Rockwell 6S - usable daily 

The Rockwell 6C is my go-to razor on plate 3 with personna blade for a perfect shave every time

Hi Heiko Bought the 6C years ago and love it. Started out with plate #3 but now using plate #4. Very efficient yet smooth shave. Love my Twig as well. Alum block sanitize the skin, prevents bacterial growth as well as stopping minor weepers.

10:47 happy wife, happy life! 😅

The alum of potash that is a "mineral salt" is quite safe and a completely "different aluminum" than the aluminum phosphates and aluminum chlorohydrates that are found in antiperspirant deodorants. Alum stones are a mineral salt in crystal form, made of a single ingredient: potassium alum. This is not the same chemical compound as the aluminum which is found in most conventional deodorants. Potassium alum has antimicrobial properties (which is a big part of why they work), and it has been used since antiquity.

Great shave testing with the Rockwell 6S👍 Actually the Rockwell 6c was the razor that helped me correct my DE shaving technique some years ago, I nearly gave up on DE shaving until I came across the 6C, now I can shave with many different razors. With the 6C I prefer plates 3 or 4/2, when I use plate 4/2 I have plate 4 for passes 1 and 2, then switch to plate 2 for the rest. For daily shaving I would use plate 3. I do use Alum block after my shaves but normally rinse it off within a minute after it's done it job. 🤟🤠🤟

Again a great video Heiko. I have the Rockwell 6C in gunmetal finish. I am using plate 3 as well, it is my favorite plate after trying especially the more aggressive ones. Plate 3 is a good compromise between efficiency and smoothness. Especially against the grain plate 4 to 6 are too aggressive to me.

Hello Heiko..I've discovered that the efficiency of the shave with my Rockwell 6S has a lot to do with the actual blade I’m using.. ie setting the 3 plate works well with a less aggressive blade such as the Derby , but pop in a Feather blade and it will feel too harsh, so I'll drop down to the 2 or 1 plate for a more comfortable experience. I also decided to polish the top cap to a mirror polish using wet dry sand paper up to 2000 grit and then metal polish. The Stainless steel now looks as shiny as Chrome, and the interaction with the skin is noticeably smoother than the bead blast finish. There are some videos on RU-vid of others who have done this and like the results. Because you have the 6C you could just swap the cap to see if the results are to your liking. Great Shave! Cheers MikeR.

Great shave and video. This is my everyday razor except mine is blue. I also have sensitive skin. I use the same Wilkinson Sword blades. I do a 3 pass shave, starting with the 4 plate and 2nd pass with the 3 plate and then finish with the 2 plate. I even go against the grain in the mustache area. Also after I lather up, I change plates while the lather soaks into the beard. Have a great night and weekend. 👍👍👍

Another interpretation for your choice of Proraso Green shaving soap (or cream?) is that it is YOUR standard shaving soap for evaluating blades and razors. It is a good standard choice is partly because it is well known and likely to be available for many many more years.

Proraso green is the only soap I use. I’ve just gotten back into DE shaving after a few year break. I like your style

that’s a fantastic daily shaver. regards Mr Straight Razor

Moin Heiko, sehr geiles Video! I love the 6S! Ich komme mit meinem spärlichen und dünnen Bart sehr gut mit Platte 3 zurecht. Dir als gestandenen 'Man in Prime' mit einem eher dichteren und recht schnell wachsenden Bart würde ich Platte 4 empfehlen. Ist sie dir zu stark, bist du zu schwach 😂 Herzliche Grüße Jörg

Smooth shave Heiko👏🏻👏🏻

Nice shave Heiko with a good razor

Really enjoying your channel. Feel better soon and be safe.

Good to have options💈

Defently on my list. To have the choice of a more aggressive or mild shave is a good one. Plus, alumn feels so bad on my skin too. Never liked it, prefer some cold water!

The way you tell of this 6S and 2C couple of razors, some people would want to expect that the 2C would be effectively Rockwell 2C-or6S with ONLY plate #3; since plate settings #1 and #2 were much too too mild. Money might be better spent on a different razor, un less the person wants the available levels of #3, 4, 5, and 6.

top video Heiko👍90% i shave with plate 4. Have a nice weekend

I’ve got a 2c and was thinking of the 6c or 6s but was already thinking my 2c is enough. Besides I have a Henson AL-13 and Pearl Flexi among others.

Thank you man for this this is good you mentioned you have a merkur progress. if you had to compare this and the merkur slant bar what would you say I gave up my progess to a friend and I am getting a new one and considering this one

Nice razor !

edwin jagger de89 or rockwell 2c

I think 1 and 2 are for shaving your sensitive area body parts

Hello, Heiko how are you, I have the 6C version of this razor but I like light weight razors so that is not in my rotation but I use it with plate 5 most of the times 🙏🙏🙏👍👍

I have accepted the cautioning about aluminum compounds since before your telling us here. People should be made more aware.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend is very sensitive to fragrances due to migraines, so I gave away most of my old shaving products because I don't want to give her a headache (literally). I'm left with the white Sensitive products (most of which are almost odourless) and thank goodness for the green Proraso (which for some reason doesn't trigger her sensitivity).

What's up friend, where can I get the specifications of the exposure sheet for each plate? 🤔 I found the Gaps, but not the blade exposition of each level

if compare with king C gillette,what plate number at rockwell 6S , thank you

When you first get the brush how long do you soak it in water ?

Rockwell blades are terrible and destroy my skin. My go to is NACETS for my 6C.

Hi what brush is that?and if u want to compare twig with Rockwell, what plate of Rockwell would be the blade feel?
