Man I love your videos! There are a lot of copycats out there but you the man! I used to use cartridge but thanks to your videos I’ve learned how to properly shave now, thank you. 👍

Great video. I have been thinking about the Rockwell 6s for a while and your video sealed the deal. I wish I had your technique. You make it so effortless.

A very excellent way to demonstrate the different blade exposure settings. Well done video!

Nice video ..thanks..I just ordered mine even though I have 2 different Merkur progressive razors already...the reviews I read about this Rockwell 6S is unbelievable. I can't wait to try it out.

so i just gotta toot a bugle here as an independent wet shaver and product reviewer. i have never talked to geofatboy nor have we ever communicated. this is my first post on any of his videos to my knowledge. i just ordered a Rockwell 6S from shavenation.com in the wee hours of tuesday morning this week. it was sent out that same day from near chicago. i live in north central illinois. 2 days later on thursday it was delivered (post office sent it down to hazelwood missouri to a sorting center then to my place which is standard procedure). I found the price the same as what every other place charges for the Rockwell 6S. I haven't used the razor yet but i am more than pleased with the speed shave nation and geofatboy operate and serve customers. When my rockwell arrived it was in a gift box that was shrink wrapped. that was put in a bag, which was then in turn put in a shipping box, which was then in turn put in a shipping envelope. So it was very well packed to say the least. I can't remember, but i believe it was delivered priority mail. It came in perfect condition, very quickly, and even came with a shave nation sticker which i didn't know i was going to get but will now proudly display somewhere where people will see. If you're looking to buy any shaving supplies through the mail there's lots of places to go. But i am more than pleased to highly recommend shave nation to anyone for their stellar service. thank you to geofatboy for making online shopping (something i hate) a little easier for me. From now on your website will be in my bookmarks of places to order from. Also thanks for all your videos which have really helped me (along with some other's youtube videos) to progress in my skill, and knowledge of wet shaving. I'd like to add that this recommendation I'm writing was not solicited or requested by shave nation or geofatboy himself. Out of my own gumption I'm posting this to encourage anyone on the fence about ordering, to order because they will be satisfied with the service provided by shave nation. thank you for reading this. and i hope it helps someone else and also the business of shave nation.

Thank you for this great video. I have the 6c that I like 'cause the finish. I had the steps wrong Now I have them right.

Astras are also my blade of choice; nothing else has been as long-lasting and yet super sharp and still forgiving in my experience. Even shaving my whole body I end up replacing the blade only due to bacterial concerns rather than loss of sharpness unlike other esteemed blades like feather which never seemed to work too well or long on my skin or hair. 1/3 the cost with Astras too. Tempted to get one of these eventually... I upgraded from a merkur 23c to a Futur and really like how much closer of a shave I can get with it and don't think I'll ever look back from more aggressive razors now that I got used to it. Funny how immediately my 23c felt like it was so easy mode to use and so careful to my skin once I used the futur on 5/6 for a few days. I have very thick hair that's like hard needles, and also don't like spending so much time going over the same areas. With my 23c my neck always had stubble and I never knew it could get smooth. I like that the Futur has less pieces than the Rockwell 6S, but I like that the 6S has knurling and the head makes it seem like it's easier to tell where the blade really is. I have trouble doing some precise shaving with the futur at times, and that's really tempting me to try out the 6S once I'm comfortable committing to the cost. Love the really wide gap/trough on the futur that makes it feel like I hardly have to rinse it as well. I get a lot more done more swiftly. Both beautiful looking razors, but I think the 6S has a more classic look I adore. I just wonder how close it can get compared to the futur I'm growing used to.

Thanks mate, good thorough review.

Another great video Geo. Great job.

😊 Thank you for your review. Shaving with the 6s in red for the very first time today. After Watching I realize where I may have made a mistake with this razor. On 2 days of growth my intention was to be very mild. Started on 1 and wasent cutting it so i moved to 2. I ended up with a little more than usaul razor burn when i shouldve moved to 3 the step up. It is confusing but the sequence on this razor is 132456. I think they had to do it this way due to the machineing and the spacing of the bars on either side and what was possoble to accomplish. Still a very nice razor and alot of other factors could have came into play. Enjoy your videos❤and thanks again.

I think they produce the plates 1/3 and not 1/2 , because they are selling the razor as Rockwell 2S too. It has only this plate in it. If they produce 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 they have to make the plate especially for the 2S. I think that could be the reason... Thanks for the great Video!!! Jens

Thank you geo for letting me know

I just revieved mine today. 2 days of growth at 53year old i clogged it using number 1 plate. I followed the instructions as i was using an electric razor. I will try a higher plate number.

Thank you very much for this nice and useful video.

Looking forward to the Model T. I considered the 6a and 6c a few times but agree that the swapping plates idea is goofy. When I use my Gillette Slim I change the settings based on the direction like you did here and it just isn't convenient to take apart the razor over and over.

