Rockwell 6C White Chrome Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor

I got the Rockwell 6C as I thought it would be a nice addition to my growing collection of DE razors. I like the plate system and have found the 4 with an Accutec blade is a nice and easy shave for daily use without any blade feel or chatter. I wish I had spent the extra money for the S, but that is another story. I do like that fact that after a weekend of sloth, I can go to a 5/6 plate and get through the scruff a bit more quickly. I'll be getting an Oliworks multi-plate razor soon and am interested in the comparison. Any chance Razor Emporium will start carrying them, since they are another Arizona manufacturer, Matt?

The Rockwell 6c is an excellent DE Razor for anyone and great to have in your kit. It is excellent to travel with and is well balanced and a nice weight. Their guide to settings is excellent and as I don't shave everyday it is nice to swape out plates when I need to or just leave it for the reguar shave.

I wasn't sure where I was on the spectrum for aggressiveness, so I went with this since it is pretty popular. Right now 3 seems to be the best thus far. Last time I used a safety razor was in the military in the early 90s, and I can't remember the brand they carried at the PX. I stopped with the cartridge razors probably 20 years ago now because they just cause ingrown hair after ingrown hair and was doing the stubble thing. My stubble annoyance was my necklace getting caught up in neck hairs, and that freaking hurts! No more, 3 passes and it's super smooth.

I have a Parker variant open comb and it’s good I think the Rockwell is just a little better. I don’t know if my next razor will be a Rex or the Rockwell 6s. Still straight razor shave some, just a hassle stropping after every use. It’s a rabbit hole though. Wish there was a forum on this sight. Anyway love the razor. No problems with the fit for me.

Great looking Razor that performs as good as it looks.

I like the feel and weight of the razor. It shaves smoothly
and I can adjust it too different razor sharpness.

Love the weight and the solid feel. Interesting adjustable system using different base plates. Love the fit of the parts together. Very tight tolerances.

found the razor to be average at best. I was not impressed. The build quality was very poor

This razor is by far the best I have used. It gave such a terrific shave, having the different size plates helps you find the right aggressiveness. I tried plates 1-3 which were mild and I know they will come in handy for when I shave often or just have irritation. I settled on the fourth and it was just right. If you want to have an adjustable razor but do not want to give up the classic 3 piece design, this is the razor for you. I now know what it feels like to have a close shave but no irritation.
Also, the finish on the razor I received was superb, very visually pleasing. No blemishes or defects in the finish, and the weight is very satisfying.

I've used cartridge razors for over 40 years, (70 years young now), and after watching Matt's review on the Rockwell 6-C razor, i decided to give it a try. I had previously tried the Dorco introductory double edge razor, but it seemed a little weak. Matt responded to a comment/question that I submitted and suggested trying an adjustable razor with more aggressive blades. I went ahead and ordered the 6-C adjustable system and a package of blades for sensitive skin from Razor Emporium.
Matt, I'm sold, you were absolutely correct in your assessment of my question. I've gone through all 6 options on the razor and settled in on number 6 on the first pass and 5 on the second pass. Only two passes are now necessary, not 3-4. I did find that the cartridge razor is still good for one thing. Shaving just inside my nostrils :) I'm also using Geo. F. Trumper sandalwood shave cream and am loving it. I'm going to be trying the Porasco red label pre-shave next.
Thanks again for your advice and product line.
A faithful customer.
