Rockwell 5/6 Plate - Gunmetal

I got the 2C safety razor and wasn't getting as close of a shave from using the other plates. Ordered the 5/6 plates and surprised how fast it arrived at my door. Have yet to use them but hope it solves my shaving issues. Great service by Rockwell!

I started with the Rockwell 2c and learned I needed a more aggressive cut. I used this plate with the 2c and it did the job perfectly.

I have been using the 6c with the 1/3 plate for 3 years now. But really enjoying the 5/6 for a closer shave.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
This plate works perfectly with my face.
Close shave, no nicks or cuts, and no irritation.
Perfect!!!

Had the 2C, grew out of it quick. Went back and forth...the 2/4 or 5/6.
Yes for the money I should of got the 6C. Buying two plates with shipping just was not going to be cost effective. Decided on the 5/6..love it..so far just using the 5. Two passes..BBS.. no irritation...happy.

Customer service is awesome!! Thank you for an great razor!! Love it!!!

I first bought the razor with only the 1/3 plate and it was a real deception as I wasn't able to have close chave. With the 5/6 plate I am able to have the same feeling than with my previous razor (a Timor by Giesen und Forsthoff). Not sure I will have any use of all the plates I have but future will tell. And I love the gunmetal aspect :)

If you cheaped-out and bought the 2C when you should have bought the 6C, Rockwell has you covered by selling the other plates. Generally, this adjustable razor system is less aggressive than other razors out there and having only the 1/3 plate was very limiting; I couldn’t get a close enough shave even when I did 3 passes with the 3 plate. Now, I’ll go with the grain on 6, across the grain on 4, and against on 2.

Lost my R5/6 plate . Edmond from customer service took care of me. Rockwell rocks! You got a customer for life here.

I haven't actually used the 5/6 plate yet, but having used the other two plates, maybe I can at least give an opinion. I'm one of those people who started with the 2C. You know where this is going. Long story short; then I had to have the 2/4 plate. Then why not get the 5/6 and have the whole set. This system is fantastic. It will tame the harshest of blades, which for me is the Crystal. I used the two plate for that and it's BBS with two passes with no irritation. These people have totally figured out the angle, gap, and exposure geometry of a razor. My only regret is that I didn't start with the 6C in the first place.
