Now that I actually enjoy shaving, I got tired of razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Awaiting my Rockwell 6C shaving kit in a couple of days. Can't wait to enter this uncharted territory. How is everyone?

welcome Eddie and enjoy the 6c as quite a good razor . dont be afraid to jump on the forums as they can be a world of information to you .
Good choice! (Both dropping the Mach 3 and getting the 6c.) Welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard! Enjoy the new razor!! 
Welcome!
There is a learning curve. You will need to use less pressure. Much less.
Give yourself time to adjust. Have fun!

Welcome to the forum Eddie. Let us know what you think of the razor when it turns up.
Welcome to the club, Ed. Glad to have you aboard.
Welcome to the forum!
Welcome Ed, glad you joined us!
Basically any kind of DE is better than a cart.
Welcome to B&B.
Welcome to the forum !!
Welcome, and good luck!
Now that you've invested in some quality hardware, you'll most likely come to regard shaving as a pleasure, rather than a chore. Next up, a blade sampler, a brush and some great smelling soaps, creams and aftershaves (you'll never stop at one).
Also, never be afraid to ask questions here. We all think we're experts.
Enjoy!

Words of wisdom here from @Macfrommichigan and @Joshua223 The quality of my shaves jumped big time when I finally understood what “very little pressure” was. You think you aren’t bearing down until you realize - you’re still bearing down. That took me six months to figure out!
And blade angle is super important. The right angle will change from razor to razor. Finding the right angle for each razor lets the blade do its job.
Ok enough advice. Enjoy the process and shave on!
This led to my Slim getting benched for a long time. Now it is my primary DE. I still need to work on my angle though.
Welcome Eddie!
I won't add much other than to echo the sentiment of 'give yourself time'. If your first shaves are fantastic then good for you! But, chances are you may get some irritation . . .you will figure it out. But it takes a little time. Lots of great advice here!
