My Rockwell 6S is my favorite razor for a smooth BBS shave!!
I just tried plate 2/4 with a new Feather blade and I was pleasantly surprised how smooth it went. My first use of a Feather, wet shaving 4 years. So new rule of thumb, the milder the razor, the sharper the blade and vice versa!
Spot on Mark 👍
Kevy, that you don't even think about asking how people are doing says a great deal about you -- that you actually care about your viewers. And that's why we care about and follow you.
Cheers Fred 🙂
Ive done the face wash with the leftover soap for the past month since I watched your videos. Thanks for helping me not put a handful of soap down the drain and be able to put it to good use.
Very nice shave sir. My Rockwell 6C is the razor that I keep going back to. Great razor and very efficient.
love love love My Rockwell 6C . used it today with a Feather blade and the #3 plate . a very smooth shave .
Simply great products working in perfect harmony to produce a comfortable shave. I’m all about the milder razors in general, particular as I have gotten into the daily shave routine.
Nice shave Kevy! Waiting to buy the Rockwell 6S soon, and looking forward[i hope so] to see you shave with the Greek Faena soaps! i m sure you will like them! Take care Kevy, and keep up the good videos!
The Gillette Nacet never fails when using the Rockwell R1 base plate, because, Kevy Scottish stubble kept on singing out LOUD! throughout the whole shave.
😂
Great shave. I love my Rockwell 6C. Hope you and your family are safe. Take care
Hi Kevy- Great shave; thank you! The Rockwell with plate #1 and a Gillette Nacet blade was a good combination. I have to give that a try. Cella Blue is a wonderful performer and you had a great lather going. I hope you have a great week ahead. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Kevy!
I hoped you might post a birthday shave. Well, happy birthday, ol’ man! Sorry it is so late getting this sent out. I had to work late. Probably the day after over there. I pray that this year will be full of good health, and great friends! Have a great one!
Excellent, you have convinced me now
I’m getting one of these!
3 is my daily morning shave plate and 2 my daily evening plate. My shifts determine which one. On realising how mild plate 1 was, I tried a new Feather in it, and it was a great way to remind me not to force the issue because as you demonstrated here, it still does a job.
I own many razors ranging from low to high end and the Rockwell is my favorite as well.
Great shave Kevy. It was great to see you use the Rockwell 6S again. The best to you, Mrs. Kevy and Riley.
Thanks 👍
Happy birthday Kevy, hope your day is a great and nice one for you , great shave as always 🏴👍🏻🏴🪒
My favourite razor! Love plates #3 and 4.
You're getting a better angle then me, as on plate 1, like you said, I couldn't get any shave action at all. I'll have to try it again. I like to use the 4/2 - four for the first two passes and two for AGT and pickups. It's a great razor!
I used the #1 plate to learn the correct angle to hold the razor, nine passes to achieve a BBS shave with absolutely no irritation on my sensitive skin.
Currently using the #4 plate, I don't really need that aggressive of a shave for a BBS shave.
A very happy birthday Kevy have a good one!
Man I love that Ice Tube. I just started using it. It mentholates my entire 3 pass shave. Brilliant! Cheers Kevy!
I have the Cube and love it too. Post shave feeling is amazing too!
I often shave with my 6S on R2 (R4 is my favourite).
And I find it much better than my Feather ASD2.
Great shave my man and such beautiful singing. A man of many talents. I don't have the 6S but have the 6C. Also my favourite razor Kevy, never ever lets me down.
Good stuff Bazza 👍
Based on your reviews and others high praise of the Rockwell 6S I ordered mine a couple of days ago...anxiously awaiting its arrival. Thanks Kevy . Mike in Nova Scotia. Cheers .( Proud that it was designed in Canada! )
Nice one Mike. Enjoy your 6S when you get it. Kevy 😀
Got that brush too, does the job very well!
