Hello all. Thanks to David's lessons on shaving techniques with the Rockwell 6C razor, I had a phenomenal experience with mine just yesterday, and said to share it here: normally I just use 1 plate for one full shave, but for the first time, on my 5 days beard growth, I started the 1st pass with plate R6, then dialed down to R4 for the 2nd pass, and down to R2 for a 3rd pass and pick ups, and WOW! It was the smoothest, most irritation-free shave I have ever had! I believe it's a technique that will work wonders if you test it. Thanks again David.👍🏾😊
Ohio Shaves- I have watched at least 10 of your videos and learned from each of them! Almost 5 decades shaving, 99.99% with a cartridge and only a few with a DE. Following your advice I bought a 6S and some Feathers ( bc I am a sharp nut!). They arrived today and I can’t wait! Thank you for the education.
Thanks for the tip Ohio. I retired my Viking Chiftain. Had my first shave with Rockwell 6C on a six plate with a Russian Astra blade. That boy is smooth. What a difference. Why did I wait so long ? Lol.
I'm glad to see how much you are enjoying your razor. I hope that everyone gets that level of satisfaction from traditional shaving. I think most people would agree that it's hard to go wrong with a 6C or 6S. I personally don't think it's the best razor but I'll also say I've never had a bad shave with one. What will be interesting to see is how you feel about it once you have tried other options. I am enjoying your videos. Have a good day!
@@OhioShaves That's a tough one. I am on a bit of an adjustable DE razor kick and the Merkur Progress was a big surprise to me. I wasn't expecting to like it nearly as much as I do. Outside of that, I have consistently had my best shaves with SE razors so injectors, GEMs, and Artist Club. I'd say that GEMs are my overall favorite with the GEM Junior sitting on top. Most people agree not to switch things up too much at first. You are loving the Rockwell so I say stick with it until you have a reason to try something else. If anything, maybe try some different blades or soaps if you want to mix things up. Just my $0.02.
I picked this up last week, and boy I hate myself for waiting this long. My only thought is do I upgrade to the 6S at any point. Lol. Your videos are the best done and always very informative.
I start wet shaving in October 2022 with a Van der Hagen, try different blades and soaps and used to cut & irritate myself a lot, thanks to this video I ordered the Rockwell 6C and Today (January 21st ,2023) I just had the best shaving of my life, no cuts no irritation. I used the blades that come with the razor and can't wait to try some Astra or Feather on it. BIG THANKS to Ohio Shaves for this videos.👍👍
Definitely a bad ass razor!! I finally bought one and just did my first shave. I used a number 3 plate on one side then bumped it up to a number 4 on the other side and for the rest of my 3 pass shave. VERY IMPRESSED!!! I’ve been a Henson lover but I’m thinking this razor probably just bumped it out of its number one spot. Thanks to you and your awesome shaving videos!!! Keep up the good work!!!
@@casehunter8376How are you liking the 6C, 9 months later? I’m looking to buy one, and I’m seeing if i should pony up for the 6S. Everyone says get the 6S, but the C is so much cheaper.
@@Tristin471 I ended up buying the 6S lol. I should have just went for it from the start. I really like it a lot but I think my all time favorite is the Henson AL-13. Both give excellent shaves. Heck the 6C gives an excellent shave too as far as that goes.
In your honor, I used a 6 plate with a Rapira Platinum Lux yesterday. Usually a 6 is a stretch for me but I had a great shave. I may be going more aggressive than normal in the future. After years, I’m still experimenting.
This video was at the top when I searched "Rockwell 6c," so I'll post my review of it here: EXCELLENT!!! I've been using a Parker 71r for about a year on my face and head, and it never failed to leave me looking like I was mauled by alley cats. I figured for a while that I just needed to refine my technique, so I persisted with it, but it never really got better. I finally ordered the Rockwell 6c and used the #3 plate, and it is absolutely amazing. Very smooth and forgiving compared to the Parker, and just a pleasure to use. My scalp and face are smooth to the touch and are not even irritated, much less nicked all over, like with the Parker. I may expirament with the other plates, but if all I had was the #3, then I'd be content. I'm a cheapskate, so I just use barbasol foam. I realize that my experience with the Parker may have been better if I had tried it with a better shaving cream/soap or whatever, but I have no need for that now with the Rockwell. Also, I've only been using Astra SP blades because they are cheap and generally get good reviews. I was previously wondering if I had a bad batch of them, but the rockwell now confirms that they are just fine. If anyone ever asks me what kind of razor they should get, I'll, without hesitation, recommend the Rockwell 6c!
