Title: Best razor made.
Review: I have a Viking Emperor adjustable razor, and it was a good razor till it became corroded and the base metal wore off and I started getting shaving irritation. After much research, I decided to try the Rockwell 6C and the reviews DID NOT disappoint!If this is your first time using a safety razor, I suggest you start out using side 1 of plate 1 till you get about 6 months of experience with it, then flip that plate over and go to side 2 for about 6 months, then exchange the plate for the next one up and use side 3 for 6 months, then go to side 4 for 6 months, after that it's up to you if you want to try side 5 or 6, must people after experience will use side 4 or 5 depending on the coarseness of the beard. Some blades may require you to go up or down a number, you won't know till you use a blade and get a sense of how it's cutting.Once you find a blade you really like, stay with it, then you don't have to guess about which plate/side to use.As the reviews said, this razor gives an extremely smooth shave, and nearly impossible to get a nick, I don't want to say impossible but so far, I haven't gotten a single nick which with the old razor I would get at least one every time I shaved.This razor uses plates instead of a butterfly system to adjust the blade pitch for closeness, and while having to change plates is a bit of a hassle vs twisting a knob, the pitch is consistent with the plates which is why it shaves so smoothly while the butterfly system cannot do that as well...according to reviews.That type of system makes swapping blades a bit of a hassle vs butterfly styles, but I am more than willing to put up with that hassle in exchange for the extremely smooth irritation and nick-free shave I'm getting.Blade choice is a personal thing, unfortunately, you have to try a lot of different ones till you find the one that works best for you and your razor.According to the reviews, the stainless steel (S) version could last longer, but it's not as smooth shaving as the chrome plated (C) version according to reviews, but the S version is made in the USA, and the C version is engineered in the USA but made in China. I wish that Rockwell would bring the production of the C version back to the USA, but I opted for the C version because of the reported smoothness of the shave over the C.I opted for the gunmetal chrome version, and I'm glad I did, I think it looks better than the white chrome, but that's subjective.I seriously doubt that I could find a better shaver at any price, I might find an equal one but I would pay a lot more money for it.I strongly suggest potential buyers to read the reviews that are all over the internet on this razor and not the reviews here on Amazon, a lot of user error reports taint products that are good products.I read some of the complaints on this razor, some said the blades didn't align properly, could have been a manufacturer error, or a user error, all I know is mine aligns perfectly all the time, I think there were issues with the first batch of these razors, which if mine is any indication they seem to have corrected the problems.Another had problems screwing it together, mine goes together smoothly, again that could have been due to the first batch not being made well in China.Another one said it wasn't as good as a disposable, actually, it's superior to a disposable, so his issue is user error. It does take some time to learn how to shave with a safety razor, and even longer with a straight blade.One reviewer said it cut his face up, which is completely user error. This person was probably pressing into his face with it like you would with a multi-blade razor, you can't press into the beard, you have to let the weight of the razor itself press against the skin, no additional force is necessary. I have been using a safety razor for about 3 years, with other razors I had I would nick myself about once a shaving session, I haven't nicked myself once yet with the Rockwell. You also have to take short 1-inch strokes, and not drag the razor across the entire face as you can do with a multi-bladed razor. Watching You Tube videos on how to shave with a safety razor is immensely helpful.Another said it wasn't suitable for certain sensitive skin types, well tell that to the billions of men who used those razors for 20-plus years before the multi-bladed systems became more popular, and there are still a lot of men using them today which is why there are so many choices of safety razors on the market now, you could barely find these things 15 years ago, now suddenly the market is flooded with them and the prices have come down, so they are becoming popular again.Some people complained it broke when it fell on the bathroom floor, most bathroom floors are tile, so just about anything you drop on tile is going to get damaged or broken, the solution to that is not to drop it! I would rather have the razor break than chip the floor, just saying.

