Frequently asked questions
-
Which setting should I start with as a complete beginner to safety razors?
Always start with R1 (the gentlest setting) for your first 5-10 shaves whilst you develop proper technique and muscle memory. Once comfortable, experiment with R2 or R3 to find your sweet spot. Most daily shavers settle on R2/R4 settings, but everyone's skin and hair are different.
-
How is the 6C different from the more expensive 6S model?
The 6C features chrome-plated alloy construction whilst the 6S is machined from solid stainless steel. Both offer identical 6-setting adjustability and shaving performance—the 6C simply provides outstanding value for budget-conscious shavers or those new to safety razors who want to test the waters before investing in premium stainless steel.
-
Can I use any brand of double-edge blades with the Rockwell 6C?
Yes, the 6C accepts all standard double-edge safety razor blades. However, blade preference is highly personal—the included Rockwell Swedish Stainless Steel blades offer an excellent balance of sharpness and smoothness, but many shavers enjoy experimenting with blade sampler packs to find their perfect match.
-
Will this razor work for shaving my head or body, not just my face?
Absolutely! The adjustable settings make it perfect for different body areas—use gentler R1/R2 settings for sensitive areas like the neck or groin, standard R2/R4 for scalp shaving, and more aggressive R5/R6 settings for chest or leg hair. Many head shavers particularly love the 6C's versatility.
-
How much money will I actually save compared to cartridge razors?
The average cartridge user spends approximately $4-$6 per cartridge and goes through one every 5-7 shaves. Double-edge blades cost as little as 10 cents each and last the same duration, resulting in savings exceeding $500 over just two years—and the 6C will still be performing flawlessly decades later.
-
Is the chrome finish durable, or will it chip and peel over time?
The industrial-grade chrome plating is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, chipping, and daily wear. With proper care (rinse after use, allow to air-dry), your 6C will maintain its lustrous finish for many years. Avoid dropping on hard surfaces, and it will outlast most grooming tools you'll ever own.
-
What's the difference between White Chrome and Gunmetal Chrome finishes?
Both finishes offer identical performance and durability—the difference is purely aesthetic. White Chrome provides a classic, bright polished appearance reminiscent of traditional barbershop equipment, whilst Gunmetal Chrome offers a darker, more contemporary look with subtle sophistication.
-
Will I cut myself more with a safety razor compared to my current cartridge?
With proper technique and starting on gentle settings, most users experience fewer nicks than with cartridges. The key is using zero pressure (let gravity do the work), maintaining the correct 30-degree angle, and taking your time. Most beginners report better results within their first week as muscle memory develops.
