The Daily Razor: Best Safety Razor - Rockwell 6c 

You’re the best. Thank you so much for your support.

Glad I could help. Great read👍

Riding the guard has definitely improved the quality of my shave especially in my neck area. My first pass normally didn't take much down. Now riding the guard it seems like it takes off a whole Lotta hair. Thanks for the tips

Thank you much

Great razor. Good choice

That's great news. There are really great razors and thanks for your support!. Did you get the 6C or 6S?

@@OhioShaves I ended up getting the 6C. It’s a great looking razor on top of being a great shaver!

Right on 👍

Thanks. What’s your favorite razor?

@@OhioShaves That's a tough one. I am on a bit of an adjustable DE razor kick and the Merkur Progress was a big surprise to me. I wasn't expecting to like it nearly as much as I do. Outside of that, I have consistently had my best shaves with SE razors so injectors, GEMs, and Artist Club. I'd say that GEMs are my overall favorite with the GEM Junior sitting on top. Most people agree not to switch things up too much at first. You are loving the Rockwell so I say stick with it until you have a reason to try something else. If anything, maybe try some different blades or soaps if you want to mix things up. Just my $0.02.

My favorite is the Merkur 34c. Since trying the 6c I’m leaning towards I because of the different plate’s of aggression.

I always forget to try that. Kevy Shaves does that and I always forget. Thanks for reminding me and glad you are enjoying the videos👍

Thanks for the update. Great razor good choice.

Great read. Thanks for sharing

Nice

I practiced with your different shave soaps this week and man did it make a big difference in my lather. Thanks so much for the gifts and the tips.

Yes it does!

That's what I ended up doing because I'd love the shave so much from the 6C that I went out and picked up a 6S

@@OhioShaves my only setback was your review of the Yates Merica. It kills me that I originally started this because it was more economical. Lol

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

No problems so far

Awesome, good for you! How thick is your facial hair? How many days growth?

If your hair is pretty thick like mine, then I would start with the number three plate with a Astra green blade. If it feels too aggressive then switch to the #2 plate. The Astra and Voskhod are mild razor blades. My next video is going to be with a Voskhod blade using the #6 Plate. If you are not sure I would just put the Astra blade on the number one plate lather one side of your face and and give it a try. If it doesn't take off the hair on your face or it is pooling or tugging on the razor blade then I would move to a number three plate and work my way up as needed. You're probably going to settle in on the number two plate would be my guess that is comparable with a very mild razor like the Merkur 34c. You're going to find out that some blade manufacturers work better on your face than others. Most people lean towards astra blades to start out. Remember to use very light pressure on the razor. This is not thing like using a disposable razor where you have to press firm. Take small strokes and take your time. It takes a bit of getting used to but after a few shaves you'll have it and that's when I would experiment with different blades. But you do have 3 plates and 6 levels of aggression on the Rockwell, so use them. To me that's the advantage of buying the Rockwell over the 34C. You have way more options with the Rockwell. Happy shaving and what let me know how things work out.

@@OhioShaves It's not light... maybe medium? I'd probably attempt it after a single day to be on the safe side.

@@OhioShaves Thanks for the tips! I'll give the Astra/1 combo a try to start as you suggest.

Thanks Brad, I'll be posting a head Shave video tomorrow or Monday

@@OhioShaves LOL, I am watching it now.

Here is one of my favourite You tubers, Paul H. Films with a Sunday Morning shave, featuring the Rockwell 6C, using all 3 plates. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nitYn1z5Auk.html

@@bradcopp2855 Paul is on my subs list. He's a master at shaving his face.

That is awesome! I would say right around a three plate

@@OhioShaves Thank you brother! I have a Merkur Progress and Futur. I also have a Parker Variant which I do not like because one side has terrible blade exposure (really off). I also have a few vintage Gillette Fatboys, Slims, and a Black Beauty which are phenomenal adjustable razors. I am very much intrigued with the different plate system for adjusting the razor setting/aggressiveness so this will be the first of this kind for me. I asked about plate 3 because if I like the razor I might just buy a 2C and always use it on plate 3. Thanks again for the feedback. And keep up the great work with all your videos. Right now you and Geo Fatboy are tied as the Kings of wet shaving on RU-vid. 😀

Good idea! What is your daily razor?

@@OhioShaves My dayly razor is the Merkur Futur, it have it all,adjustability,agression,long handle. For me it`s perfect

Sounds like a really great razor

It's a great razor to make the switch with because if you don't get the correct angle, it doesn't cut. That's huge.

