William Emil Celeiro Thank you William👍💈
I like my Rockwell 6S - So this is a great video for me to see. I get a nice shave 🪒 with this. 6C glides more across the face. I have both. I am happy
great scent , in my opinion the vanilla comes out very well
Hi Ken, congrats for the 4k ! Love you're videos. See you on the next one.
Jean-François Galipeault Thank you very much 👍💈
Congrats on the 4000 subscribers Ken, I'm sure it will continue to grow. I've use the 6c with plate no. 4 and Gillette Wilkinson sword. Excellent shave. My 6 other razors now gathering dust. Great video and enjoy the rest of the weekend
rob Souder Thank you Rob👍💈
Looking to get a 6S, so nice to come across this one. Hahaha love the comment about your brother and the pinball machine! 😉
Bought a Rockwell recently. It's a beauty!
One of my favorite razors Ken😃👍💈
Rich Hansen It really was a great shave. Thanks Rich👍💈
CONGRATS Ken on 4000 Subscribers!! Wonderful shave my friend.
Kerry Kerr Thank you👍💈
my favorite razor (gunmetal version)..love ya videos Ken
Congratulations on 4,000 subscribers Ken! Love Stirling products and the only stainless razor that I have is the Feather AS-D2 which I would highly recommend as it is very mild yet extremely efficient.
Tim Omick Thank you Tim👍💈
just finally this week received the vanilla sandalwood splash , nice scent
Hi Ken- Thanks for the Sunday shave. I’m glad you found the Rockwell 6C enjoyable right out of the gate; it’s definitely a great razor. Well, enjoy the rest of the weekend, take care and best regards!
Mike H Thank you Mike 👍💈
I enjoy the videos of yours. Ive forged and used my own blades to shave with for many years. Started as a way to test my blades sharpness, and I just enjoyed it so much I decided to try some more nostalgic ways to shave. Your videos have already cost me some money in the way of things i had to try lol. Im picking up a Rockwell and noticed some reviews on them rusting. For those who are looking into getting one, ignore these reviews to a point. A bead blasted finish, even on stainless, can cause them to rust more easily. It essentially opens the poors/grain of the steel, and allows moisture to accelerate oxidation. Clean the razor after use and treat it like you would a dovo or other carbon steel straight blade. A light rub of razor oil and you'll likely never see rust.
It’s awesome that you guys have stuff. Happening keep
Video interesting lol yeah
Great razor, great shave. I'm glad that you enjoyed using your new 6S. With such an irritation free, smooth feel it is hard not to pick it up for every shave.
Mark Ford It certainly would be a great daily shaver👍💈
Glad you liked the 6S Ken!
I've had mine for about 18 months now and absolutely love it!!
I have the 2C in my travel kit too.
nav m Great razors for sure👍💈
Hey Ken, I have the 6c and with a Voskhod blade, is a superb shave.
Great sheave Ken! Te Rockwell 6s was my first modern razor and i love. Congratulation! Keap going.
👍👍
oh I have also TOBS almond scent , and the stirling vanilla sandalwood .
Badger and Blade, I'm on that forum! Great forum. Shout out to those folks!
Scheefinator That is a great forum👍💈
I am in love with this razor, it feels so good. I try to use all of my razors, but none of them, and I mean NONE compete with the Rockwell 6s. The Rockwell 6s is like meditation to me, it creates a zen moment whenever I use it. It is near perfection.
Ordered my Rockwell 6s yesterday (Saturday) on Amazon and it came today, in time for a late morning shave. Im very excited.
Alexander Mulhall excellent 👍👍💈💈
Been DE shaving since I was 13 or so! The Rockwell 2C chrome was the first decent de razor I bought a few years back and I’ve been using the art of shaving cream pre shave oil and after shave balm. I’ve since upgraded to a Henson which I love and prefer the feel of the Henson with the astra greens. Now I’m trying a shaving soap coming soon since I trust my lather technique enough with the cream.
I have the rockwell 6C ( gunmetal version ) and also rockwell R1 ( TTO razor ) both very great , and mild , I use base plate 2, regards robert , my vanilla sandalwood is going to arrive next week , with other scents from wonderful sterling , thanks for description .
Congratulations on 4k subs, Ken! Well deserved, friend.
HairyToeKnuckles Thank you very much👍💈
Great shave Ken!! I ordered a 6s yesterday, getting excited to try it out !
