I wonder if it would be worth waiting for the molds to be polished.If you want a 6S better hurry. Got an email from Rockwell saying they need to have the molds polished and will be out of production for a few months.

I'd take my chances right now for $50. How do you get that deal? On their website it still goes for $100.Rockwell has about ~80 6S left, then none until the molds are polished and services. Currently going for $50.
They say 100 of their Rockwell blades are good for 2 years of shaves. I haven't seen a DE blade that is comfortable to me after about 3 or 4 days tops. Anything special about their blades?

That makes sense.I assume he means the 6c
I am hard core vintage except for Wolfman but the Rockwell line has me intrigued. Like the look of that Model T.

No. Average to below average.
I am not a fan either, though I don't know that I'd go that far. For me, they are similar to Derby/Dorco, which means, ironically, that they don't pair well with the 6s (Astras rock in that razor, for me) but may do well in more aggressive razors such as a Futur.The worst blades I have ever used. Their blades are as bad as their razors are good, IMO.

Try the Parker Variant. Just picked one up, and it kicked my 1961 Slim to the drawer.As the thread title states I have a hundred bucks to play with. Considering an ATT Calypso, Rockwell.....I am pretty well set on vintage Gillettes at this point.
Any others I should be considering ? I could bump up to stainless as a vendor has ATT on sale....as does WCS (their house brand razors).
Thanks!
