Thread: Anyone using a Rockwell 6S DE Razor?

So for those who use the adjustable DE...
Do you change the setting as you shave or with different blades or do you get to some setting and then just stay with it?

I use a straight got my face but an adjustable DE for my head. Once I find the setting that works for me, that's pretty much where the razor stays. I've seen a few people who make adjustments on each pass, and this razor would not be a great fit for that method. But for the set it and forget it crowd, this 6S would fit nicely, if it turns out to be a good shaver.

Everyone is different in how they use an adjustable DE from what I can read. Me, I worked up to the setting with the most blade gap and left it there for all my passes and any blade during a shave.

Nice thing about an adjustable is that it is flexible enough to allow you other options. It is a razor you can grow into because as your technique improves you can increase the razor's aggressiveness.
