For blades, I have a rotation of five brands. Choice depends on whatever mood I'm in.
(In no particular order)
Feather
Gillette SilverBlue
Rapira Platinum Lux
Astra SP (Great beginner blade as it's not as sharp. Plus, they're dirt cheap. Box of 100 for as little as $13.50).

Thoughts on the Rockwell product in general? I noticed they have a lower end 2C version and at 25 USD, I think it's a great price to consider the plunge.
EDIT: 2C Page

Note: Both 2C and 6C products are listed on this page.
EDIT: It seems like the 6C reviews favorably to the original 6S they released. The 6S is supposedly stainless steel made in Canada vs the 6C is Chrome Zinc Alloy.
After thinking about it, I preordered the 6C to determine if I want to go further into the world of safety razors. I was very tempted to go with the 2C but since I can't seem to find much info on reviews of the 2C, but quite a few favorable reviews on the 6C, I don't think I can go very wrong with this option price wise and product wise.
Most of the complaints of the 6C were comments relating to what it was made with and due to the Kickstarter price points at the time, many felt it made more sense to go with the 6S. Many of those that tested the 6C commented how surprisingly similar to the 6S it was.