Bro you were not lying! I got my 6C today. Hands down the best smoothest DE razor I’ve tried yet. It’s almost too easy 😂😂 makes a muhle r89 laughable in comparison. I was BBS yesterday so I just used a 3 & 2 plates today. Normally if I shave ED I get irritated easily. The 6c did not bother me shaving next day & that says a lot! I’m going to get my wife a rose gold one if she likes mine as much as I do. This is the perfect all around razor. Changing the base plate is easier mid shave then I figured. I just grabbed the end tabs and top cap together and swapped the base plate. Easy peasy. I have 13+DE razors & this 6c impresses me the most. If you like blade feel this is not the razor for you!

And we have another convert ! So glad to see that the Rockwell 6C is working so well for you. You just can't stop admiring it , ain't it ? :D I would really think that upgrading to a full ss Rockwell 6S would do a world of good being a heavier razor. The 6C is fantastic but the zinc alloy threads wear out fast :( Pretty upbeat to see another believer in riding the guard. The guard provides a great way to micro fine tune the angle and the pressure I am on my 34th shave with a feather blade, currently using a merkur progress after a month of timeless slim titanium razor and cella block shave soap lather. Riding the guard mastery enabled me to unleash the longevity of the blade. Enjoy those shaves!
Riding the guard has definitely improved the quality of my shave especially in my neck area. My first pass normally didn't take much down. Now riding the guard it seems like it takes off a whole Lotta hair. Thanks for the tips
Another great Shave! I personally love the Rockwell Blades, especially on my head. If I could only pick one DE Razor to use, the Rockwell 6C would be the one. As you have stated, you really can't miss with that razor and any blade. Great Job!! Some blades mow it all down on pass one, but many need 2-3 passes to get to BBS. I like to mix it up and go with a mild setting or razor just so I can appreciate setting 6 and its efficiency. As far as the finish on the 34C, I would be emailing the company and see if they can help you out. Have a great weekend! 💈🪒🍁
Here is one of my favourite You tubers, Paul H. Films with a Sunday Morning shave, featuring the Rockwell 6C, using all 3 plates. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/nitYn1z5Auk/w-d-xo.html
I've only been DE shaving for about a year, but got hooked and started building an assortment of razors. Based on your reviews and others, I grabbed a 6c from Rockwell's website on a Black Friday deal. Yep, the hype is real! This darn thing is amazing. After using multi-blade junk for decades (yes, I bought the hype forever), I love all my DE razors. But the 6c is special with the #5 plate. I may work up the courage to try a #6 plate after a few days of growth. I've dared try my grandfather's straight razor a couple of times, so how hard can it be? 😂
@@OhioShaves thank you very much! That’s good to know. Do you have a blade recommendation? Doing some basic research into blade sharpness and effectiveness after 1st use and many of them look great. What have you found to be most consistent?
That’s a great question personna seem to be very consistent and the comfort coats are my favorite and they’re made in United States Gillette platinum Gillette silver blue used to be high on my list, but since they moved their manufacturing out of Russia, I cannot say they are good or bad anymore
If you can afford it go with the 6S it’s made in USA. I started with the 6C and liked it so much that I upgraded to the 6S. Both of these razors will make you a better shaver because they’re so easy to use which builds a ton of confidence.

@@OhioShaves Really? Awesome... If you're talking about the ones with the gold box (not the green), then those are some truly EXCELLENT blades, along with the Nacets.
Based on all your wonderful reviews I just purchased a 6C. I have about 60 razors in my collection so this will be my first rockwell. Just curious, how would you compare plate number 3 to other razors such as an Edwin Jagger or Merkur HD?
