I have a Rockwell 6C (Gunmetal) and am using it with Feather blades on setting 5 or 6. I have a bit of trouble shaving under my nose, also the corners of my mouth. Thinking it is because the 6C has quite a bulky head, and I am wondering if I would fare any better with a Game Changer .84? Some reviews (comparisons) seem to suggest I would. What do those who use both think?

Rockwell 6C bulky head issue

I have both the rockwell 6C and the gamechanger JAWS (similar thin head to the 0.84)
Yes you will fare better with the GC, and this is due to the head being so thin and nimble that it can get anywhere with ease. But you can still get the job done with the 6C, a xtg stroke with the corner concentrating on the upper lip/nose area then a ATG same spot
Hi @Statman, is there much difference in efficiency between the plate 6 and the Jaws

yes absolutely.. the JAWS is >> efficient than plate 6 on 6C.. i also think that the jaws is just as smooth, if not smoother than the 6C
JAWS is nearly on par with the R41 in efficiency but much much smoother, as i said on par with rockwell 6C plate 6 smoothness

that depends on the user and technique, i personally can use it as a daily (all my shavers are efficient r41, jaws, timeless 0.95)
to better answer your question it would be handy to know what you currently use for a daily driver? is it just the 6C and on plate 6?
Hi @bernie01 I had similar issues with the Rockwell 6. For me it was too rigid and not getting into the deep crevices between jawbone and ear or upper lip.
I find the GC-84P to be a perfect daily razor. It's as nimble as Gillette New or Tech and more efficient. JAWS is more efficient again if you are chasing BBS but also more aggressive and not a daily shaver.
I am waiting Karve with E plate and a few other RR razors to compare with GC because I want variety in rotation

Thanks to all for the responses. I should have mentioned that I am retired and NOT a daily shaver. I shave every 2-3 days unless social occasions dictate more frequent. I am certainly sorely tempted by a GC, either the 84P or OC/JAWS. I certainly don't have a heavy beard but after a few days it can be a challenge.

Go the jaws then, shaving every 2-3 days is perfect for it, will eat up the growth and do it smoothly, super efficient
Well, with limited experience of wet shaving I'd say not too sensitive. My first few shaves with the 6C I had a little irritation but as time went on and I progressed to the more aggressive 5/6 plates (and probably improved my technique) I've had no issues.
At USD$185 + USD$25 postage it's out of my league.
Finally decided on the GC 84P and back ordered it a few weeks ago, along with the Cella. Arrived Brisbane yesterday; VSHOD put it straight in the post and arrived at Wollongong today!
First shave impression is that it's like I'd imagine the Rockwell 6S on '7'... used a Feather blade as that's what I've been using. Will try some of the supplied Polsilver and Nacet blades soon. Bonus 'Lord of the Rings' ring and chain, as well as the blades, great service.
