Rockwell Razors 6C Adjustable Safety Razor
The 6S's adjustable geometry in chrome-plated zinc - fully metal and plastic-free, at a lower price, with a plated finish rather than solid steel.
The verdict: Plastic-free
Fully metal and plastic-free, exactly like the 6S: an all-metal body with a standard double-edge steel blade and no plastic cartridge or strip. The difference is the metal itself. Where the 6S is solid 316L stainless, the 6C is chrome-plated zinc (zamak) - the same head geometry and the same shave, at a lower price. This is the stainless-vs-plated-zinc distinction worth understanding: plated zinc is still 100% metal and just as plastic-free, but the chrome layer sits over softer zinc and can eventually chip or dull at the edges, where the solid-stainless 6S won't. It's a material-durability tradeoff, not a cleanliness one.
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Skin contact |
|---|---|---|
| body chrome-plated zinc - same geometry as the 6S, plated not solid | Zinc Alloy Zamak | No |
| blade | Stainless Steel grade unspecified | Yes primary |
The budget sibling of the 6S: the same adjustable double-edge design with swappable base plates across six settings, cast in chrome-plated zinc instead of machined from solid stainless. It takes the same standard DE blades and shaves the same way; the plated-zinc build is lighter and costs less.
Pros
- Same adjustable six-setting geometry as the 6S for much less
- Fully metal and plastic-free, uses recyclable DE blades
- A low-risk entry point into DE shaving
Cons
- Chrome-over-zinc plating can eventually chip or dull, unlike solid stainless
- Lighter feel than the solid-steel 6S

- review https://nebrito.com/rockwell-6c-white-chrome/ retailer listing confirms the 6C is chrome-plated Zamak (zinc alloy), vs the 6S "chiseled from solid stainless steel"
