Absolutely superb. I started DE shaving a few weeks ago using a Muhle R89 which was good but caused some irritation because it’s so mild I had to go over some areas too many times. I tried the Rockwell on plate 3 and it was OK but nothing to write home about. I tried it on plate 4 this morning and what a revelation! There’s loads of blade feel but it’s incredibly smooth. You can hear and feel it shaving the whiskers straight off but there’s absolutely no skin irritation at all – what a revelation!

Excellent and really quick advice, something you don’t get from Amazon.
Can’t fault the service, products and speed of delivery.

I have never left a review in my life but this razor is so good that I felt the need! I was using a ‘mild’ safety razor but I constantly nicked myself and it didn’t cut my tough beard very well. In contrast I can use the number 5 setting on this razor with no nicks or irritation and get a very close shave. What’s more its much easier to get underneath the nose. Its brilliant!! As usual the service from Shave Lounge was first class.

This is a great razor first class both my son and I have tried it and what an excellent razor and I must give Anthony at shave lounge a mention also for his excellent and compassionate service and the free samples he sent me. I will only use shave lounge from now on thanks Anthony. All the best Derek.

I wear glasses… and I tend to shave in the shower on the run with everything out of focus. I wanted an adjustable to have an “all in one” razor, I have used a Merkur Futur – not with much success or comfort (Too much fear)!!!! So I ordered the Rockwell 6S and found perfection. An adjustable I can use, where I always know what setting (plate) I’m using without unintentionally moving settings that cant see!!!
Brilliant piece of engineering that is built to last…..

It’s just arrived, only 18 hours after ordering it. Fantastic customer service, my order was fulfilled and shipped within 7 minutes of me placing it. Well done Shave Lounge. The build quality on this thing is amazing, it has heft and balance and I can’t wait to give it a test drive. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Shave Lounge also deserve your custom. They will certainly get more of mine.

I started DE shaving around five weeks ago, and promised myself that if I was going to stick with it, I would treat myself to a stainless steel razor. One of the reasons I wanted to own a stainless steel razor, is they are very durable and wanted this to be the razor that would last a lifetime, and I think that due to the design and build that the Rockwell 6S will certainly do that.
On reading the reviews on here, and reading the excellent feedback and well liked posts over on Reddit and on the Badger & Blade and also The Shaving Room forums, I figured that the Rockwell 6S sounded the perfect razor for me, for the following reasons:
Usually with a razor (unless its an adjustable) you are locked into how efficient or mild that particular razor is. With the Rockwell 6S, it comes with three base plates which are double sided, and each provides a larger or smaller blade gap, with a larger blade gap will in return allows for a more efficient (removes more growth in one pass) shave and the opposite for a smaller blade gap.
One of the baseplates has number 1 on one side and number 3 on the other side. So the number 3 baseplate would provide a more efficient shave (as mentioned before). The other baseplates are number 4 with number 2 been on the other side. And lastly, baseplate number 6 with number 5 been on the opposite side. I haven’t tried baseplate 5/6 as I am still getting a feel for the razor, but have I have used 1/3, 2/4. So essentially you are getting six different razors in one with the Rockwell 6S and all for an excellent price and even more so when you are getting a stainless steel razor on top of all of that.
I find with baseplate 4 gives me an excellent shave with the growth and then across the growth. I then either stop my shave after the across the growth pass or I will flip the baseplate around and use the number 2 baseplate for a more milder against the growth pass. The changing to a different sized baseplate takes no time to do (roughly 15 seconds at the very most) admittedly not as quick as an on the razor adjustment wheel like other adjustable razors have, but certainly quick and easy enough to do and I actually prefer Rockwell’s various baseplates approach over an adjust from on the razor handle, as I feel that with over time, the mechanism could get gunked up and might perhaps be difficult to clean properly and I feel that it might be a more complicated system (than what Rockwell use) and with that in mind more likely to go wrong.
The head/baseplate design is absolutely perfect, and the baseplate edge glides over the face effortlessly. The Rockwell 6S is a rather heavy razor but this just helps with the quality of the shave, as the weight of the razor is doing all the work and no pressure is needed to be applied by yourself to give you a good shave.
The handle is a perfect length and the knurled grip is very well done and the grip from it is perfect. It remains grippy even when wet and you are never left feeling like it may slip out of your hand.
The finish of the Rockwell 6S seems very high, and I can see no issues with it. I have read a few complaints online about some of the Rockwell 6S been poorly finished, but this is MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE with mine. Perhaps there was a bad batch?
The Rockwell 6S is presented in a very nice storage box and comes complete with a pack of Rockwell’s own blades (which I have not tried yet, I have only used Feather blades in it which work good for me).
I can also highly recommend the stainless steel Rockwell razor stand which is a perfect match for the Rockwell 6S razor. The Rockwell 6S and the stand look absolutely stunning together.
My advice to a new comer to DE shaving and at looking at getting their first razor, would be to get the Rockwell 6S, for the following reasons:
1: You can start off on a very mild number one baseplate, which would provide you with a small amount of blade gap and a lot less chance of nicks and cuts.
2: Has your technique improves you can work up through the other baseplates.
3: And lastly, this is everything you could ask for in a razor and is possible the last razor you would ever need to buy as its stainless steel and you essentially have six razors in one.
To sum up:
This razor has absolutely everything going for it and it ticks all of the boxes and then some.
It’s stainless steel, it has six levels of adjustment (essentially giving you six razors in one), glides over the face effortlessly, well made and well finished. And lastly is perfect for anyone from a complete beginner to DE shaving or even a veteran to DE shaving, it would give enjoyment and performance for them both.
And lastly a big thank you as always to Anthony for his exceptional customer service. I will have no hesitation from ordering again (which I will be doing within the next couple of weeks) and I also recommend Shave Lounge when I am asked where to purchase shaving supplies from.
If you are still reading this and debating on whether to get the Rockwell 6S, then I would say go for it, you will definitely not be disappointed!
