That’s looks great. I’ve got a Rhodium plated 6S and it’s beautiful, mirror polish and an ice blue reflection completely different to just polished steel, it’ll be with me for life as the 6S is my GOAT razor
Good to see you Greg been a while hope all is well your way loving the Banter as always can’t beat the 6s Razor this one definitely looks the bees knees for sure wether I pick it up or not will see what happens watch this space all the best to you! 😁🙌🍺
Thnx Greg.I chose the 6c because of chrome has better glide & the chrome is seriously plated don’t believe it will ever chip. Better price, thnx anyway 👍👍
Great to see you again! I bought the blue one last year and sadly... It's chipping in the cap. I suspect the glue/adhesive on some of the blades I have is responsible for this as I treat my razors with great care.
@@GregTardif Absolutely usable, only a minor esthetic inconvenience. I also have the T2 and the 6 c. I totally agree with you that the 6s or 6c are absolutely pillars of the industry. Have a great day!
$250? Why not just send a 6S to Backroads Gold for plating? A proper plating job will apply a basecoat of copper, and then 24K gold on top of that. With proper care this gold plating will last a lifetime. Personally, I would far prefer to have the parts of the baseplates and the top cap that touch the face receive a high polish, and skip the plating.
Hi Greg, nice to see another video from you. I’m brand new to safety razor shaving. Had my first shave with a GEM razor the other day and looking forward to more shaves. After shaving what do you do to set the razor aside? I took the blade out, rinsed everything, but don’t know how dry the razor and the blade need to be to keep it till my next shave.
Oh, I usually just leave it out and let it dry and I don’t fiddle with the blade or anything. Some people will loosen the razor a bit. But it shouldn’t matter if the razor is dry or wet the next time you shave. I usually rinse it before shaving any wau
Nice laconic style, Greg. I wonder what Rockwell will think of this video… Did the gold damage your chisel? As for the 6S: it shaves well, but is too heavy for me. I get it that some guys like ‘em chunky, though. Cheers. 👍🪒
So you're not dead, eh, my boy Greg. Still alive? Still kicking? That is certainly good to hear. Even a hungry rabbit can't eat 24 orange veggies at a single sitting so I guess that should be enough. See you in another 18 months I guess. Keep well and safe in the coming winter.
I don't understand why someone will buy this. Because if you drop it, you will lose some of the gold and therefore decrease its value. And also if a thief enters your home, this will be a top target. So, you have to be very careful with it.
You’re back!! Woo hoo! We’ve missed you.
Great to see you back! Amazing video as always!
Welcome back Greg, sound like Rockwell got their Gold plating right.
He’s back!
🙋♂️

I was wondering where you were. Glad to finally see another video. 🙂
🙋♂️👍

It's for a collector. Or for a person who absolutely loves the razor. Now I can have the 6S plated by Matt. It'll probably hold up pretty good.
Hi Greg!!! Good to see and hear you again! I always enjoy your zany humor.
Take care, Lindsay 🪒💈
🥰
Greg good seeing you brother. Hope all is well. 🙌🏻👊🏻
Thnx Greg.I chose the 6c because of chrome has better glide & the chrome is seriously plated don’t believe it will ever chip. Better price, thnx anyway 👍👍
Man! I have missed your videos!
Well, hello and welcome back, Mr Hotdogs!
Hehe howdy
great greg.
will it blend?

Sorry to hear. Hopefully the razor is still usable though?

BackRoads no longer plates stainless.
I couldn’t help but to laugh because I kept hearing “blow me” for the link below. 😂
That’s why I chuckled too lol

nice video !!
But does it hold up to a focused magnifying glass on a particularly sunny day? That’s the real question.
😂
I bought the gold a little while ago. This will be my second Rockwell 6s. 😂
Cool! Rockwell mentioned this being their first gold plated 6s and just announced it yesterday. Did you get the rose gold 6c?
@@GregTardifAs soon as I saw the short on Ohio Shaves page, I raced to the site and bought this. 😂
I don't own the 6c.

@@jmw3938 chisel is marked safe from the gold 👍! I’m not sure what they’ll say. I never submit for approval lol
One down...499 to go!
You tried Aylsworth Apex or Karve Overlander?
Yes 😂
Not the apex
Good looking rockwell, can't seem to justify buying another of the same razor (currently own the 6C.. J. Crew edition cuz I'm wearin fancy pants
Fancy daddy pants!
Time for a new Wood Chisel !
@@robmiller54 I got a lot of them. Was gonna sharpen this weekend
Man, what camera are you making a video?
@@nezamedimov I use a Fuji xh2s and shoot in flog2. Does it look ok?
@@GregTardif Looks like a Hollywood movie, very cool job!
@@nezamedimov 🥰
@@GregTardif Can you recommend anything regarding razors? I'm now shaving mühle r89, I plan to take Edwin Jagger 3one6. What do you say?
@nezamedimov I haven’t tried a mühle before but I do like the 3one6. Just check it out, people have reported quality control issues
Miss ya Greg
Hiii thank you

Haha maybe I’ll do something a little sooner than that 😂
A titanium razor would cost as much as that gold plated Rockwell 6 G, so it’s excessive by those standards.
It hurts just to watch bro,!😂
Nice nice
Shouldn't this be the 6G?
@@ChrisLael maybe the 6GS?
Arrrggghhh - not the dastardly "sixes" again! Thumbs down, unsubscribed. Not really - I'll be back for more - hurts so good
😂😂
Why? $250 down the drain like p*ss. Oh well 😢, welcome back.
As I said, only if you want to
Do you like gold plated safety razors?
I honestly,y prefer the old school look of silver. I dont even really like black safety razors
I've never even thought about it. IMHO, the build tolerance of the 6C (et al?) isn't good enough to warrant gold plating, or any other special finish.
It depends on the razor. I would love to see what my Feather AS-D2 would look like in gold.
I really like bronze, although my SS Konsul outperforms my two bronze razors
showy

👍 I think if it’s dropped you have a low chance of chipping. In my years of traditional shaving I’ve only dropped one razor
there are some folks who may see value (literally) in owning a razor that's a limited edition model. might end up being a smart investment.
