I purchased a Rockwell 4 plate. For me ( medium hair every other day shaver). The difference from the 3 plate is pretty stark. I'm a two pass shaver. The 4 plate gets it done in one pass with some slight buffing. Have to adjust the technique a little
Rockwell 3 to 4 plate. Wow!

I find my 3-4 plate is fine for getting the job done efficiently too. I’m an every other day shaver but sometimes become an every 3 days shaver, which I need to fall out of the habit of doing again!
I’ve been using my 6s for the last few shaves with plate 5-6 and have been alternating between 5-6 just for the fun of it. Can’t say I notice a significant difference between the two or that the 5-6 is that more efficient than plate 3-4. My friend who I managed to persuade giving DE shaving a go though, who was getting major neck irritation with cartridge razors, couldn’t get on with plates 1-2 or 3-4 but 5-6 seemed to work better for him.

The Rockwell 2C is the razor with just the 1-3 plate, so 2 configurations. The 6C comes with all three plates, with 6 configurations.
I had a 6s with all the plates. Wanted to love it, gave it away.
Just noticed I ballsed up the numbers with the previous post! I meant plates 1-3 and 2-4, not 1-2, 3-4 - doh!
I started with plate 3 for a few years, then moved to plate 4 for a few more years. Recently have started using plate 6 which is surprisingly smooth and efficient. I thought it would cut my face up but it doesn't.
For me, plate 4 is just right!