@@OhioShaves Thank you brother! I have a Merkur Progress and Futur. I also have a Parker Variant which I do not like because one side has terrible blade exposure (really off). I also have a few vintage Gillette Fatboys, Slims, and a Black Beauty which are phenomenal adjustable razors. I am very much intrigued with the different plate system for adjusting the razor setting/aggressiveness so this will be the first of this kind for me. I asked about plate 3 because if I like the razor I might just buy a 2C and always use it on plate 3. Thanks again for the feedback. And keep up the great work with all your videos. Right now you and Geo Fatboy are tied as the Kings of wet shaving on TH-cam. 😀
you should try an adjustable razor twisting adjustable that is. Then you can startoutt first pass really agressive and adjust down as you go :) have a nice Sunday
Great shaving! I've seen that your hair is really strong but in case you are using Rockwell 6c and it cant shave properly in aome areas - you may try Muehle R41 opened comb plates. Maybe you'll find better eficiently razor with less steps in shaving. Thanks again for such interesting review 🤝
@@OhioShaves so nice of you fro reply. Actually my shaving set is around 5-6 razors for different mood. If I want clear and mild shave - I use Mercur 34 slant/rockwell on 3d plate. If I want to shave all hear almost by 1 slide - I use Muehle R41/Rockwell 6c, Rapira razor. If I want eficiently and mild shaving - I use Homelike Start razor with 1.18 gap. But sometimes I use Fine Marvel razor. As my daily razor I prefer Homelikeshaving Baikal razor (a bit different type of razor alike Rockwell 6c). And for sure, Gillette King C and Gillette Super speed for holidays. But for sure - mercur and rockwell are the best choise as mild and relax shaves 💪
Nice Selection of razors. I’m a little jealous. I’m searching for a old Gillette fat boy just haven’t researched it enough to pull the trigger on one. I definitely need a Gillette razor in my rotation. Everybody seem to rave about all of them.
@@OhioShaves for sure, I've searched for Fatboy too, but it's hard to find it in good condition. I have 2 adjustable razors - Pearl Flexi and Yaqi adjustable. In my personal opinion - adjustable razors are cool as a begginers set to find out what is your line of agression. But after few weeks I became cold for those, because it started to be too predictable. But for sure - every razor have their own character. And Im gelaous about you, because it is not so simple to find out great shaving supplies in russia, Im even not telling you about how it is now (impossible). Well I'm glad that I found your channel and I asure you - Im looking forward for your reviews! Shaking your hand 🤝
I would go for the Rockwell. You being new to safety Razors it's going to give you six different razors and one. Here's a video when I talk about it in much more detail. th-cam.com/video/_2lS65WjW10/w-d-xo.html
@@OhioShaves Thanks for the advice.. Went ahead and ordered the Rockwell hoping for Close/Smooth shaves in the future.. Appreciate your videos for help with de shaving tips 👌
Great question. The Henson is easier to use, but the Rockwell is more versatile because it's adjustable. Basically, you're getting six different razors and one package
Cool. I've got a gunmetal 6C on order with a sample pack of blades (Astra green, Feather, GSB, G-Plat, Nacet, Voskhod, WilkSwd, BIC). This will be my first entry into the DE shaving world so I wanted to get a variety. So, as a beginner with sensitive skin, do you have any suggestions on blade/plate combo for my first run?
If your hair is pretty thick like mine, then I would start with the number three plate with a Astra green blade. If it feels too aggressive then switch to the #2 plate. The Astra and Voskhod are mild razor blades. My next video is going to be with a Voskhod blade using the #6 Plate. If you are not sure I would just put the Astra blade on the number one plate lather one side of your face and and give it a try. If it doesn't take off the hair on your face or it is pooling or tugging on the razor blade then I would move to a number three plate and work my way up as needed. You're probably going to settle in on the number two plate would be my guess that is comparable with a very mild razor like the Merkur 34c. You're going to find out that some blade manufacturers work better on your face than others. Most people lean towards astra blades to start out. Remember to use very light pressure on the razor. This is not thing like using a disposable razor where you have to press firm. Take small strokes and take your time. It takes a bit of getting used to but after a few shaves you'll have it and that's when I would experiment with different blades. But you do have 3 plates and 6 levels of aggression on the Rockwell, so use them. To me that's the advantage of buying the Rockwell over the 34C. You have way more options with the Rockwell. Happy shaving and what let me know how things work out.
I'm still a novice wet shaver. I only have two razors, the Merkur 34-C and the Rockwell 6S. I like the Wilkinson Swords in the Merkur and the Silver Blue in the Rockwell. I still try some of the other blades, and do enjoy feeling the differences, but I know what works best for me.
Good day looking to get the 6c or variant. Read the the 6c tread slip after time and the variant losing tention. Have you experienced any problems? I have the qshave clone nou. Mainly for head shaving.
