How to Set Up Your Rockwell 6S with Inkwell Stand

Quick answer

To set up your Rockwell 6S with the Inkwell Stand, unpack all parts, choose a dry, level spot, and mount the razor head-down in the stand. If you ordered the matte kit, expect two shipments: the razor arrives first, and the stand follows within a few weeks.

Step-by-step setup for your Rockwell 6S with Inkwell Stand

1. Unpack and inspect all parts: Remove the razor, the stand base, and the vertical post from the box. Check for any scratches, dents, or missing pieces. If the stand is the two-piece design, ensure the post fits snugly into the base. If anything is damaged or missing, contact Rockwell support before proceeding. Confirm the stand is complete and undamaged before assembly.
2. Choose a dry, level location: Place the stand on a flat, dry surface away from the sink edge and water splashes. A countertop near the sink but not directly under the faucet works best. Avoid placing it on a towel or uneven surface, as this can cause the stand to wobble. A level, dry spot prevents the stand from tipping and keeps the razor stable.
3. Assemble the stand (if two-piece): If your stand has a separate base and post, insert the post into the base and twist gently until it locks or sits flush. Do not force it—if it doesn't fit, check for debris or misalignment. A loose fit can cause the razor to wobble. Ensure the post is fully seated and stable before placing the razor.
4. Mount the razor head-down: Hold the Rockwell 6S by the handle and lower the head into the stand's cradle. The razor should rest with the head down and the handle pointing up. This position allows water to drain away from the blade and prevents moisture from pooling in the head. Always store the razor head-down to promote drying and protect the blade edge.
5. Test stability and adjust: Gently nudge the stand to make sure it doesn't rock or slide. If it moves, reposition it or choose a different spot. If the razor sits at an angle, check that the post is fully inserted and the base is level. A stable stand prevents accidental drops and keeps your razor safe.
6. Organize your shave kit around the stand: Place your brush, soap, and aftershave within easy reach but not so close that they could knock the stand over. Keep the stand away from the edge of the counter to avoid accidental bumps. A tidy, organized setup makes your morning shave more efficient.