Yes agreed 6s just works Kevy and scent profile of the soap great too
Well done. I hope this session influences others to consider the 6S for daily shaves. The Nacet remains one of my favorite blades. I haven't tried the aloe version of Cella. The more I see it, the more I'm intrigued. That being said, I an often surprised at how many well-established shavers are yet to try the classic Cella. I can't tell you how often I've placed the 1kg brick of Cella in my cart; only to not commit at the last minute. I hope more and more realize it is THAT good; and remained so for 121 years. I was equally surprised a weeper was left from an otherwise perfect session. Thanks for sharing, mate. Stay safe and maintain your health. Extend warm regards to your Mrs, and Señor Riley.
You would like the blue Cella. Its very mild scented but the performance is great for the price point. Kevy 😀
I love my 6C. Never had a bad shave. The price makes it a steal. I little more inconvenient to change plates but it is more durable.
I always use plate number 5 on my 6s. On daily shave.May give plate number 3 a go.Never tried aloe cella.I use D R Harris Almond cream.I think because the razor is so good a derby blade works well enough.No need for a sharp feather blade.Hope you can do some top 5 or top 10 videos soon.👍
A rare videos using plate 1! well done
Happy Birthday Kevy !. Hope you had a great day , Take care yourself..... Cheers :)
I love my 6C on plate 6 with an Israeli persona blade. Currently on a tub of declaration grooming’s yuzu rose patchouli (milksteak) - phenomenal shave every time.
Hi Kevy. I love my 6S. Have bought and sold many razors since acquiring the it, but the 6S will forever remain in my den. Everytime I go back to it I always wonder why I bother with anything else ... Talk about versatility ... This past summer, after a day of fishing with no sunscreen , ended up with a really bad sunburnt face. I wanted to shave the next day ... R1 plate to the rescue. End result was a very smooth painless shave. Thought to myself wow, this razor is superb ... don't think I could have done that with any other razor I owned. Rockwell 6s is perfect in every way. Thanks for bringing it back into the spotlight. Cheers !
Brilliant Caesar! Kevy 😀
Nicely done Kevy💈💈 Cella has always been a good cream, not sure why more guys don't use it. Maybe it's the scent of almonds, this one will take care of that. The good ol' Rockwell 6xxxxxxx, S/C, Ti, plastic, wood,, doesn't matter, great razor.. Great video and comments, thanks. Stay safe and...Enjoy!
Interesting - will give it a go.. Plate 4 on the 6S normally for me and especially with a second use Nacet. Glad to see the 6S is still rocking your boat!!!!!
@@FedeRhodes Nacet are excellent but also try Polsilver Iridium and the , arguably, identical Wizamets. Get on to ATG forum as well if not already a member. :)
Excellent, Kevy, thank you!! 👌
I use plate 5 or 6, but I might try this with a Feather at some point.... at least for a pass.
Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful shave and video Kevy. Cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
Think this is definitely a case of YMMV! After watching this I decided to try the same although I was using a first use feather blade, it did nothing, just slid straight over the hair. I then went up to plate 2 and got the exact results you did here, beautiful shave but super mild and lots of buffing needed. We all are guilty of searching for the answer, the recipie for perfect shaves and we forget that the products we use have manufacturing tolerances, the head, the baseplate, the blade all have tolerances that when you stack up could mean that someone’s plate 3 combo could equate so somebody else’s plate 1.
Well said Don. YMMV counts for everything when it comes to shave gear I guess. Cheers. Kevy 👍
Hello Kevy, happy birthday !! ;)
Alright; I accept your challenge, good sir! I'm going to try using my Rockwell (chrome) with the R2 plate this week for my daily shaves and let you know how it goes.
Hi Kevy! I really enjoy the video! The pronunciation it's perfect haha! Thank you too!
You're welcome. It was great fun. Cheers. Kevy 😀
Levy….totally agree with you. The Rockwell 6S is simply the finest razor I have ever shaved with. My others are a 6C, T2, and Gillette Slim.
What's up Kevy
Rockwell is undoubtedly one of the best safety razors on the market, many consider it the only daily driver without a doubt, rarely do I see you so comfortable I think the Rockwell is your favorite as for me it is my Mühle R41.
