I think someone somewhere said that it would technically make more sense to polish stainless steel than to plate it. If Rockwell would ever release a polished version of the 6S I know I'd get one.On the Razor Emporium YouTube channel, Matt recently did a shave off between the 6c, 6s, and his rhodium plated 6s. His results were surprising to me. From what I recall, he found the 6s to not be as smooth as the other two. Hopefully I don’t ruffle any feathers of 6s owners with this post