Chris Muldoon It was awesome!!!👍💈
Another great shave and video Ken and congratulations on hitting 4000 subs 👍
Vincent Hartley Thank you very much for your support Vincent👍💈
I have the s6 also and I love it
At last!) And it made to last.) Legendary razor, hope you like it!) Unusual color of soap.) Thanks for awesome video.)
Dismont DeSire Thank you very much👍👍👍💈💈💈
Awesome Video Ken. Not one single thumbs down which is great. Stirling is amazing soaps. Will be buying the Rockwell so thanks for the review.
David Uribe I really was impressed with it👍💈
What I like about my Rockwell 6S is the flat finish and knurling, which give it a great grip. I can hold it with wet, soapy hands and still have a firm grip.
Good afternoon Ken! Nice looking razor and case. It is my belief that every razor should have a case. Stirling soaps are very good and the post shave feel is phenomenal...I use their Barbershop scent last night. The shave went very well! I hope you enjoyed the movie Ken. Take care.
Todd F Thank you very much Todd. The movie was great👍💈
I have the white chrome 6C, and it's a great razor. I wasn't crazy about the blades thought. Nice shave Ken! 👍💈
the_keen _edge Thank you. I can’t wait to try it with my favorite blades
I am really in to your videos I got in to wet shaving because of them. It's my birthday today so I'm expecting a razor today can't wait keep up the good work
Thomas Crites What Razor did you get👍👍💈💈
I have the 6c and it is amazing! Bolzano and Nacet are amazing with it! My favorite razor on plate 5 is my number for head and face shaves!
👍👍
You're right. I just shaved with it yesterday and in the middle of my shave, I actually did try the Merkur but just put it back down as the Rockwell was so good, I'm not sure if I will be going back to other fixed "limited" ones!
Nice video Ken. I have the same razor and I love it!!
steven meditz I’m very impressed with it👍💈
I have a bunch of Stirlng and am a huge fanboy of theirs. I've been eyeballing the vanilla sandalwood scent for awhile. One of the few I haven't tried yet!
Ronnie It worked pretty good. Thanks Ronnie👍💈
Hi Ken. Congrats to 4000 Subscribers 👍🏼
Peter Rothe Thank you Peter👍💈
Nice razor Ken might get one lovely case great shave Ken congrats on your subscribers have a great time at the movies.
Richard Preston Thanks Richard👍💈
Nice video Ken, I love my 6s and I’m glad that you enjoyed it as well. Most folks aren’t big fans of the Rockwell blades (me included) - put one of your favorites in there and take it for a spin!
cito4633 The next blade will be a Wilkinson sword Gillette 👍💈
Nice shave with Rockwell6s this is my no 1 choice among all de razors I have had you will enjoy using it
Nate 4Shaving Thank you Nate👍💈
Hi Ken, glad you liked the soap. I love Stirling. It lathers thick and very fast. Honestly, it's all I use anymore.
Marc Bagwell I really, really appreciate that you sent me so much to try and explore. Thank you Marc👍💈
Seriously it is one of the best! I was the same way. This guy is top 3 out of my 40+ razors. I use it the most out of all of them. Did not expect that. Great video brother!
DH Dallas Thank you DH👍💈
What's your number 1 and 2 ??
I have my Rockwell and it’s great
Albert Castro 👍👍💈
Congratulations on 4000.
abe frohman Thank you 👍💈
I find my 6C too be very mild even on a higher setting but its also more forgiving with sharper blades.It's a very nice razor and Stirling soaps along with PAA are steller.Keep em coming Ken 🤙
Troy Jenkins Thank you Troy👍💈
Hi Ken!
Glad you got a Rockwell man...! Was my first DE a couple years ago, and really great choice for me to start with.
The 6S is a terrific razor I enjoy using, and the flexibility of plates is sweet. You appear to have the skin and beard coarseness I do, and the 3-plate is a good choice for a couple days growth with 3 passes. 1-2 passes (or more growth), you may want a 4-plate.
The information I got wasn't clear on plate aggression, so, first time out I did a feather on plate 6!
Dayum.
Never did that again 😬...
MD Boyer holy cow...those feathers get me every time on low settings👍💈
I have the gunmetal version , great razor , use the blande level 2, very secure shave
.
*Congratulations on the 4K Ken!*
David Thank you David👍💈
Just got all 24 bond movies on blu ray! Can't wait till another snow day
Congrats on the weight loss and hitting 4K in subs!!!
Ken's Shaving & BS'ing Thank you👍💈
I love you're videos man
Nate The Barber Thank you very much 👍💈
Kensurfs when's the next giveaway ken?
