I purchased and now use a Rockwell 6C based on this video. It has been a month's worth of unbeatable shaves. One trick I learned is using a higher setting on the razor as the blade dulls.
I just got the 6c and shaved on 3 with a persona blade and it was hands down the most comfortable shave ever. I've only had the vanderhagen razor and it's night and day different!
I’d love to get the 6S version myself, although it’s a bit out of my budget range just now. I did hear Geofatboy say that in a side by side comparison the 6C was smoother on his face. I think I’ve definitely decided on the 6S over my other choice, the RazoRock Game Changer .84P!
Hi Nick. Great to see you back. Been to long. DR Harris seems like a great soap. Never heard anyone say anything bad about it. Looking forward to the English shave shop tours. Thank you.
Hi Nick- Great shave today; thank you! Great line-up of shave products, as well. Excellent to see you back on camera; always a pleasure! Please take good care and best regards!
Hey NIck. Good to see you again on video. I have the DR Harris Arlington and like it a lot so I just ordered the Windsor too. Thanks for contributing to me over spending on an unneccessary additional soap!, LOL
Great shave! Plate 4 in the 6c is my favorite one as well. Maybe I’ll throw in a feather and rock(well) it out as well. Hope the job hunt is going well. Best of luck with that. Have a great week.
tried the plate 4 after using the 3 for a while. plate 4 shredded my face with a new astas blade, not alot of irritation but just getting cut. think ill stick with 3 for a while or lower.
Glad to see you again, Nick! Excellent shave as always. It's was a clever trick to shave across the grain few times. I should give it a try. Thank you!
Hi Nick you talk about taking a shower to clean out and hydrate your facial hair but I have noticed that you rinse your face in the same water that you are rinsing your razor so aren't you putting all the old lather and bristles back to your face?. Wouldn't it be better and cleaner to rinse your face in fresh clean water unless you have 2 basins that we can't see.
Great shave. I also plan to go to London sometime in several years, and there I might check out shaving shops too. I always go against the grain on my final pass since my skin always handles it. I'm not mad at anyone if they can't go against the grain because it's a matter of personal preference
Welcome back 💈👍 Nice video. Rockwell 6c and setting 4 👍 I have a love/hate relationship with Feather. Sharp as hell but it feels kind of rough. I dont go above setting 2 or 3 with a Feather
Nice to see you back Nick , I've been wondering when you'd re-appear. Good review and interesting to see the blade buffing. I don't have a really heavy growth so not sure if it would be appropriate on my face , perhaps I'll give that technique a miss for now. I haven't tried that soap but it does look it provides an excellent lather. I agree with you about subsequent pass lathering , I tend to lather good on the first pass then ease off with a thinner coating on the second , I very rarely require a third when using feather blades. I look forward to seeing your post London video and comments. Best wishes to you.
Great shave Nick, looked smooth to me. Osage Rub, Cat O' Nine Tails or Snake Bite will wake you up for sure. Nice! Looking forward to more super shaves and product reviews. Enjoy!
just ordered that rockwell 6c razor never used one before right now i am useing harrys disposable which is very good but cant wait to get my rockwell 6c just need a good bowl any ideas thanks john
Another great video, Nick! Thanks! Bought the Tallow and Steel Boreal soap from your previous video, and love it. Might have to try this DR Harris soap, too.
Must have steel wool stubble...feather on a 4 setting is like shaving with a light saber...do like my Astra Green...keep some feathers for 4 day stubble...
Recommendation for London: The south bank of the Thames between Westminster and Millennium Bridge (opposite side from Big Ben) and then either go to the Tate gallery or cross the bridge and go to Saint Pauls Cathedral.
Hey could you make a video talking about best beginner shaving gear (budget and easily accessible internationally)? I got me and my boys into wet shaving and we are in Pakistan so we generally only can find brands like nivea or gillette. Also keep up the good work got into wet shaving through your channel!!!!
excellent shave nick hurts that you can not do shaves in Spanish would be great, and so know much more the world of classic shaving! thanks a lot!!! Greetings as always from Argentina!
Thanks for sharing the video, Nick. I have a love/hate experience with Feather blades...mostly hate. ;) It depends upon the razor. That soap looks like a winner!
Hi Nick.. Can I ask you a question? Im looking to start using a safety razor for shaving... could you tell me what your all time favorite cream/soap is and aftershave? Also, would you recommend I prep my skin with any kind of oil or lotion or something before I shave or is just wetting my face sufficient? If you think I should put something on my face before I shave what would you recommend? Finally, I have hard water where I live in case that affects anything you would recommend. Thank you for your time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Glad to see you back and thank you for another great video. How do you store all the 4 pieces of the Rockwell? Does the razor come with a case or a box? I do believe this razor will be a great collectible item due to its uniqueness, great performance and the future rarity of the complete sets available.
If you have hard water some soaps can be difficult to lather the soap has to work against it which can lead to weak lather/lubricity. I live in area with very hard water I lather up with a quarter cup of distilled water problem solved.
straight up and down on the cheeks against the grain is the smoothest you will ever feel it come out, mirror finish and oddly more gentle on the skin... grid vid bro!
I’m bald and never shaved with a Safety Razor. In your opinion, which razor would you recommend, for a face and head shave? Really been looking at the Rockwell 6c/6s or the Merkur 34c. I would think an adjustable razor would be a smarter choice?? Appreciate the advice!
Nice shave. Noticed you did not use Nivea aftershave balm. All the other videos I have watched you always use Nivea Any particular reason ? Happy thanksgiving
Similarly, I will shave one pass with and one pass against with an aggressive razor/blade combination on my face and two passes following the grain on my neck with a mild razor/aggressive blade combination as my neck is highly susceptible to ingrown hairs and irritation.
Nick , a question if I may. I know you are a huge fan of the Merkur 34c HD and have seen you singing it's praises on many of your videos. I have never used that razor but do have a Merkur 33c Classic in my collection, which I absolutely love and it delivers consistently good results. My question is around the similarity of these razors. I understand the 34c to be a 2 piece and the 33c is a 3 piece design. Are the head angles and blade exposure very similar on these razors ? I hear so many good things about the 34c but wonder if it's different enough from the 33c to make it a worthwhile purchase , or will I simply getting the same shave?
For me I find that my skin gets super irritated if I don't shave against the grain. I'm gonna make the switch to safety razors soon. The fact that I'm using cartridge razors probably doesn't help either.
I just got a rockwell 6c razor and i out the green gillitle 7 o clock super stainless made in russia blades... And when i tried the blade on level 3 i still cant get it to shave my face.. What is the secret to getting this razor to work ? I come from cartidges/disposal razors and i tried the rockwell and i just cant seem to get it to work any tips on what i am doing wrong ? Also i use shaving cream (no soap)
Hi, if you read simpson's instructions, it says to don't swirl the brush when you put lather on your face. Since I got mine, it kept shedding a lot and start to have a doughnut hole so be careful. As is it for me, I will never buy simpson's brush again

