The numbers alignment is because it's most likely to go 6-4-2,or 5-3-1, and you will rotate only two pisces.

[@tomsterr1904]

This is razor is in my opinion perfect razor. Simple but durable design. The finishing is so manly and the most important thing is that it shaves so smoooooooothly. Unbelievable design from those Rockwell inventors! They really made it big. They gonna be millioninaires ;)

[@geofatboy]

They hope you're right!

[@paulstevens2839]

I recently purchased the 6S. It shaves beyond my expectations. I have had 0 cuts so far. I started on the #3 plate for first shave then tried plate #4 which seems to do best for me. Its nice to know I still have 2 higher settings I can use.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Loop! That's the beauty of an adjustable razor-flexibility!

[@Mralex3281]

Have you tried the supply razor? They both look like a tie in performance to me

[@StingofTruth]

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.

[@tut08]

Lol, this is the first video of his I've watched and as soon as he started talking I was like, DAMN you can tell he's from Chicago.

first shave on this razor for me today, on 6 & 4, and I've got to say I'm impressed. I tend to like/go for aggressive razors (R41/Piccolo etc) & this got me BBS no problem at all paired with a Rockwell blade 👍

You liked the blade? I haven't tried it yet.

[@BBS_Robski]

I did yes, I didn't think I was going to but I was quite surprised !

[@jensebu78]

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

This would have been my 2nd pick, but I opted to go for the Feather AS-D2 as my first safety razor - it really is a fine piece of art. The biggest difference was the slim profile of the head on the Feather for under the nose had me sold versus the Rockwell 6S' larger head.

[@j.aghorbani5197]

yeah but a significant price difference. feather as d2 i cant find a good deal on. even during black friday

[@ericmikkelson737]

Nice vid keep up the good work

[@diogeneslantern18]

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.

[@StockMarketsMadeEasy]

Great job Geo! As usual. You read and spoke my thoughts aloud at the end! KISS is another way of saying it, as you did in one other video. God bless. Regards, Dr. Basu( India)

[@WormyLeWorm]

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.

[@r0mediddy]

Hey Geo...love the videos. You've given me the confidence to shave with a safety razor. Have you ever shaved your head? And if so, would you ever do it again?

[@tatshore1984]

Hi Geo been watching your videos and enjoying them for a while now turned to double edge razors about 18 months ago and watched an older video of yours recently (de89)and had to reply having the same experience my go to razor being merkur 34hd I've also had a 37c slant couldn't get along with and even above the tie r1 to much chatter for me against the grain,my 34c was okay but was still searching and a couple of weeks ago ordered the muhle r89 same head as the de89,wow i can't believe the difference i know all the ymmv and all that but I've never had a razor that shaves so well,knife through butter comes to mind,it is just so smooth and efficient and a really nice after shave feeling,i just wasn't expecting it to be so good the head just seems so much better than the merkur and I can't see myself wanting to use anything else.Keep up the good work great videos regards Martin

[@Marco-ce8kr]

Hello Geo, Could you review Lather and wood soap and their pre and post oil? Thanks

[@daddystabz]

@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?

Just bought one of these, havent received it yet. Is 2 really more aggressive than 3? Thought it was just done that way for practicality purposes.

[@GluttonforPunishment]

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.

[@Kickinit2kirb43]

😊 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.

[@fetchmasters]

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

[@tomsterr1904]

Which are your top 3 DE razors?

[@BURG536]

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.

[@donfraysier5079]

Another educational video. Thank you. I would have preferred if this razor instead had an open comb plate, a closed comb one, and a slant cap and plate.

[@geofatboy]

I totally agree Don, open, closed, slant, and implement an easier numbering system on the plates.

[@coolstory6193]

I heard some reviews that these had rust after a month. Is this true? And what can I do to prevent it from happening?

[@joshuaingram9193]

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?

[@tonyash8390]

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.

[@JPDoktor]

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).

[@MrSilvestre587]

Please, could you tell my what razor gives a closer shave, the Feather as-d2 or the Rockwell 6s? I am thinking in buying one of them but I am not sure.

[@geofatboy]

The Rockwell 6S is going to give you much more flexibility to swap heads since its adjustable. You go mild or aggressive, your choice. Definitely go with the 6S if that's what you're looking for: shavenation.com/search?q=6s

Hey Geo.

A video like that would be helpful for people getting back into legitimate shaving to use as a baseline. Thank you!!
