Rockwell 6S

My new Safety Razor

My first safety razor was the leaf twig. I had previously shaved with the Gillette cartridges. I like the leaf twig because it had a small head and I was able to maneuver it easily. The thing I disliked about the leaf was the tapered handle. It was hard for me to hold onto. I watched a lot of reviews online and decided to go with the Rockwell 6S. I figured I might as well bite the bullet and get stainless steel. I found the 6S a lot heavier then the twig and was not sure I like the weight of it and thought maybe I should have went with the aluminum one. Also, I did not understand about the numbers on the blade plates. I realized by watching a video that the number had to be on the bottom facing down and I thought the number had to be on the top. The 6S does give a very smooth shave. I am still getting used to it and not sure about the weight still and trying to find the correct blade angle when I shave. Overall, I think it is a well-made razor and I just need to get used to shaving with it and I am thinking maybe I should have spent a little bit more money and bought the T 2 adjustable. For now, I will persevere through the learning curve and adapt to the way it shaves.

King of the Hill--Shaving Like Royalty

I bought my first Rockwell safety razor, the 6C, in 2021. I liked the way it shaved so much that four months later I bought the Matte 6S. And it has been my favorite for over five years. To celebrate I decided to treat myself to the ultimate Rockwell Gold 6S. I now have two heirloom stainless steel safety razors that will give great shaves for decades to come. I have no words of praise for the 6S that haven't been said by everyone who owns one. For me, the Rockwell 6S may go down as the best safety razor ever. It is a unique design that is ideal for those wet shaving for the first time to veteran shavers like me who have had hundreds of BBS shaves. And now there is the Rockwell SETPOINT adjustable that some think might challenge the 6S for that "King of the Hill" title.

Best Razor

I have had it for 3 weeks. I use the #1 setting. I cut myself once when I was in a hurry. Slow down and enjoy the great razor.
