blade. This razor has to be the best value in DE razors and the most comfortable. I can't thank you enough for your help. God bless, keep safe and stay healthy.

@@BlueJay7850 This is awesome to hear!:) Very happy that the 6C is working so well for you.:) And sincere thanks for using an affiliate link. I know you can make an online purchase from any number of outlets, so I'm very appreciative of your thoughtfulness.:) Wishing you many years of great shaves with the 6C!

Doug, the main differences between the razors are how they are made and their utility. The Envoy is fully stainless and CNC machined. It has some nice finishing touches (counter bores on the base plate for the handle, smooth polished finish, etc.) and is precisely made. The Rockwell, as I recall, is manufactured via a forge process of some sort. "The original 6S and its plates are made from brushed stainless steel that are forged in the USA." While the Envoy delivers a wonderful shave, the Rockwell 6S allows you to try different base plates and adjust the aggression of the shave. These extra plates let you find the proper level for your face and shave.

Hi, Éric Gauthier. Thank you very much for the kind words. I sincerely appreciate your good wishes. Really wonderful to hear from wet shaving friends in Beautiful Quebec! Happy New Year! Wishing you and all in Quebec and happy, healthy, and prosperous 2002! 🙂👍

​@@MarkSzorady Thank you :) And let's take advantage of the present moment that drives us. Just yesterday, I was already enjoying a radiant shave with my new R95. And, in order to warm the fire of the coming year, after listening to your video as well as that of the Scottish Kevy, I took the opportunity to order the 6S;)

@@ericgauthier3023 Wonderful! Enjoy that razor!:) Happy New Year!

Je viens de recevoir la bête ! (I just received the beast (6s))! Already looking forward to the next shave! Until then, I just have to choose the blade! (Feather, Astra SP, Perma-Sharp, Nacet, Voskhod, Wilkonson Sword or Rockwell ???) I am a regular big fan of the R41 with the Feather blade (which remains indomitable, it must be admitted) ... But why not plate # 4 or 5 with a Nacet blade ??? - Big decision to come ... Have a nice weekend. E.

@@ericgauthier3023 Have a great weekend and enjoy the razor!

Hi, ZeroColdx911. I can't say. I don't have the Jet Black edition, just the Stainless 6S. However, some wet shaves who own both the 6S and 6C (chrome plated version) say that the chrome plated version feels a bit smoother on the skin. Does the Jet Black offer the same sort of feeling as the 6C? Again, I can't say. I'd think it'd be best to contact Rockwell and ask them directly. My apologies for not having a first-hand experience with the Jet Black version.

@@MarkSzorady it’s alright thanks. I went with 6s as I prefer a more durable razor I’ve had bad experience with zamac

@@ZeroColdx911 Okay. Happy to help.:)

Thanks very much!:) Yes, the Astras worked very well in the 6S. Looking forward to trying others.:)

Mark Szorady The best blade pairing on the 6S for me is the Nacet.

@@DaveR24 Thanks!:) I have GOT to remember to get some of these.:) Have used a few in the past and they are very good!:)

Hi, SteleaTube. This information is from the Rockwell FAQ page: support.rockwellrazors.com/portal/en/kb/articles/where-are-your-blades-and-razors-manufactured "Where are your blades and razors manufactured? We manufacture the Rockwell 2C, the 6C, and the blades in our dedicated facility in China, while the Rockwell 6S is made in the USA. And the Model T has parts made in China and the US and is assembled in Canada."

@@MarkSzorady thanks a lot, very useful information.

@@SteleaTube My pleasure. Thank you for the view and comment.:)

Thanks.:) Appreciate the kind words.:) And happy that you were able to snag some Wild Country.:) I ordered through a local rep for local pickup and mine never came. I need to follow up. Thanks for the reminder.:)

Yes, i did a review of it a few years ago.:) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2YdFZw7flHo.html I need to revisit it.:)

I'm not sure your comment translated correctly. Could you please rephrase and post again.?
