    Ken - the length of your videos doesn’t matter. It is the quality of the content that matters and your content is excellent. Feel better.

    I agree Ken with other viewers. Your video lengths hit a good sweet spot. Shorter would be too quick. I've also seen shave videos that are 30 mins plus. Keep the great content the way it is! Take care

    I use the 6S and it’s fantastic! I never tried the 6C but I heard someone say it glides along the skin better than the 6S since it’s a smoother finish. Thanks for the video, hope your back feels better!

    A smooth and close shave for seven days of growth! The Rockwell 6C was my favorite DE razor until I bought the Rockwell 6S 😉 My daily shaves are with the R4 plate. I do flip to R2 for a 3rd pass and pickups. BTW, I like all your videos...long or short. Hope your "back" is back to normal soon.

    Great shave. The 6C has been my regular razor to use ever since I acquired it. I often use plates 3 and 4 since they work the best for me. It was the razor I’ve always wanted, and man, does it deliver for me every time. Have a good one!

    Thanks for all of your videos. The Rockwell 6S or Parker Variant look like great starter razors, since they can better adapt to one's skill and shaving needs. It's too bad they don't get as many recommendations for beginners as the Merkur 34C or Edwin Jagger DE89. I hope you can try an inversion table for your back issues (or find some therapy that can help). I've had good results with one even set at mild inversion.

    Yep, German blade, you're right. More aggressive than other Wilky's too as are most German blades.. I have had both 6C and 6S for years, I like the slickness of the 6C a little more than the 6S but polishing the 6S may be a game changer... Great shave Ken💈💈 Heal up quick bro. Enjoy!

    Sensing how you comment here makes the thought that a packaging of the Rockwell handle and top cap WITH JUST THE 2 & 4 BASEPLATE could be a possible good product. Maybe Rockwell could turn this into a purchase option.

    Excellent shave Ken. I hope your back gets to feeling better soon. I really enjoy using the Rockwell 6C myself. In fact, I often recommend it to new wet shavers as it's difficult to cut yourself with it due to the correct angles have been engineered and machined into the razor. Which base plate do you normally use?

      I've got the 6C and it's working very well, BUT, yes, I've noticed that there is a bit of play in the parts, and it is possible to end up with a slightly crooked blade after tightening it down. Whether it's having any tangible effect though, I'm not sure - I'm pleased with the performance. I usually shave bi-daily, and use #2 for most of the work. I flip it over to #4 for a final ATG pass on my cheeks only. Because I shave bi-daily, and because #2 is very mild, I only need water for a lubricant.
      Re the misalignment - I now pay attention to the alignment as I'm tightening it - sometimes I'll loosen it and re-tighten.
