Fantastic razor even for beginners!!

I started wet shaving about 1-2 months ago. I started with the cheap Van Der Hagan, and after a month and a half I decided to commit to wet shaving. And after all of the reviews I watched. This razor was more appealing. Every review I watched was nothing but good things. And they were not wrong. Even though I am a beginner this razor gives me a smooth shave every time and is so comfortable!!!! I might upgrade to the 6S for Christmas as well!!

Great look and feel!

I have been wet shaving for about 6 years. I've used a number of different blades and this is the best one I have for the price. It look great, is not too heavy and offers nice advantages. The shave is very good and I have yet to nick myself on this particular razor. You really can't beat this razor for the price.

Solid quality

I have been using a cheap Van Der Hagen for the last six months. It got the job done....or so I thought. This new 6C is amazing. The material feels solid. The ability to change the aggressiveness of the razor as I need is convenient. My only complaint is that the razors they included to work as good as my Astras do.

Newbie Impression

First up, this is my first safety razor. Why I chose it. 1st of all because experienced shavers have endorsed it as their favorite razor. It has 6 plates to choose from. One of them will be right level of aggressiveness for you. I considered the Merkur, Parker, Meuller. The handle is a nice length even for bigger hands. The handle jimping is super aggressive. Even wet hands will not slip with this razor. It is heavy, solid, well built, and looks high quality. The gunmetal finish makes it look like a more modern tool vs traditional chrome IMHO. Finally I was torn between this chrome gunmetal finish and the sturdier (+$30) 6s stainless steel model. I decided on chrome based on reviews that the 6s SS does not glide quite as easily on face. USE - I used all plates 1 - 6 on six consecutive days. (my first time shaving with a safety razor. I shave face and bald head) ZERO CUTS!!! I have to say, the first shave was very awkward, but it has gotten easier and more interesting with each shave. I like the more aggressive plates and will stick with #5 for now. It's getting easier to use with each shave. 5 star.

Amazing

Great razor blade for the price. The 3 adjustment plates it comes with gives you a lot to experiment with. I've settled on using the #4 plate and it pairs lovely with Gillette Silver Blue and Feather blades. The gunmetal looks great, although hard water makes it quickly turn soap scummy. Easy enough to clean afterwards though.

Rockwell is a great razor!

I have been using a double edged razor for roughly 8 years. (The switch from disposable razors has save me over a thousand dollars in that tome as I was spending about $30/month. I have spent less than $200 dollars over the last 8 years) My go-to razor is my Edwin Jagger. It provides an aggressive shave. And is in as good of shape as the day I purchased it. The Rockwell Razors 6C Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor in Gunmetal + 5 Swedish Stainless Steel Razor Blades was on sale and I bought it intrigued by the adjustable components. The Rockwell adjustable components allows you to vary in aggressiveness of shave from 1 being least aggressive to 6 which is most aggressive. I love an aggressive shave and initially tried the razor on 3. I switched to 5 for one week then finally to 6. Setting 5 is comparable to the Edwin Jagger. Setting 6 has provided a phenomenal shave. More aggressive than the Edwin Jagger. As you can see in the photo the Rockwell is longer and wider than the Edwin Jagger. It is heavier, too. All of these qualities are to my liking. The razor appears well made. Switching from one setting to anther is a easy. Information card is succinct in description. If you looking for a new razor or are new to double edged razors, the Rockwell is a great purchase. It allows you the flexibility to try various levels of aggressiveness for a great price.

A 15 week review of the Rockwell 6C adjustable razor.