Title: Worth the price
Review: For many years I used the name brand cartridge razor refills. After retail stores started to place them on locked display hooks and in locked glass display cases because they were so expensive I decided it was time to do something different. I found you can buy double edge razors for literally a few cents per blade compared to a few dollars for cartridge refills. I was using the cartridges until they were so dull they were useless just to get my money's worth. With the double edge razors and their affordability I use a new blade about every three days (3 days on each side) without my wallet cringing. On Amazon there are hundreds of choices of blades from around the world to try. I have tried various handles to put the blades in, they can make or break your shaving experience. I had been using another brand of handle that I had purchased from Amazon that had the same type of platform that the Rockwell has that changes the pitch of the blade to give different types of cuts. It only had 2 settings but I thought It was amazing. The threads wore out and I needed a new one. For some reason it was no longer available. So in a rush I just ordered a handle that had some good reviews, mistake, this new handle made blades I have comfortably used for years feel like I was shaving with broken glass. I thought I better do some research to find something better. Once I pulled the Rockwell up and saw it had the same platform design with not only 2 settings but 6 available I knew I had to order it. I hesitated at the price , i'm a cheapskate, but with the money I was saving by using the double edge blades and not the cartridges the Rockwell would pay for itself. They were not kidding about setting #1 being a good place for beginners. I tried it and still got a great shave. I think you could literally shave the fuzz off of a peach and not damage it. I recommend you try all 6 setting for a couple of times, I was surprised at the number I actually ended up liking the most. You will just feel "in the groove" when you hit the right plate number. Another thing I like is the weight of the handle. You don't need to push hard, just let the weight of the head do the work. It is nice there are no mechanical moving parts like some adjustable razors, once it's tightened the blade is stable without any variations. Do yourself and your face a favor and give this handle a try, it will be money well spent.

Review: No lo he probado con gran variedad de navajas aún pero ha sido muy efectivo y el hecho de que tenga distintos niveles lo hace versátil ya sea para un rasurado que permita hacerlo diario sin irritación a uno muy efectivo, actualizare más adelante pero los materiales se ven bastante bien, no he tenido cuidado especial con el más que lo normal y ha mantenido su aspecto y funcionalidad.

Review: Yesterday I had the best shave of my life!I've had my eye on this razor for a couple of years, but I owned other razors like the Merkur 34C, Edwin Jagger DE89, a Parker 99R butterfly... and I thought it would be a waste of money to buy another razor. How many razors does a man need? Well, the Merkur 34C handle broke off the head (simply from twisting it on too firmly - did not drop it) and I never warmed up to the Parker (allowed way to much blade flex and "skipping"), so I was down to just the Jagger. I liked the Jagger, but never loved it. I got decent shaves but invariably had minor razor burn and/or weepers. It wasn't a big deal, but I wasn't eager to shave, and so only did so every few days. This confused me, because the DE89 is considered a very mild razor.So yes, it was time to try something new. I decided that I wanted something adjustable because I had a theory that maybe a mild razor wasn't the best choice for me. Rather than buy an aggressive razor and possibly regret it, adjustable was the obvious choice and I already had my eye on the Rockwell, so... cha-ching... Amazon.For the initial shaves I went with the #2 and #3 plates. I would say the #3 is pretty close to the Edwin Jagger DE89 regarding aggressiveness. The shave quality/comfort is a bit better though. With the #2, I could easily shave carelessly and have zero burn, but not a very close shave, either. Various blades were used, but I won't get into the weeds on that topic.The perfect shave: So yesterday I decided to bring things up a notch - the #4 plate, with 2 days growth. I loaded a new Shark DE blade with the #4. Showered, applied Proraso green pre-shave cream, lathered up some Proraso green soap and then proceeded, using almost zero pressure because I was intimidated by the more aggressive plate. First pass, WTG, AMAZING! Smooth as silk! Second pass, ATG, AMAZING! No razor burn, extremely close shave, BBS, one extremely minor weeper that stopped with cold water. Even my neck, which typically gets pretty irritated, felt fantastic. Finished up with Proraso green after shave and I was grinning from ear to ear.My only regret is that I didn't buy this razor first, years ago when I switched from cartridges to DE.
