I was impressed when my order arrived; everything I needed and colour of the razor was gorgeous (Red) - excellent kit. This wasn't the first time I used a stainless razor I used to use my ex-huband's and had to switch to plastic when we parted company and actually the razor was the thing I missed most! On a serious note, I chose Rockwell as it was the "Holy Grail of razors", good reputation and the 6S was meant to eliminate razor rash, razor bumps, nicks and irritation. I hate to say it but it doesn't eliminate razor rash, bumps or irritation (not for me anyway) but will I admit it isn't as bad as I have had with others and you do get a much closer shave than plastic (even though I am still on Plate 1).
I have yet to use the different plates on the razor so maybe that will make a difference - time will tell! The blades are excellent quality as well. Is it worth the money? Personally I think it is an outstanding piece of kit; I wish I had thought of buying one my teenage son/daughter so it would last them a lifetime if they cared for them ... the razor will probably outlast me and then I could have warranted the money to buy it. As a woman it was expensive but eco; definitely a better closer shave and cheaper than buying plastic so even if it is underused compared to the market it was intended - which is male - then it is an investment purchase. I gave it 4 stars purely because I still got razor rash and I would recommend it for a woman to buy - do not be put off that it is marketed for males so the aesthetics of the razor is not geared for a woman - it really is beautiful in Red, functional and eco - just don't let your partner get there hands on it LOL!