Great shave as always especially with the excellent performance of the Rockwell 6S on your face. The 6S has its budget cousin which is the 6C which is half the price of the 6S. Nothing much else to say, have a good day
GoldenSteelTV Thank you very much👍💈
Hola Ken! You need to try the Rockwell model T (adjustable). It is a good Razor also. Great video and congrats on those 4,000 subs Señor!
Nice one Ken , greetings from Manchester , England . i have the 6c and i find it very smooth.
Jeff Wardrop Hi Jeff. Home of the great Manchester United. I was born a little north of you in Newcastle. Thank you very much for watching👍💈
You are correct. Whatever number you see when the razor is assembled is the setting.
abe frohman Very good 👍💈
Nice razor, Ken . I bought the 6c gunmetal, love it.
Dan Freebern it really is a great razor👍💈
Stirling soaps are my favorite, they’re awesome.
Christian Shaves Super good lather 👍💈
The Shaving Channel right now I only tried Barbershop Executive man Stirling spice and bayrum. Out of them without a doubt, Barbershop has to be my favorite! I really want vanilla sandalwood, Stirling Noir, or sharp dressed man next!
The best razor I have. My second best the merkur 34g ( or 34c gold) you show accidentally. I like the after shave, the truefitt & hill sandalwood but for pre shave i prefer the red proraso.
Very nice video. Continue like this Ken. I'll keep watching
Thank you👍💈
Recently I bought. No 3 is good to my shave. When I use Muhle blade it’s fantastic classic smooth shave. But blade bit costly. It is ok five shave for my face.
rockwell blade 3 is great , yes you have to be able to see the number on the back , merkur futur is very nice but yes under the nose is a problem , there for I use the river lake magnetic razor , very nice also called SNMIRN , regards robert
Just tried, for the first time, after seeing on your channel, some Palmolive Shavesoap. Very nice soap. 😁
Tried the Feather blades a few days ago, for the first time. Very, very sharp blade. Works great.
SSparks555 👍👍💈
I have a Rockwell 6c and I love it.
Setting 3-4 works fine for everyday shave..
I use setting 1-2 for shaving against the grain under my nose.. No other razor i tried can do that without blood
Linus Lindblom Very cool👍💈
I have the 6C and love it. The Rockwell blades are ok and I’ll still use them, but the razor pairs great with an Astra SP. Give that a try!
Tim Plucinski I am planning on using a few different blades for sure👍💈
Rockwell is great Ken have the gun metal vision one
Joseph Fidnarick They do Work really well👍💈
I have the 6c gunmetal finish. I know a lot of people like this razor but it's not one of my favorites (Parker 26C and Gillette black beauty are my favorites) but when I use it I use the 2/4 base. I tried the 1/3 base and found it too mild. It's on setting 3 if you can see the 3 on the bottom. The 6C is half price of the 6S and the 2C is about 20 bucks less than the 6C but you only get the 1/3 base.
Great video. Although I don't own a 6S I have borrowed one and plate 4 would be my daily driver.
Burke Bair I’m planning on plate 4 next👍💈
Nice! I am waiting for my 6C in gun metal to arrive, hopefully soon...
Richnmib I was so close buying the 6C
Bro friend you need to get a shave scuttle they work great
I use this morning
Wow 😮 that foam
I only have a 34c 😢😤 but this will be my next razor when I save up some money for it, nice vid Ken 👍
Bryan Sinclair Thank you very much 👍💈
You’ll love it but take it easy with it lol
Hi Ken , love your videos. I just started wet shaving after getting the 6c in gunmetal for Christmas. Works great on #3 for me . Nicely balanced, yet hefty razor. Looking forward to the Canadian shave , since I'm a new subscriber from the Great White North lol. Take care ....... Patrick
Nein Thank you. Any good aftershave suggestions from up there? 👍💈
Kensurfs ... I'm still a fan of the old school stuff like Old Spice ( the original if you can find it) , Stetson,Polo, Obsession , though mostly all I can find in my neck of the woods are Aqua Velva, Brut , the new Old Spice since the newer scents took over.
Rockwell makes a very nice after shave balm which I really like the smell of ( so does my girlfriend actually) . I was just going to purchase some new stuff when I read your reply lol. I'll keep you posted on my shopping adventure.
