    All hail the Rockwell 6s. If I knew then what I know now, when I was starting out, I wouldn't have bothered with the Merkur 34c or the Edwin Jagger DE89... Just buy a Rockwell 6s and baby, it's job done! You just can't beat it 👍

    • @MrPleers
      @MrPleers 3 роки тому +2

      Buying the Merkur is actually the one razor I regret buying. The coating on the head started to flake off in just 2 years of use. And underneath is just zamak. So it's only suited as a paperweight now.

    6S is my favorite too. The 6C shaves just as well for half the price. The 6C would be a great option for those getting into DE shaving and not knowing how aggressive a razor to choose.

    Using my Rockwell 6S, i can go 4 to 5 shaves with no nicks. it's amazing!

    An FYI, SL: Both 316 and 316L stainless steel are marine grade. 316L has less carbon content, making it better than regular 316 at resisting corrosion, and it doesn't require post-weld annealing (the slow cooling of the welds in a heat treatment furnace). That being said, I too love both of these razors.

    The Rockwell 6S is also made in the U.S. Rockwell 6C is made in China. The Rockwell 'T' parts are made in U.S. and China (assembled in Canada.)

  • @DavidV4444

    I started with Parker 72R and almost gave up wet shaving because of the nicks and razor burn. Then someone (Mark Szorady) recommended the Rockwell 6C. I should have started with the 6C as it's really 6 razors for the price of one and it gave me what I needed to get my skin use to DE shaving, non-aggressive settings. I shaved with this razor for 9 months yielding great BBS shaves in the later months. Then I started eyeing the Rockwell Model-T and finally pulled the trigger in my 9th month of wet shaving. The Model-T is a longer/larger/heavier razor than the 6C. The head is larger and completely encloses the razor blade, no exposed tabs. The extra length and weight makes this razor glide through my beard growth without any effort on my part, "Let the razor do all the work". I always get a BBS shave with no irritation with this razor. Note, this also has to do with shaving technique and blade angle, but the weight of the Model-T gets the job done with very little effort. Another observation is that the Model-T, being a TTO razor, puts a lot more tension on the blade than the 6C. This may be the main reason why this razor glides through my beard so easily. IMHO, I believe Rockwell razors are the King of the Hill.

  • @AndyPanda9
    @AndyPanda9 2 роки тому +1

    I believe the .016 blade gap spec is a typo on their webpage. I measured my 'merica at .027" which is the same as the spec for Rockwell plate 5.

      True. One point of difference that we (in our biased opinion of course) believe is worth noting. Our razor is CNC machined with 316 American made steel stainless steel. The Rockwell razor is made by injection molding and their steel is not US made.

    Very nice exhibition. I would have been surprised if the Rockwell wasn't the winner. My 6C gives me an effortless and nick-free shave too. I normally use the R-3 plate. I need to grow my beard for 3 days so I can give the R-5 a try. Enjoy your weekend.

    Is it possible to do a sunny outdoor shave? Like if you were camping. The weather is getting warm and just wondering if its ok to ask. I know you have a code of no showin nips. But a tank top, a hot pot of water, mini mirror, and then BAM!!!! Camp shave style in the sun! Just letting you know that skylight is begging to let more sunshine in.

    Hi Sinatra, Dave from England here. I found it strange that on none of the 6S packaging did it say where it was made. I always thought it was made in the states. I like my 6S. I'm really into Razorock SS razors at present. Having my usual enjoyable shaves 2-3 times a week stopped because my partner contracted the Corona virus and so I was her 24-7 carer for our 10 day isolation which was a very worrying time. This was 3 weeks ago now and at the end I had the enjoyable task of removing 7 days growth with my Razorock Gamechanger •68 open comb. It was a great shave! I hope you are keeping well and safe Sir!
    Dave.

    Not sure it was the Merica that nicked ya: I just started wet shaving, and the first soap that I got was cella. I just purchased a Merkur 34G and Feather blades to use with the soap. At first, I started with standard Barbasol, and that worked no prob...the next day, I used Cella, and I got nicked up pretty bad. After that, I went back to the Barbasol no problem; then back to the Cella, and it was nick city. I don't know, I'm new to the world of DE, so maybe it's just me; however, it does seem that the Barbasol is a bits slicker that the Cella. I just purchased some Proroso Pre-shave, and see if that changes things up a little.