Same with me! My favorite is also the R41. Just one problem with it, the stock handle is just too slick for me to use comfortably. Do you use the stock handle? I hear people have been getting the ikon bulldog handle and are really happy with it.. so i just ordered one haha
Happy birthday, hope you have many more healthy lathering years
Thank you 😀
I wasn't going to shave today. But halfway through the video I decided to give it a go. I only own one razor, the Rockwell 6s. So plate R1 it is (Nacet 3rd use). The shave was just okay. The R3 plate is my go to -- much better shaves. What prompted me to post a comment is the soap I used, Stirling Spice. I have an ounce sample sitting around and was never drawn to use it, the fragrance was just, eh. Anyway, I lathered it up and was surprised how good it smelled. I paired it with Old Spice aftershave and wow. It turned an okay shave into a much better experience. I'm looking forward to using the soap again tomorrow and will try it with plate R2 (Nacet 4th use).
Sounds good 😀👍
Awesome shave Kevy! Happy early birthday to you 😃🤘💯🎂
Thank you kindly
Happy birthday Kevy!
Great video Kevy hope all is well.
Thanks 👍
Great shave. After watching this video, I’m thinking about getting the Cella Blue cream. The Yaqi brush looks sexy especially with the dice at the bottom. Because of my coarse hair, I prefer a sharper blade on a medium aggressive razor to slice off the stubble in no time
The Cella Blue is really good. Kevy 😀
The Cella Blue is a phenomenal cream - i absolutely love the red one (Almond) but the blue wipes the floor with it! Amazing lather and thickness.
Need to try Cella Blue, I use the red one which is one my faves. Definitely need to give that pre shave a go! :)
You should try them both David. Cheers. Kevy 😀
I wonder how the 6S with the R1 plate compares to the ASD2? The Feather is a very mild razor. And it is my daily driver. When I have more than two days growth I prefer to use a more aggressive razor, at least for the first pass. Kind of like you have said about the S6.
Fantastic shave Kevy, I've tried Cella's shaving cream (comes in a tube) and quite frankly it was absolutely disappointing. It was too runny and couldn't whip it into no lather whatsoever. I was damn close to tossing it into the bin but decided to use it as "pre-shave." It lasted like 3 months and finally finished it. But I can't say I would buy it again. A shame really because the scent is formidable!
You should give this blue one a go Aleks. Its very cheap and i think you'll be surprised at it's performance. Cheers. Kevy 😀
I like the 6s with a Shark blade on setting 5 . comfortable shave 🪒
I love the 6S, truly an amazing shaver 🥰💈
Agreed!
Nice shave Kevy. Always enjoying watching it. R1 shaves. . But BBS? Even with R2 that doesn't work for me. R3 ... Depends.... So it really starts from R4.
If i want a really mild Shave i use R3 and R2. Anyway, Nice Razor!
Cella blue? I would say green 😂😂😂
A dial adjustable doesn't require a changing of plates mid-shave. For this reason I don't own the 6S but rather the Model T.
Great shave kevy: -)
Feedback is awesome Kevy on Razor lol man you can hear it like lawnmower lol
Alan H
Great shave Kevy. My Gillette Slim Adjustable fulfills all of my needs. I got to stick with the old gear myself. You do a good job with the 6S though.
Thanks 👍
Tomorrow, finally I'll begin the week of 6S, and then a week with 6C, two wonderful shaving's weeks..... Yeahhh👍👍👍👍
Sounds great!!
Used my 6c on plates 1 and 3 today for a head and face shave. 2nd use Gillette Nacet blade, proraso white pre, cream and post cream. Great feel and bbs shave.
6ς or 6c?what is the difference?
