Has anyone tried the free 100 blades that come with a Rockwell razor? Any good? I’m assuming not but hey.....
Rockwell Blades?

I'm not a fan of Rockwell branded blades, but I've read some people love them.
Blades are always very subjective. It’s all about finding the right combination between your razor, your blade, and your face. I also find that different blades work better for me in different razors. So it’s all about trying out blades until you find the ones that work for you. I didn’t care for the Rockwell blades in my 6s, my black beauty, or my Rex ambassador.
I received a tuck, not 100. I didn’t use them at all because of the large amount of criticism. Then after I had been DE shaving for about a year I used one. It worked fine for me. It wasn’t the best and I doubt I’ll ever buy 100, but it didn’t harm me. I do not have a heav beard and my skin isn't overly sensitive for what it’s worth.
Meh. Not that good and not that bad.
I have about 150 of them on hand and use them from time to time. Most were free with razors and I have a couple of 20 packs I got from Marshall’s for peanuts on clearance when I first started using DE razors.
I wouldn’t buy them with my own $$$ as Dorco Primes and even Derby's are much better and not as expensive.
Rockwell blades are just low to medium quality rebranded Chinese blades. Useable but I have at least a dozen other brands that I much prefer.

Tried the Rockwell blade which came with my 6C not the worst but there's much better blades out there
For me it's my number one blade 
For me, it is the worst blades I have ever used. Dull and rough.
I tried 1 of the 100 free new I got with my 6S. I see no reason to try the other 99. The upside is I can now put a fresh blade in my baker's lame every time I make bread.

I smell like a Christmas pudding
Along with Derby Extra they are the worst blades I have ever tried and the only time I have ever thrown unused blades in the trash. Don't let that put you off 
Do Rockwell actually manufacture blades? At a guess I would say they come from the East with Rockwell livery printing. A few companies use Swedish steel but that seems to be the only clue.

I enjoy the current offering. Not the best, but by far not the worst.

I concur with the prevailing sentiment here: I've found the Rockwell blades to be pretty dreadful. That's a shame, because the razors are outstanding. The selection of these blades for their private label brand is one of among other really poor business decisions the boys at Rockwell have made. For perhaps a few pennies more per blade, they surely could have sourced a blade that would showcase the true performance of their excellent razors. As it is, selling their razors with these blades is like selling a Porsche with recaps on it. What are they thinking? You have to wonder if these guys even use their own product.
Used one today in my Rockwell 6S Matte Black. Great shave.
