Rockwell's own

[lurchbrian]

Is it just me or am I right these blades are sharp to start but dont last that long ?
I got a pack with my 6c but am only getting 3-4 shaves before they get snatch happy even my derby extras get 6-7 shave before I change them out .
this is just a small grumble because im happy with there razor .

I can get just one good shave with those blades. IMHO, they are about the worst on the market.

I wouldnt even say that they start all that sharp. I find Rockwell blades to be tuggy.

I have heard that the old (black) tucks were worse than the new (white) ones. I've only tried the white ones, and while they're not bad per se, I wouldn't buy any (more). They had very similar characteristics to some Baili blades I tried, it wouldn't surprise me if they were the actual manufacturer.

I have not tried Rockwell blades mainly due to the negative feedback. I don’t think I have read a really positive review yet.

 

[BigJ]

Not on my ‘to try’ list because the reviews have been so negative.

 

[dmshaver]

I've read so many bad reviews on Rockwell blades, I haven't tried them.

I got some tucks as part of a BST trade. Black packaging. With low expectations I was surprised to get two BBS days out of a blade. I have been tossing at 2 rather than 3 days.

Update: finished a 5 blade tuck of Rockwells and started Polsilvers. Same razor, same brush, same soap. While the Rockwells can get the job done when being really slow and careful, there are other blades that are just a lot better. I'd pay 2x or 3x for Polsilvers over the Rockwells without hesitation.

oh so im not the only one that thinks the razors are good but the blades are crap then.

No, you're pretty much mainstream.

100% agree.... as low down there with the Shark SS..... both blades I could not finish one side of my face

 

[emwolf]

I've got both the black pack and white pack. The whites are a lot better but still not great.

Dull and tugging from the start and all downhill from there.

The 6S is my daily driver but the blades ...
