    Thanks for the T2 vs 6S comparison shave. I don't have a T2 but the 6S is my favorite of all the DE razors I do have...including my adjustables. I always get a BBS, smooth, and nick-free shave with the 6S. An adjustable razor sounds like it would be the best kind to get. But once you find the right setting/plate, an adjustable isn't really necessary for me at least. As we like to say...YMMV.

    I'm 28 and just got my first safety razor thanks to your videos!! (King C Gillette it was on sale in my country). I usually don't like shaving and trying avoid it as much as I can, but that was absolutely fantastic shave experience, not perfect of course need more practice, at least I didn't get razor burn. Next step is to buy your signature brush and also I'm already thinking about Rockwell 6s! Thank you so much keep making great videos!!!

      Just goes to show you different razors/blades affect people differently. I started with the walmart van der hagen. It feels cheap and recently fell apart but for the half a year it lasted, it was great. I didnt know anything about technique whatsoever. I just wet my face, put cream/shave butter on and then did one pass, against the grain every other day. Barely any nicks or irritation (and its a fairly aggressive razor I believe). Then I got the king c Gillette. Far more premium and also far more mild. After getting it I improved my technique, switched to proper pre/post shave methods and upped it to 2-3 passes, am getting constant irritation and nicks. Still room for improvement but this razor doesn't take off enough hair so i need more passes then my skin can handle. Gonna grab the rockwell 6c actually. Well renowned razor and with 6 settings it is guaranteed to have a setup that is best for my hair/skin. Im glad the Gillette works for you though! It's a robust and quality razor!

      @r.c.g.811 9 місяців тому +3

      @@gregsullivan7408 have had it nearly 6months. And use it nearly every day.
      I like mild shaves. For every day use I like the 2 setting.
      If I skip a day or two, I start at 4 for the first pass and then down to 2 for the second pass.
      The quality and craftsmanship is worth the money spent. I typically use the Rockwell blades because I got the 100 pack in the set. No issues with the blades either.

  • @georgesilverhawkstrailcame2297

    Aho there my wet shaving friend. And I understand your predicament. I’m asked often what’s the better razor… the Gillette Fatboy or Gillette Slim. My answer is always, you can shave with the same razor and blade twice and get different results… or get a different results on one side of your face then the other in the same shave. With either razor… as I’m sure is the case here with the Rockwell Razors… with proper technique you can get the very best possible shave, and you can’t do better than the “best possible shave.”
    So it comes down to aesthetics, feel and comfort holding the razor. You can’t go wrong with either razor, as I’m sure is the case here.
    Blessings to you and yours. Aho! ✋🏼

    Would be interesting if you can get your hands on some Mitchell's wool fat soap. I hear stories about how hard this stuff is to lather, how some people hate it and some people swear by it. Always liked the look of the 6s but I also really like being able to turn down my Flexi to 1 on the fly for against the grain, too much work swapping out plates. If they could come up with a way to do a true dial-adjustable 6s that would sell like hot cakes, because i don't think the t2 quite achieves that.

      Almost. It only covers the very mild to medium range of aggressiveness. That is why I bought a Fatip open comb for a gentle step up and an R41 for a bigger step for those days when I'm bored with the 6S or want to get a closer shave and/or take off a few days growth at once. Now if the 6S had a 7+8 plate as well as open comb options for longer growth then it certainly would be the only razor you'll ever need.

  • @danaochmanski
    @danaochmanski Рік тому +1

    The T2 provides some great shaving ASMR, like applying butter to a piece of toast. As I have said before, I have both the S and C and mainly use the C plate 3 or 4 depending on much growth there is. Plate 3 as the daily driver and 4 if there is more than one days growth. I don’t want the Red paint on the S to become grungy lol Cheers!

    I’m coming off of a Jeremys version two cartridge razor which is the best cartridge one I’ve ever used. After one and a half passes I get a BBS shave. But I’m thinking about switching to Rockwell and I don’t know that I want to change the plates out because I also don’t know what number I should use. Do you think it’s worth it for $100 to go for the adjustable or should I just get used to changing plates out until I find the number that I like?

  • @davesheppard8797
    @davesheppard8797 Рік тому +3

    Hi Sinatra Lennon, Dave here from Bristol, England. What I like about the 6S, is that every plate is smooth. I find with true adjustables that the higher you go up the scale, the more smoothness you lose. I can't speak for the T2 as I don't own one. But I do find it on my Parker Variant and my Futur. Is this the case with the T2? If so.......that would make the 6S a winner for me!
    Another great video mate!
    Dave.

  • @nobbylon1
    @nobbylon1 Рік тому

    After watching and hearing you rave about the 6s I’ve actually ended up with 2! I’ve settled on plate 5 and do get equal shaves from my old Aristocrat, q-shave cheapy on setting 5 and a Muhle R89 with 2 shims. What makes the 6s shine though is that I never get nicks and can whip it around like a ninja with a katana. With everything else I’ve tried I have to take my time. Shame you cut with the T2 but for me the 6s is unbeatable.

    Winner for me is easily the 6S. I normally use it on plate 4, sometimes on plate 5. My T1 never goes above 2.5, it's just vicious. I've contemplated moving it on, several times, but when it doesn't bite, it does give a very close shave. 6S for the win though, 97.52% of the time.

I've read A LOT of bad reviews about T razors and a lot of people have complaints about the quality of the T2 razors. They talk about the mechanism, about the bad quality of the product, that the razor is not exposed to all sides equally. Some of them even returned this product.