@@OhioShaves thank you very much! That’s good to know. Do you have a blade recommendation? Doing some basic research into blade sharpness and effectiveness after 1st use and many of them look great. What have you found to be most consistent?

That’s a great question personna seem to be very consistent and the comfort coats are my favorite and they’re made in United States Gillette platinum Gillette silver blue used to be high on my list, but since they moved their manufacturing out of Russia, I cannot say they are good or bad anymore

I would go for the Rockwell. You being new to safety Razors it's going to give you six different razors and one. Here's a video when I talk about it in much more detail. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_2lS65WjW10.html

@@OhioShaves Thanks for the advice.. Went ahead and ordered the Rockwell hoping for Close/Smooth shaves in the future.. Appreciate your videos for help with de shaving tips 👌

Razors 🪒 I have or have used Muhle R89 Henson AL13 mild RR Lupo aluminum RR mamba 53 & 70 RR BBS standard stainless RR SLOC Weber Dynamic EVO focus R48 v2 Pearl flexi (terrible) Merkur Futur & clones Gillette tech mild version Vintage HofFritz slant Fatip slant Wilskinson sword quad blade (stupid smooth) For smoothness & ease of use the 6c wins. Do I have more efficient razors? Sure the weber or Futur blow it away but they will cut you at any wrong swipe.

Welcome. Nice review. thanks for sharing

THAT'S QUITE A SET UP OF RAZORS

@@OhioShavesLike them so much I have like 30. Have to say the Hensons and the Rockwells are some of my favorites.

👍Great razors

I have some Perma sharps

@@OhioShaves Really? Awesome... If you're talking about the ones with the gold box (not the green), then those are some truly EXCELLENT blades, along with the Nacets.

GOLD BOX. I'll make a video with them

Thank you much! I’ve had my eye on the R41. A lot of videos on RU-vid recommend and highly praise the R41. What are you currently shaving with?

@@OhioShaves so nice of you fro reply. Actually my shaving set is around 5-6 razors for different mood. If I want clear and mild shave - I use Mercur 34 slant/rockwell on 3d plate. If I want to shave all hear almost by 1 slide - I use Muehle R41/Rockwell 6c, Rapira razor. If I want eficiently and mild shaving - I use Homelike Start razor with 1.18 gap. But sometimes I use Fine Marvel razor. As my daily razor I prefer Homelikeshaving Baikal razor (a bit different type of razor alike Rockwell 6c). And for sure, Gillette King C and Gillette Super speed for holidays. But for sure - mercur and rockwell are the best choise as mild and relax shaves 💪

Nice Selection of razors. I’m a little jealous. I’m searching for a old Gillette fat boy just haven’t researched it enough to pull the trigger on one. I definitely need a Gillette razor in my rotation. Everybody seem to rave about all of them.

@@OhioShaves for sure, I've searched for Fatboy too, but it's hard to find it in good condition. I have 2 adjustable razors - Pearl Flexi and Yaqi adjustable. In my personal opinion - adjustable razors are cool as a begginers set to find out what is your line of agression. But after few weeks I became cold for those, because it started to be too predictable. But for sure - every razor have their own character. And Im gelaous about you, because it is not so simple to find out great shaving supplies in russia, Im even not telling you about how it is now (impossible). Well I'm glad that I found your channel and I asure you - Im looking forward for your reviews! Shaking your hand 🤝

The Rockwell 6’s made me a better shaver. What about you?

I don't understand the question

Great question. The Henson is easier to use, but the Rockwell is more versatile because it's adjustable. Basically, you're getting six different razors and one package

@@OhioShaves But as far as the overall shave of both. Would you say it's tied?

Yes@@nomad1517

The ability to swap out plates for six different settings in one razor is definitely a advantage

What blade do you like to use?

@@OhioShaves shark blades ..

@@markboland2545What plate on the Rockwell? Sharks were super dull for me and pulled a lot. Kind of painful

@@NickzAndMikz every one different ...i set the rockwell with plate number 4....the sharks dont seem to work in the 61 fat boy i got....but work great in the rockwell

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. How would you describe your beard and how often do you shave?@@markboland2545

less $$$

You got that right. I heard the 6C glides a little smoother than the 6S. Love this razor

@@OhioShaves yes, some companies offer a process or coating for the 6s to make it smoother. Razor Emporium is one of them

Yes, but The 6c is a smoother shaver is what I hear?