Same here
I’ve also been only using a VanDerHagen for about 8 years and I’m seriously considering getting a 6C. Great to see that it’s worked out well for you!
@@robertjohnson3973 oh man it's an awesome razor! You should definitely get one! I'd like to get the 6s stainless version myself!
I’d love to get the 6S version myself, although it’s a bit out of my budget range just now. I did hear Geofatboy say that in a side by side comparison the 6C was smoother on his face.

Wow! Great to see you, after so long. Brilliant.
I always do WTG, XTG, & ATG every shave. Glad your back and can't wait for more videos!!! :)
6:05 how'd that taste? Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice to see you back, Nick. I really like my Rockwell 6C. The precision is awesome. Bring on the "Best of 2017!"
You are the first "on TH-cam"
shaver I have seen that did not use both sides of the blade between blade rinses.
Hi, next time, please, try test Henson AL13 mild or medium. I already have Rockwell 6C, very good.
Nice shave. Been using the R3 plate but I'm having trouble getting a good shave. I guess I have to keep practicing.
Nick we miss you so much bro. Please drop a reply 😭😭😭
Hi Nick. Great to see you back. Been to long. DR Harris seems like a great soap. Never heard anyone say anything bad about it. Looking forward to the English shave shop tours. Thank you.
I may try a feather in my Rockwell 6C,thanks for the videos.😀
Hi Nick- Great shave today; thank you! Great line-up of shave products, as well. Excellent to see you back on camera; always a pleasure! Please take good care and best regards!
I just used Windsor the whole month of January. It's great. Next month is truefitt and hill.
I'm really thinking in buy the Rockwell 6c
Good too see you around shaving
Good to see you back in action!
Nice shave! Really like the Rockwell as DE razors. 😍💈🪒
*This guy eats the soaps at **6:05** ahahahahahaha*
Rockwell 6C with a Feather blade gives me a superb shave.
Happy to here you are doing the new shave of the year gear video! Looking forward to it
Nice to see you back.

Great Combo ..I like The 6C with a feather 💈
Good to have you back buddy, hope life's treating you well.
Super looking forward to the potential video tour of the London shave scene!

I have a love/hate relationship with Feather.
Sharp as hell but it feels kind of rough.