Brilliant! 😀
The 6C is made from chrome, the 6S is made from stainless steel. Thats the only difference. Kevy 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 great thanks a lot sir! Thansk,
That was a really cool shave brush! 💈👍☺
I love it! Kevy 😀
Nice video. Maybe that viewer wants to buy the cheap razor that comes w heads 1/3. I like 4 but 5 is too rough...Maybe they should let the buyer chose one head for the cheap price.....2/4 for me. I do like other razors, for some reason this one I boxed.
Anyway w this addiction, I like just moving around.. Good to see you out of the "sound/shock" prove closet. Now I need to buy that Cella.... Cheers
Hi Kevy,
So the 6S is still your favourite razor? Thats impressive as you have so many. I thought you might prefer the karva. I haven't tried my 6S yet. Waiting for some stubble to grow a bit! ⏰🙄🙄. Love to all and stay safe Sir,
Dave.
6S is still my favourite Dave 👍
Nice, can you try Boker DE Safety razor 😌
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Nice shave Kevy, you really like the 6s. Good for you. I would like it in all aluminium. The 6a! 😉
It’s a 3 piece so you could very easily find(or have made) an aluminum handle with the same thread size and use that. Though you’ll still have the stainless head
@@jth_printed_designs I would like it in all aluminium
I tried plate 1 once, but did not succeed in cutting hairs. But you inspired me, i will try it again!
Go for it!
@@kevyshaves4109 Went for it, not BBS as usual so ill stick to plate 3 or 4 for daily use. But it was fun trying. Could be that my voskhod blade (2nd use) was just not sharp enough.
@@mathieuplatteel1284 Good for you. At least you tried it to find out for yourself. Like I always say, everyone is different. Kevy 😀
same here R1 just slides over the whiskers regardless of angle.
Love your videos. I have the Rockwell 6S. Love it and noticed the washer you use. Any chance you know the size?
Cheers Johnny. Search on ebay for plastic washer size M5. Kevy 👍
I have used plate 2 / feather combo for numerous headshaves in the past. After viewing this vid I loaded a nacet(2) on the 2 plate for a face shave with one days growth. Too much buffing and not as close as like. Not worth trying a r1 for me. I’ll stick to the r4 for my daily driver, even with my patchy beard. Another great video though.
Thanks 😀
Nice shave! Have you tried Barbon aftershave from Hungary? Personally I find it better than Proraso. It has more menthol in it and it is just wonderful. It is also cheaper than Proraso and has better ingredients. The Barbon shave cream is not good so do not bother buying it but the aftershave is top. Cheers!
I haven't tried that one Hristo. I've not heard of it before. Kevy 😀
Oh mate, don't cry, the menthol was getting to you.... I'd say the Homelike Start is a tad more versatile than the Rockwell solely because it has the open comb option with the plates and some say the mild plate on the Start is also too mild to be useful, but the Rockwell has the advantage of being more widely available. Stay sharp, stay safe and have a good week 👍
I was crying because I'd not had any Cadbury chocolate! I really like the Start too but the Rockwell comes as a whole package off the shelf. I really enjoy the weight and balance of the 6S too. Kevy 😀
Plate #1 is too mild for me too. I love my Rockwell 6S & my Bronze Karve. You bring up a point. Since you shave every day, do you think the lower # plates are meant for every day shaving?
Yes, I think that's what they're intended for. Kevy 👍
Anyone who's ever heard me sing knows it's best that I avoid the vocal warmup.
Silence is golden.
Ha ha! 👏
Nice shave, Kevy! That Cella " 'all-o, Vera" looks pretty good. Is it a softer cream consistency or similar to the red? I must be in the minority here, I sold my Rockwell 6S. I just didn't reach for it very often. It always felt a little clunky to me. Oh, well, I believe that the new owner appreciates it better than I ever did.
Cheers! -Rob
Yes, it's a similar consistency to the red. Kevy 👍
If you had to choose between the red tub and green tub, which Cella would you pick?
Green 😀
Great shave! What's the shave bowl you use here?