Unboxing: The razor is nicely packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with a plastic molded insert to hold the razor parts along with a two sided instruction sheet explaining how to use the adjustable bases. Despite not being stainless steel like its sibling 6S model, the 6C is still impressive and hefty due to being made of solid Zamak metal parts. Don’t let the use of Zamak turn you off this razor, the finish is quality and I doubt I’ll ever use the included lifetime warranty. My scale reports it weighs in at a respectable 97.4 grams (almost double the weight of my G Slim Adjustable). The finish is perfect, I could find no flaws in the finish on the handle, cap or the included bases. The razor not only looks nice, but feels great in my hand. The handle has just enough knurling in the grip to provide traction for wet fingers while not biting into your fingers. The handle length of 85mm / 3.35in is, in my opinion, neither too long nor too short which keeps it nimble when shaving. The side of the base-plate you face outward during assembly will determine the razor’s blade gap. While there are only three bases included, each side of the base-plate is designed to provide a different gap setting. The Base-plates are paired as follows: (R1/R3), (R2/R4), (R5/R6) - with R1 being the least aggressive, and R6 being the most aggressive blade settings. The razor's cap (top of the razor that secures the DE blade in place once attached to the handle) uses a post type system to secure the DE blades - there is no wobble or play anywhere in the razor once assembled. The Shave: My prior razor weighed only 58.5 grams, so I had developed a habit over 30+ years of applying some pressure while shaving. I had to quickly unlearn that habit as the natural heft of the 6C is all that is needed. I was immediately impressed by how easily the entire assembly glided across my face - absolutely zero drag/friction from the cap was experienced. The base plate design also includes three generous channels on each side that allow the shaved slurry of soap and hair to easily exit the gap space between the blade and base plate. A quick pass under the faucet removes any remaining remnants of shaving. Once dialed in with the right base-plate for your face, it's very smooth sailing with this razor! Base-Plate Selection Process: During my initial research, I had incorrectly assumed that the R6 base would probably be the only one I used since all the blade gap data I could find online indicated it was a bit less of a gap (aka less aggressive) than my Slim Adjustable on the “7” setting. In fact, I was actually worried it would not be aggressive enough to remove the barbed wire I call facial hair and that I’d ultimately regret my purchase. I also vaguely remember reading somewhere on one of the shaving forums not to go by just the blade gap for comparisons - and after months of use I completely agree. I found that both the R6 and R5 bases resulted in nicks and weepers despite having less gap than my Slim on the higher settings. I also re-confirmed this result by using the R5 base-plate again after using the razor for a couple of months to eliminate that my early technique was the cause of my weepers. The second attempt with the R5 base produced similar outcomes, although admittedly not as many nicks. It would appear that the blade gap alone is not the complete story on this design. Ultimately, I have found that for me, the R4 base resulted in a very consistent and forgiving BBS shave when using the three pass method (with, cross and against grain). Un-rushed, with the R4 base I get no weepers, and only occasionally experience any skin scrapes/irritation when the aftershave was applied. I can also get the same with the R3 plate and shave much faster, but I typically have to do a few spot clean ups if I go down to that base-plate. I really encourage anyone who purchases this razor to go ahead and start with the R1 base and then progress to the next base only after completing a full 3 pass shave. When you hit that base that causes weepers and discomfort, go back down and you’ve probably found your sweet spot. After you have been shaving with this for several weeks, check again and adjust up & down at least one more time to be sure you’re still on the right one. Keep in mind the goal isn’t to see who can survive the most aggressive razor, but rather which setting results in a great shave with minimal discomfort/damage to your face. Conclusion: IMO, this was money well spent! I have absolutely ZERO complaints about this razor, how it performed once dialed in, or the quality of the product. I did invest into three minor accessories that were not included. A good storage case (I’m not a fan of storing things in a cardboard box near wet areas), a blade cover, and a razor stand to keep it handy and neatly stored out of the way when not in use. I agree with Rockwell’s decision to not bundle them in and raise the cost as not everyone wants these things. Thankfully, they are all available either through Rockwell or a third party, I was able to purchase the matching gunmetal grey base from Rockwell via Amazon, the razor leather protective sleeve from a 3rd party since Rockwell didn’t have theirs available on Amazon (*Hint hint), and I purchased a 3rd party Large storage tin on another site for small vendors that functions as both a storage place for the unused bases and it will also work as a travel case for my razor the next time I hit the road <- Something I do wish Rockwell produced. While this will not replace my straight razor, I do find myself using it in rotation with it and much prefer using this Razor over my straight to shave my neck. Self-shaving your own neck with a straight razor is.... exciting... Unless I find something better (I'm considering also picking up the 6S), this razor will also be my trusty fall back when I get old enough that my hands betray me and can no longer use a straight razor. If you were on the fence about trying a DE razor - this is a great choice that will spoil you due to the adjustable bases (which MOST DE razors do not have). If you’re an old DE veteran like me (G Slim Adjustable on “7” for decades), you also won't be disappointed. If you’re frugal, and spending two times the cost of this razor for the Rockwell 6S is out of the question - you'll be happy knowing you got the same build (different metal) at half the price.

Excellent Razor, well worth the price. Weight may be an issue for some

Other reviews have covered many of the great features of this razor. I decided to try this because I have very sensitive skin. While some may like an aggressive shave, I prefer a gentler shave. The adjustable plates allow for a surprisingly large range of shaves, and I have settled on 3 as my go to level. No cuts, and more importantly no razor burn. The gunmetal finish and shape of the shave head make for a smooth motion over the skin. The weight may be an issue for some, as it is beefy and I was a little surprised at the weight. It is certainly heavier than other razors I have tried. However, I enjoy it as it gives a feeling of more precision and control. Your mileage may vary. This would be an excellent first safety razor for anyone, and could very well be the last safety razor for many.

Great Razor

This is now top in my razor rotation :) Was looking for the 6s but for some reason Amazon doesn't carry it . Built well and shaves great

Best shave ever

Just a normal guy here. I have used this several times so far with some swiss blades. I will never go back to a cartridge razor. I have sensitive skin and this razor actually feels good on my face. I shaved after about 5 days with the #6 and there was no tugging or pulling. I think that you have to do some prep work as well with good shave cream and some after balm. It's a process but very relaxing. there may be more expensive handles out there but this one is definitely a great one to start out with.