Where u been nick? You never post videos
Anymore
was thinking the same thing

Great shave nick u should know that against the grain is the real deal to have total bss.
Great shave Nick! Good insight on a soap I have been looking at.
Long time no see! Glad to have you back!
With, across and against the grain with size 4!
Why not with size 5, across size 3, against size 1?
I've often gone with size 6 & against size 1.
The plate 1 barely cuts anything.
How many shave 🪒 you get out of the feather blade ? Before you get rid of it ? I also i the 6 C that’s why I ask. Just curious would like to know.
Great shave Nick, looked smooth to me. Osage Rub, Cat O' Nine Tails or Snake Bite will wake you up for sure. Nice! Looking forward to more super shaves and product reviews. Enjoy!
Great shave Nick 👍

Do you have a hair routine? Would be interested in seeing it if you do!

So is the Rockwell 6c your new favorite?

I love the snakebite, my favorite AS!
Do soaps give a better lather than creams?
excellent shave nick hurts that you can not do shaves in Spanish would be great, and so know much more the world of classic shaving! thanks a lot!!! Greetings as always from Argentina!
What kindve cologne did you wear? Some dior savauge, aqua di gio profumo, bleu de chanel?
Thanks for sharing the video, Nick.

due to its uniqueness, great performance and the future rarity of the complete sets available.
Could you do a review of the Nivea Sensitive Skin Shave Gel in the can, and how it compares to the cream in the tube?
Geez that’s about as good of a face lather as one can hope for. Nice!
What determines the slickness in a shaving cream/soap, and which ones would you recommend. My face soakes up lather like creazy
Does alcohol-based products dry your
face ?
Good videos as always !
Hi, Nick, I have a question about the types of razors. What are your thoughts on butterfly safety razors? If you like them, any recommendations?
Can somebody explain the hard water soft water comment??
If you have hard water some soaps can be difficult to lather the soap has to work against it which can lead to weak lather/lubricity. I live in area with very hard water I lather up with a quarter cup of distilled water problem solved.
@@nyquil07na38 but what makes water "hard" or "soft"
straight up and down on the cheeks against the grain is the smoothest you will ever feel it come out, mirror finish and oddly more gentle on the skin... grid vid bro!
Welcome back 👍
Excellent shave Nick! Glad to see you're able to go ATG in some areas! Looking forward to your Gear of the Year video!
When you go to the UK, Why don't you visit Scotland
What about olive oil
Great Shave Brotha 💈😁🤙🏼💈Glad to see you going against the grain.
I found the same thing. I can only go against the grain on my sideburns and cheeks. How is the fellowship search going?
On the neck is just horrible......
Hey, you're alive!!
Great to have you back! Nice video, as always. Still waiting for REUZEL review :)

I use the leaf razor for head shaves. I love it.
Love the Rockwell
Nice shave. Noticed you did not use Nivea aftershave balm. All the other videos I have watched you always use Nivea Any particular reason ? Happy thanksgiving

Cannot wait for my Rockwell Model T to arrive so I can use one razor and blade for all my shaves.

Exact same head basically
Nick,
How do you dry you brushes?
Nice shave 💈👍👊💈
White chrome and gun metal (Rockwell razors).
You should go by a barbershop named "Ruffians" if you need a haircut or shave while you're in London! I've heard a lot about it.
What deodorant??
Also very curious.
Great shave. Good to see you again. Did you finally get that last little bit of soap off the neck there buddy? lol
nick nicks should be his username. Get it??? Cause he’s always cutting himself in his shaving review videos!
Bro getting them gains
Nice
For me I find that my skin gets super irritated if I don't shave against the grain. I'm gonna make the switch to safety razors soon. The fact that I'm using cartridge razors probably doesn't help either.
I LOVE my Rockwell. But a Feather?? Actually their blades are very similar to Feathers. I like my ASTRAs.
welcome again :)
16:35 that’s what she said
The other Rockwell (6S) is in Stainless Steel and is made in the USA, whereas the 6C is made in China
And Rockwell is a Canadian company. Go figure
ATG...It's the only way my shave's are truly BBS and I can still pull off not shaving for the early shift after a late night shift
Good to see you, Doc.
I just got a rockwell 6c razor and i out the green gillitle 7 o clock super stainless made in russia blades...
And when i tried the blade on level 3 i still cant get it to shave my face..
What is the secret to getting this razor to work ? I come from cartidges/disposal razors and i tried the rockwell and i just cant seem to get it to work any tips on what i am doing wrong ?

Hi, how often do i need to replace my rockwell blades? I usually shave once a week
Probably around 2-4 shaves.
Nick, are you in Medicine as a profession? Just curious as to your terminology lol 😁
He doesn't usually answer comments but iirc somewhere he is a pediatrician
Hi, if you read simpson's instructions, it says to don't swirl the brush when you put lather on your face. Since I got mine, it kept shedding a lot and start to have a doughnut hole so be careful. As is it for me, I will never buy simpson's brush again
Hello, please put your camera nearest the face! Thanks.
Great shave Nick! Missed you a lot with the vids. Hopefully you are doing well! Hope to see you in vids again soon!
