Rockwell 6C Gunmetal DE Safety Razor

Product Review (submitted on 16 March 2022):

I have used cartridge razors for nearly 40 years. Finally I (nervously) decided to move to a safety razor. I did a lot of research, rejecting the QShave and Amazon own-brand because of mixed reviews. I was about to buy the Muhle R89 when I came across the Rockwell 6C. I liked the idea of the different plates to adjust the blade.

I'm so glad I bought it. It gives a wonderful close shave and, even as an absolute beginner, I have had no nicks at all - not one.

I started with the number one plate being very nervous but it is so mild it barely removes anything - it might suit if you shave several times a day. The number two plate is much better but, as I gained confidence, didn't give a quite close enough shave. The number three plate is the one that works for me - a lovely close smooth shave. That is the one I am using regularly.

I did try the number four plate - on four day old stubble - and it gave a brilliantly close shave but I could distinctly feel the blade and it made me nervous (although no nicks). I haven't tried the five or six plates. I think I'll be sticking with the number three plate for most shaves, perhaps using the number four if I leave it too long between shaves.

It's a lovely razor and gives a great shave. It feels just the right weight. It came with 5 Rockwell blades. The English Shaving Company had the best price and delivered the next day at no extra cost!. Brilliant service.

This razor and this company are highly recommended!
