Rockwell 6S with a Shave Cream and Synthetic Shave Brush

My first safety razor was the leaf twig. I had previously shaved with the Gillette cartridges. I like the leaf twig because it had a small head and I was able to maneuver it easily. The thing I disliked about the leaf was the tapered handle. It was hard for me to hold onto. I watched a lot of reviews online and decided to go with the Rockwell 6S. I figured I might as well bite the bullet and get stainless steel. I found the 6S a lot heavier then the twig and was not sure I like the weight of it and thought maybe I should have went with the aluminum one. Also, I did not understand about the numbers on the blade plates. I realized by watching a video that the number had to be on the bottom facing down and I thought the number had to be on the top. The 6S does give a very smooth shave. I am still getting used to it and not sure about the weight still and trying to find the correct blade angle when I shave. Overall, I think it is a well-made razor and I just need to get used to shaving with it and I am thinking maybe I should have spent a little bit more money and bought the T 2 adjustable. For now, I will persevere through the learning curve and adapt to the way it shaves.

I bought my first Rockwell safety razor, the 6C, in 2021. I liked the way it shaved so much that four months later I bought the Matte 6S. And it has been my favorite for over five years. To celebrate I decided to treat myself to the ultimate Rockwell Gold 6S. I now have two heirloom stainless steel safety razors that will give great shaves for decades to come. I have no words of praise for the 6S that haven't been said by everyone who owns one. For me, the Rockwell 6S may go down as the best safety razor ever. It is a unique design that is ideal for those wet shaving for the first time to veteran shavers like me who have had hundreds of BBS shaves. And now there is the Rockwell SETPOINT adjustable that some think might challenge the 6S for that "King of the Hill" title.

love it. well buikt and a really smooth but efficient shave

I've been wet shaving for 12 years. I would say the 6s is extremely gentle, even on setting 5 of 6. No nicks or irritation whatsoever. Does very well under the nose, which has always been a problem to me. It feels very well made and the handle is quite grippy. The only downside I've noticed compared to some other razors is that the area under the blade is a little bit small, which causes the razor to clog unless I frequently rinse it out. I use Barrister and Mann soap with a dryer/stiffer consistency, so perhaps that's the problem. Perhaps for the next version, have individual plates with deeper backside to help with the clogging. Overall an awesome razor and well worth the price.

A work of art! I tried just ALL the top brand razors. And this is hands down performed the best.

Quality built, solid construction, shaves great

So far I have enjoyed switching to their razor. It took a few days to adjust to using it and a few more days learning what plates I want to use, but it has been great. I've enjoyed it a lot more than using my other cartridge razors.

Great razor. Great kit. 10/10. Will be using this for years to come. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Just received and had my first shave with the 6S on a number 4 plate. Very close and irritation free shave. Can see this becoming my favourite shaving tool.
Lovely matt stainless steel item with matching holder.
I would have to agree with the majority of reviews stating this is a fantastic razor. I'm late to trying this razor, but very happy I got there in the end.

So far so good. Started at level 1 and found I needed a bit more close shave without nice so went to Level 2. Easy switch. So much better then the old 2 edge blade razor I started with sooo many years ago.