The 1/3, 2/4, 5/6 configuration stems from the fact that their 2c series used 1/3 - it is a continuation of that standard, and allows for the company to use the 1/3 guard for either their 2c or 6c, and in respect of the 6s, just to continue with that established standard. With respect your gripe is a minor nitpick, whereas the standard they adopted was well thought out in many facets. Cheers.

I think the reason the plates are made that way is that on one of the razor kits, you only get one plate with the most commonly used settings (1 & 3).

Hey Geo. I was wondering if you would/could do a video about all of your absolute favorite products of each shaving necessity (DE razors, safety razors, straight razors, etc.) I recall from a previous video that the TOBS sandalwood is a favorite of yours and I would be lying if I said that knowing that didn't affect my decision to buy some recently. A video like that would be helpful for people getting back into legitimate shaving to use as a baseline. Thank you!!

@Geofatboy I am new to safety razors, coming from cartridge razors and have been very overwhelmed with options and not knowing really where to begin. Thank you so much for your videos! They are helping me tremendously! I had my eye on the Rex Ambassador or the XL version of the same razor, but I wasn't sure I wanted to drop so much money and had no idea what finish to get it in, especially as a n00b. I discovered the Rockwell 6S and have been possibly eyeballing as my first foray into safety razors. What do you think about that or do you have a different recommendation, please?

Nice video, thanks. I have a a Feather (Japanese Style) that is my daily razor. But I have a Merker Futur that I use when I'm traveling overseas (which saves me a lot of hassle). But I have a goatee, and when I use the Futur, my goatee expands, and I find it a little difficult to keep it trimmed back without an electric trimmer. Do you have any tips on keeping a goatee trimmed back with a safety razor? Best Regards, Tom Aaron

Love the vids, I am considering taking up DE shaving after years of using an electric shaver. Some advise would be good and appreciated, I have been researching and was looking at the EJ DE89 black 3d diamond, as this appears to be a good starter DE. But have read good reviews about the Rockwell 6s. I appreciate there is a slight price difference, but I suffer with sensitive skin and have suffered with eczema in the past and appreciate any advise. I am a daily shaver.. I would appreciate any advise and understand it can be down to personal preference, but you appear to have good knowledge about DE razors, but not necessarily about eczema, so understand if that may be difficult.. Cheers.

Well done~~think I'm going to order, was into DEs years ago and went back to cartridge. I want to get good enough to NOT nick a mole I've got on my cheek....any tips welcome!

I've wath a lot of video from you , I've been using gilette cartridge rasor for about 20 years and now since 1 month I'm using DE safety razor to cult price of shaving my beard !!! I've bought as my first rasor Rockwell R1 because I didn't wont to pay much for my 1st razor in case I didn't like the wet shaving !!! My question is wich razor would you suggest me between rockwell 6c and merkur 34c or maybe something better for my sensitive skin because I get a lot of razor cut and my skin burn if I shave my beard against the grain !!! Tkx

Now with the Coronavirus and not being able to get to barbershop for shave, is this a good razor for a first timer. A newbie to shaving

Nice review! My Rockwell is my favorite razor. While watching one of your videos, my grandson asked, "Why do you like watching that guy shave?" I had to explain. Part of it is the review, but I have to admit I just like watching you shave.

I’m thinking of getting the 6S, which of the 6 plates would be comparable to the EJ DE89? That my current razor. It’s fine as a daily but too mild if I have a few days growth so I’m looking for some thing more aggressive.

I checked my 6S with a magnet. It is strongly attracted by the knurled parts and almost no attraction to the smooth areas. Seems like two different metals.

Everyone keeps telling me how great the Rockwell 6s is, might have to go ahead and get one. I’ve also thought about buying a Simpsons “Chubby” but is it worth it? I’ve recently been using a Commodore X2 but really what’s the difference between the both other than handles?

best regards friend !! from Argentina Latin America, you have a beautiful enviable collection, I admire in fact the products of such high category you have, unfortunately here in my country anything like that you can get to get, having to resort to the online market and paying fortune for any product, no more I send a warm hug geofatboy

18:30... Honestly I ended up getting the Rockwell one because of not having moving parts that can break over time where the only thing you risk breaking is the threads. Sure adjustable is more convenient than interchangeable but it also comes at the cost of more points in which the device can break and fail. Which yeah you would hope that companies have good enough quality to where that is a non issue, but with how easy knockoffs end up getting to places that should have good QC it is always a gamble unless you are buying direct from the manufacturer themselves and not a 3rd party retail store.

Is this razor more EFFICIENT at removing those really annoying tough areas than the R41 is? It would've been good to see how the razor performs at the plates below 5/6 when shaving against the grain, for a better perspective.