All the best ....Pat
Came home with a bottle of Gillette series cool wave after shave for $10 and a tube of Nivea shave cream on sale for $4. The lady working there (39 yrs now) told me aftershaves seem to be in decline as everyone switched to cologne and eau de toilette. Such a shame .
Great Shave Brotha & make sure you stick to that version, it’s got way much better glide over the lather than the 6C version, due to the material of the razor. Have a Great Day Buddy 😁🤙🏼
SoCal Shave Thank you very much 👍💈
Awesome shave Ken! Eager for the Canadian shave! I have a 6S and a 6c very similar the two. I prefer the handle of the 6s it is far better. The feel is similar otherwise. I on occasion mix the plates a chrome plate in the SS or viseversa.
Alex Am I correct that the lower the setting, the milder?👍💈
Yes Ken the number you can read is the one it is set on 1 is the smallest gap mildest shave and 6 is the biggest most aggressive. Personally I tend to use the 3/4 the most. I shave my head too and start with a 6 then second pass a 3. If I was shaving off a think heavy face growth I personally might use 5/6 to start but like you I have areas that cut easily and I have sensitive skin so 6 it too much in most cases.
I bought this razor in gunmetal and I absolutely love it. They have a Model T that's going to be and dial adjustable razor that's going to be released in August. I prepaid $99 just so I could get one of the first ones. It kind of looks like a Gillette Fatboy but longer. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Rockdoc St Augustine The quality of these razors are excellent for sure👍💈
Congrats on 4K Ken! My first acquisition was the Rockwell 6c(chrome). Haven’t used it yet. I liked it so much I ended up getting the 6s as well which I haven’t used either. Lol A case of S.A.D.(shavers acquisition disorder). That vanilla sandalwood combo is nice isn’t it? Have a safe and wonderful holiday weekday.
Frank G Thank you Frank👍💈
you should read the instructions , setting 3 is when you see the number on the base plate , greetings , I have also the twist to open version , also great razor in gunmetal finish
Yes it is pronounced "Troofit" Ken, the shop is just around the corner from Taylor of Old bond street, amazing products. My barbers here in the UK uses Truefitt and Hill products, good brand at Great value.take care buddy
Tony Jax It was a very smooth and soothing aftershave 👍💈
Great shave ken. I loved the Diehard reference. Not too keen on the Rockwell blades though. They pulled & tugged alot but I never tried them in a Rockwell razor though.
Stephen Davidson I’m going to try my favorite blades next 👍💈
Nice! Those are on my list to try out this year. The Gillette Nacet blades are really good except in a slant but I did take them to my firehose strop & both sides of my leather strop.
I lately watched one of your old shaving videos and thought, man you lost some good weight since then. Great achievement really.. you look much fresher now!! Btw. a three pass shave burns 50% more calories compared to a two pass shave :D:D
Si Mon Lol...Thank you very much. I need to burn those calories👍💈
Me too bro
Beautiful shave Ken, thank you! I am wondering what days you normally shave and are they normally in the mornings or evenings? I'm just asking because I want to write a suitable routine :) Thanks
Stirling my favorite artisan. I didnt like the rockwell blades they like tugging on me. Great shave Ken!
Mattias Dahlberg next time I’ll use a different blade as a test 👍💈
Love my Rockwell 6C in gunmetal Also Stirling is my go to soap Once you find your favorite plate it may be the only razor you use LOL
Stirling "The One" is on sale for $6
Jess Erlund I have been hearing that👍💈
I'm sure you get asked this all the time but here goes. What's your favorite razor and what's a good razor to start out with?
I just ordered the Gillette Heritage you shared with us last week. Thank you.
Also makes a rugged travel razor too.
MD Boyer It has an awesome weight👍💈
Hey Ken! Good shave my friend! I like my 6S on 3, as well... Remember, you can reset the high score anytime, thru the bios settings!!! Just kidding... take care!
Johnny 99 I thought of that..lol but I figured I’d focus and beat the score through more practice 👍💈
I know i was kidding... lol
Nice shave Ken. Thanks for reviewing the Rockwell 6s, I have been wanting to get one. I hear that it's a great razor. You can't go wrong with Stirling soap either. It is one of my favorites! I really like your shave den, and was curious about the bulldog above your James Garner picture. Is it an aftershave container? It looks really neat.
Steve wood Steve that a movie replica from SPECTRE that M left to James Bond. My wife bought it for me👍💈
That's really neat Ken! Thanks for the reply and have a great week.
Want the one you are using
Joseph Fidnarick I waited until I had the $$ to buy this one 👍💈
