Too light, and the handle is too thin for my tastes.
Coming from the disposable cartridge side of the house, this is the first DE safety razor I’ve owned. Easy to use and felt comfortable in my hand. Will eventually go with the 6S or ever the titanium version.
One of my all time favorite after shave smelling, worthwhile to give it a try. Smelling is masculine and not over fruity and flourish.
SInce this is my first safety razor, I can't compare it to others. BUT! I got tired of paying insane prices for Gillette's Turbo Mach 3 blades that just seem to go up in price and down in quality. I couldn't be happier for the switch. I bought Rockwell's full package with the brush, shave lotion, 3 heads (6 settings), and blades, and I'm very satisfied. I started growing my beard for winter so haven't done a full face shave yet with my Rockwell, just above and below the beard. TO SUM IT ALL UP: Great 1st safety razor and I strongly suggest for you to buy the full package as I did. Well worth the extra price! The lotion and brush work better than any big name store bought shaving cream I've ever used! That's about 40 years experience. And you don't need but a dab.
Great smell and lathers up second to none.
I have been doing a comparison between all the top razorblades including Feathers, Merkurs, Muhles, Nacets, Gillette Blue, Personnas, and Rockwells, and although the Feathers are the sharpest, they are slightly too agressive for me, but on my face with my various razors, Rockwells are the most well-rounded blades.
I only shave with a double edge razor. I lost my other one so I tried Rockwell since I've only seen good things about it. I used it for a few months before it started to show signs of rust. I used it everyday and after every use I clean it (take it apart and pat it down with a clean towel) and yet after 4-5 months it was rusted. This has never happened to my previous double edge razors. I contacted support about this issue but since it was more than 60 days since purchase, they could not refund me, they just offered to send me replacement parts for what is rusted BUT the customer is required to pay shipping. I did not want to pay for the shipping. I bought another razor from another company and I suggest you do the same.
This is my favorite razor in spite of my Henson, Gillette Slim, and Gillette Super Speed. I love it so much I had to buy a second for a buddy. Customer service with Rockwell is top notch too. I’m so pleased, I will be getting another Rockwell for certain.
Hopefully this razor is better than the first one. I needed medical attention after the faulty razor cutting me badly. Wasn’t impressed!
Of course durability to be seen but otherwise perfect I see no reason why it wouldn’t outlast the razor itself so no complaints
This is the best razor I have ever brought, it gives me such a close shave and is a pleasure to use!
The brush is 5 stars easily it’s perfect, soft and it’s dries incredibly well the shaving cream on the other hand is great don’t get me wrong but it’s competitor the Shaving soap in my opinion is better worth although the cream makes for a better shave really depends on what you want, me personally great “mileage”.
I bought this four months ago and I LOVE it. I was afraid of cutting myself but it's so hard to do so (and I have never). Personally, the weight is good just something to get used to. It's a little awkward to change the blade but nothing to make me annoyed, just cautious when replacing. I also found that the blades don't really last 3 full days if you use the higher setting (4 and up) but I can still get two uses out of it before it feels rough. The lower settings usually go three. I only use it on my underarms so I can't say for how it works anywhere else, but I'm so happy with the product. Most important to me is no more plastic!!!! Highly recommend:)
Excellent. Presentation is gorgeous and I prefer the length of the tortoise shell to the original. The shave is butter smooth on all plates. Customer service is superb.
Love my razor and these replacement blades, and also very affordable. Recycling tin makes it very convenient to store the blades before recycling.
Replacement razor still has the same blade gap issue. Unusable Razor.
Absolutely love my new Rockwell 2C! Like it so much that I purchased the other two plates to officially make it a 6C. Thank you Rockwell for what is a beautiful razor! Not only is it a handsome razor, but it shaves beautifully, and without any irritation whatsoever! Excellent customer service from Rockwell as well!
Every other shaving soap I have used claimed “rich, creamy lather”, but they always failed. This is the first one I have found that lives up to that claim
Smells nice does the trick although so far it seems the “mileage” might not be as good as let’s say the Rockwell blades which for the price last a really long time