It was from a supermarket in the UK. Its a cereal bowl. Kevy 👍
Agreed, the Rockwell is what you said.
ciao bella rasatura,anche io uso Rockwell 6s con piastra 1 per barbe giornaliere,con Kai o Feather👍
come sapone uso soprattutto Proraso verde in ciotola
un abbraccio 😉👌🇮🇹
Good morning from Greece.

What size washer is that? I should probably get one for my 6s. I assume its there to prevent the steel from scratching itself?
Search on ebay for plastic washer size M5. Kevy 👍
Another wonderful video! What's the Rockwell like for under the nose compared to the Outlaw?
The Ourlaw has a better profile for getting under the nose but I've never had any trouble with the Rockwell under the nose. Kevy 👍
@@kevyshaves4109 Thank you!
hello ,I'm on eBay looking at m5 washers but there are diff size m5 washers. any idea which one you got? is there a benefit to using one? thanks
Get the thinnest one you can find. I'm not sure what one i got. I think there is a benefit but some people dont. Kevy 😀
Are you considering getting a red or blue finish 6S, Kevy? Plate three is okay as a daily driver for me...
I might write a letter to Santa for a red or blue 6S! 🎅
Howdy Kevy! Sorry - “I tuned in late” 😉, but from the look of your eyes 👀Windy Wendy 💨 has been in your area.
Crackin’ shave my friend. 👍🏼
Cheers 🍻
How many uses for the nacet blades acoording ur opinion;;;Greate video Kevy👍
3 shaves on a Nacet for me then it goes into the blade bank. Kevy 😀
@@kevyshaves4109 i think 3 shaves general for all blades more or less is good enough...thanks.
Hello if you could only have 1, would you pick the 6s over the 6c in spite of your pointing out that the 6c had more glide?
Yes, the 6S will last forever because it's made from stainless steel. Cheers. Kevy 🙂
Great shave Kevy. I don’t think the mentholated cube shares the CK6 formula? I think only the one with the activated bamboo charcoal has the Gucci CK6 butters.
it says on the label of the ice tube about the CK6 formula. Kevy 😀👍
I stand corrected sir, you are correct. I think it was the rabid peach that didn’t have butters of ck6 👍🏻
Hi Kevy,i have both rockwell 6s and 6c,i try all plates,but for my plate 1,2,3 is useless,and i see your video with plate 1 and very few grow hair on you,and you shave hard,many pase for removing all hair,i recomand all of wet shavers this razor,but work properly only plate nr 4,5,6😁👍🍺,all the best
Gice shave Kevy. I haven’t tried the R1 plate on my 6S yet. I tried the R2 and it was a bit too mild for me. I shave daily with R3 plate. By the way what size nylon washer is that? I need to get one
Good stuff Steve. Search on eBay for plastic washer size M5 formthe plastic washer. Lots of sellers and very cheap. Kevy 👍

Kenny what is better razor, Outlaw or 6s and why?
I prefer the 6S, but it's very close between that and the Outlaw. I guess the 6S is a bit more versatile and offers more options with the different plates. Kevy 👍
I did try my 6C on plate#1 when I first received the razor but found it hard to keep the head clean. I'm quite happy to shave on plate#2 though, I will try it again on plate#1 with a sharp blade like Nacet or Perma-Sharp or Feather (all measured as sharp).
Hello Kevy
I see a big difference in razor exposure on your Rockwell 6s razor on plate number 1
I have the same razor but in mine the razor blade display on plate number 2 looks like yours on plate number 1
In my plate number 1 there is a much smaller gap between the plate and the razor blade ...
Which is a pity, because that's why plate number one is almost useless
If i need to shave with just 1 days growth, plate 1 works great. Cheers. Kevy 🙂👍
Great video Kevy 💈👍🏼🪒In my opinion it’s a great razor for value Rockwell 6S in many ways...
Even tho I’m not using it as often I use my Feather AS-D2 and Karve SS...
Take care stay safe

Didn't you lather up the preshave with a brush in another video?
I dont think so. That might be Paul H you're thinking of. He's done that in a vid. Kevy 😀
