I just spent $58 on 2 Fatip, an OC Black Tie Original & a Gentile. 2 Fatips heads & handles for under $60. And plenty of cash left for blades, soap, cream & after shave.
Fatip (Grande and FOCS) and Razorock (Game Changer and Lupo) are among the best budget razors on the market. Another good option is the Pearl Flexi. The Flexi is ''basically'' a Rex Ambassador, but a lot cheaper. Those are the ones that i've used and they are all great and i'm sure that there are many more that I have yet to try.
Have you owned one? I have had two (still use one often) and they are excellent.

If you are looking for a high efficiency razor:
Blackland Dart
Fatip Lo Storto Originale
Ikon B1 Standard
Karve Brass SB-G
Hope this helps.

Comparison of DE Razors in My Den From ~$75 to ~$125 (USD)
I have a number of nice razors, available new in the (approximately) $75 to $150 (USD) price range. Figured I'd compile my shaving notes and pics in one place with additional impressions of each razor, positive and negative. ***Please remember that I do NOT chase BBS. My shaves are routinely in...

Strange but sometimes the GC 0.84-P feels a bit tangy on my skin efficient but not as smooth then the 6S with R5/R6 my guess its the different exposure not so much the gapCheck out this thread:

Gillette NEW DeLuxe. Should be able to get a nice one for $60-$75, so a bit left over for soaps, blades, etc.
I've been wet shaving since 2013, (but shaving since 1985) and have over 50 razors. Guess which one I use more than any others?? Paired with a Polsilver or Nacet, makes for an effortless, stunning shave.... every time.

I have had no issues whatsoever with it. I’ve seen some of the photos from the so called QC problems and mine looks exactly as they do and works great. I think some folks blame poor technique on their tools.
There probably are some bad razors out there, but what I don’t hear is what percentage are bad and does Rockwell make them good.

Do you find it better than say RFB?
wait for that blackland era to drop and spend the rest on proraso green soap and splash for some cooling summertime shaves

Yep...nice choice. EJ 3one6 is another great option.

At $100, you may score a good used Feather AS-D2 with patience. I too have a Rockwell 6S (my fav), but also love the Feather. Theres also the much anticipated 3-D printed Blackland Era that will be $75.
Unsure either will meet your needs as well as the Karve, but worth the consideration.
All the best!
I don’t understand why you’d recommend the Rockwell 6S to the OP, who asked for recommendations on a DE razor to add to his “beloved Rockwell 6S”.
Be Austin somehow missed the part about him having the 6S. But now I’m wondering why he wants another razor.
As soon as I read your title, Rockwell 6S and Karve brass with two plates came to mind.
Then I read your post and it confirmed my thought of the Karve brass with two plates (which will come to about $100).
I love my Karve brass. One of the most beautiful razors, which only gets better as the patina forms.
It's ultra smooth but you will need to adjust the angle compared to the 6S. You need to ride the cap a little more with the Karve.
I had a Rockwell 6C (not the 6S you have) and the Game Changer .84, but neither was the right razor for me (although both are excellent razors). I now have four razors that might be good candidates for you: Blackland Dart, Edwin Jagger 3one6, Fatip FOCS, and Muhle Rocca. If I had to pick only one, it would be the Dart, although any one of them is a great choice and could be the one razor I used every day. The Dart just appeals most to me because of its looks, and the way it feels in my hand and on my face. I use it about 2/3 of the time, but when I use one of the others I always wonder why I don't use that razor more often.
In short, there are many good options and few bad ones.

Karve Brass SB-G (Widebody Cap)
Ride the bar (steep angle), minimal pressure, outstanding shaves.