@@NickzAndMikz every one different ...i set the rockwell with plate number 4....the sharks dont seem to work in the 61 fat boy i got....but work great in the rockwell

In my personal opinion - adjustable razors are cool as a begginers set to find out what is your line of agression. But after few weeks I became cold for those, because it started to be too predictable. But for sure - every razor have their own character. And Im gelaous about you, because it is not so simple to find out great shaving supplies in russia, Im even not telling you about how it is now (impossible). Well I'm glad that I found your channel and I asure you - Im looking forward for your reviews! Shaking your hand 🤝
Would you reckon this razor for beginners ? Very sensitive skin for de shaving.. Can't decide on this razor or Merkur 37c
I would go for the Rockwell. You being new to safety Razors it's going to give you six different razors and one. Here's a video when I talk about it in much more detail. th-cam.com/video/_2lS65WjW10/w-d-xo.html
@@OhioShaves Thanks for the advice.. Went ahead and ordered the Rockwell hoping for Close/Smooth shaves in the future.. Appreciate your videos for help with de shaving tips 👌
Would the henson al13 mild be as good? Or is this better?
Great question. The Henson is easier to use, but the Rockwell is more versatile because it's adjustable. Basically, you're getting six different razors and one package
@@OhioShaves But as far as the overall shave of both. Would you say it's tied?
Yes@@nomad1517
Cool. I've got a gunmetal 6C on order with a sample pack of blades (Astra green, Feather, GSB, G-Plat, Nacet, Voskhod, WilkSwd, BIC). This will be my first entry into the DE shaving world so I wanted to get a variety. So, as a beginner with sensitive skin, do you have any suggestions on blade/plate combo for my first run?
Awesome, good for you! How thick is your facial hair? How many days growth?
If your hair is pretty thick like mine, then I would start with the number three plate with a Astra green blade. If it feels too aggressive then switch to the #2 plate. The Astra and Voskhod are mild razor blades. My next video is going to be with a Voskhod blade using the #6 Plate. If you are not sure I would just put the Astra blade on the number one plate lather one side of your face and and give it a try. If it doesn't take off the hair on your face or it is pooling or tugging on the razor blade then I would move to a number three plate and work my way up as needed. You're probably going to settle in on the number two plate would be my guess that is comparable with a very mild razor like the Merkur 34c. You're going to find out that some blade manufacturers work better on your face than others. Most people lean towards astra blades to start out. Remember to use very light pressure on the razor. This is not thing like using a disposable razor where you have to press firm. Take small strokes and take your time. It takes a bit of getting used to but after a few shaves you'll have it and that's when I would experiment with different blades. But you do have 3 plates and 6 levels of aggression on the Rockwell, so use them. To me that's the advantage of buying the Rockwell over the 34C. You have way more options with the Rockwell. Happy shaving and what let me know how things work out.
@@OhioShaves It's not light... maybe medium? I'd probably attempt it after a single day to be on the safe side.
@@OhioShaves Thanks for the tips! I'll give the Astra/1 combo a try to start as you suggest.
Better than Henson?
The ability to swap out plates for six different settings in one razor is definitely a advantage
I'm still a novice wet shaver. I only have two razors, the Merkur 34-C and the Rockwell 6S. I like the Wilkinson Swords in the Merkur and the Silver Blue in the Rockwell. I still try some of the other blades, and do enjoy feeling the differences, but I know what works best for me.
The Rockwell 6’s made me a better shaver. What about you?
how long zamak razors like that usually will last?
I don't understand the question
Good day looking to get the 6c or variant. Read the the 6c tread slip after time and the variant losing tention. Have you experienced any problems? I have the qshave clone nou. Mainly for head shaving.
No problems so far
Yep ...they sure got it right .
What blade do you like to use?
@@OhioShaves shark blades ..
@@markboland2545What plate on the Rockwell? Sharks were super dull for me and pulled a lot. Kind of painful
@@NickzAndMikz every one different ...i set the rockwell with plate number 4....the sharks dont seem to work in the 61 fat boy i got....but work great in the rockwell
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. How would you describe your beard and how often do you shave?@@markboland2545
Better then 6s??
less $$$
Bro, ive heard da Rockwell 6c and 6s polished is da best of the best
You got that right. I heard the 6C glides a little smoother than the 6S. Love this razor
@@OhioShaves yes, some companies offer a process or coating for the 6s to make it smoother. Razor Emporium is one of them
Yes, but The 6c is a smoother shaver is what I hear?
