SETPOINT™ Black Shave Set

Very smooth and efficient razor.

The more i use it the more I like it

I love this razor so much

This is my second Rockwell, the other being a T2. While I really like the T2, the SetPoint is in a league of its own. A thing of beauty and practicality. The razor is nice and light, but gives an amazing shave. It’s like having 6 razors in one. I can’t say enough good about it. Rockwell, you hit it out of the park with the SetPoint!

I own 5 other DE safety razors, and have to say, this SetPoint just passed them all in terms of providing a good shave with minimal disturbances like skin irritation, and nicks…..

Overall this is a fantastic razor, and I am enjoying it throughly. The adjustment is very nice. The one little thing I will say is when you take it apart to dry it, the metal bar that wraps around the bottom is very very difficult to get back in. And I am worried I am going to break it if I unscrew it too much to let it dry

Absolutely Amazing Razor. Best stainless I've ever used hands down. Perfect in every way!

Fantastic razor..nice and light, brilliantly adjustable giving the perfect shave. Highly recommended, now my favourite razor.

This razor is simply amazing!… its the perfect positioning between the 6s and T2 ss, Rockwell has created a product that possesses the ability to adjust its aggressiveness and appears to have introduced a razor with a slightly different blade angle (at least it feels like it to me) from both the 6s and T2 for an even more comfortable shave!! Then there’s the fit and finish, if you know Rockwell, their razors exemplify the highest quality, this razor is on the next level… its closest competitor costs hundreds of dollars more!!! You have to try this razor to understand how special it is!!!

I’ve been on a bit of a journey with shaving, and I reckon I got a bit lost in all the options for razors and blades. I was after something perfect for a daily shave—gentle on my sensitive neck but tough enough for my coarse whiskers. That’s the rabbit hole I dove into!

My third purchase was a Rockwell 6C from an Aussie retailer. I wanted to figure out what my skin needed and which plate worked best. On my first go, I started on plate one and ended up on plate six in one pass. I usually do two passes, but I thought I’d try a three-pass shave. I stuck with plate six for the last two passes and got my first proper BBS shave. After that, I used plate six all the time, but my neck started getting pretty irritated. I gave it a five-day break to settle down and found that plate four for the first pass and plate two for the last was spot on for my face. Still, swapping plates mid-shave is a bit of a faff.

My sixth razor was the SETPOINT (SP), and Rockwell’s done a cracker with this one! I’d watched heaps of reviews from YouTube shaving legends who’d been sent the SP to review by Rockwell, so I knew to set it one notch lower than usual. I started on four, but it felt a bit sharp on the first stroke, so I dropped to three and finished on one. It gave me a BBS shave straight away and has kept it up ever since—the first razor to do that for me.

Everyone raves about the Henson’s 30-degree angle, but with the SP, whatever angle it lands on my face feels just right. It’s a really gentle process.

Coming from an engineering background, I reckon the thread on the top cap is pretty minimal. I haven’t seen the CAD drawings for the razor, but surely it could be extended by at least 2 mm without hitting the bottom of the bore? A longer thread would definitely help it last longer – minimum is minimum, after all.

I was having a tough time finding a neck shave that didn’t irritate me, so I followed Sharpologist’s advice and grabbed the aluminium SP instead of the stainless steel one (link below). It’s paid off big time – I get a smooth, irritation-free shave every time now. I’d highly recommend this razor; it’s easily the best buy in my DE safety razor journey by far.

Well designed and built. Love the ability to adjust on the fly but razor clamps on well to the blade. My new favorite!

This razor has been great. I had never had an adjustable razor before, and as someone who routinely goes 1-2 weeks between shaves, I love being able to start at setting 6 for my neck and cheeks, and dial back to settings 1 and 2 for around the lips. Overall this makes shaving go much quicker, because I’m not having to pause as often to rinse away all the accumulated hair in the razor. On my old non-adjustable, this was a laborious and slow process due to having to rinse so much.

I was initially worried that it would shave too aggressively at the higher dial settings. However, by the second use, I had no issue shaving at setting 6 with essentially the same technique as my old non-adjustable.

Lastly, I like the adjustment dial being positioned at the top of the handle, right underneath the clutch. I don’t feel like my palm will accidentally adjust the dial while shaving, the way I might if it was on the other end.

Best beginner razor. Disposal razor my biggest mistake.

I’m really impressed with this razor. I’m glad I decided to add it to my collection.

As a lifelong wet shaver, I was firmly in the cartridge camp for decades. A few years ago, I decided to give safety razors a try. I never had a problem with the quality of my cartridge shaves, but I liked the idea of not mortgaging the house for blades. I bought one safety razor, then another, then another, and over the next year I amassed seven. I didn’t want to become a collector or take up a new hobby; I just wanted a very close shave with no irritation, no nicks, and no drama. I tried single-edge and double-edge, adjustable and fixed, single-blade and multi-blade. I tried blades including Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide, Gillette Nacet Stainless, Feather, Leaf and Vikings Blade (which came with one of the razors). I was still chasing the shave my cartridges gave me.

Then I ordered the SETPOINT in stainless steel (I like some heft). Wow! This is the one. I’ve had it for two weeks and shave with it most days, and I get extremely close shaves with no nicks, using settings 1–2.

I have been trialling the Setpoint Razor for the last three weeks using different settings and blades. It is a well engineered razor and gives a decent shave but I have been getting slight razor burn on my neck. I much prefer my stainless steel 6s which has more "heft" and shaves more smoothly than the aluminium Setpoint.

Over the last decade I have owned old style adjustable gillettes, Rex ambassador, razor, and many others. Used this set point twice since I received it in the mail and I have to say this is the best one to date. The shaving is very smooth and precise. The quality is top notch. This razor will Outlast me. I even had the Rockwell 6s when it first came out and I would say this one is even better. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Overall, I'm very impressed with the Rockwell Set Point razor. The razor itself performs exceptionally well and delivers a phenomenal shave. It's comfortable, effective, and does exactly what you'd want a quality razor to do.

However, I do have one complaint about the handle. The tightening mechanism is a little quirky, and you have to be careful not to overtighten it. If you do, loosening it can produce a horrible stripping or clicking sound that doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Other than that, I think this is a great razor. The shaving performance is outstanding, but I do think the handle mechanism could use some refinement.

Bottom line: Excellent shaving performance, but the handle's tightening mechanism leaves a little to be desired.

Great

Bought a bunch of razor handles for blade gap variety like a fool. Picked this lil bro up and it’s a one stop shop for daily shaving but able to handle letting yourself go a few days with super stubble. Only issue I ever had was my own forgetfulness in reducing the blade gap when I hit certain part of my mug. Like today I shaved my scrubby face with the 5 and forgot to drop it down when going for the chin area. My fault. Lesson learned. Otherwise this thing is not a punisher. Super easy as to learn the angle as a newbie and I enjoy my shaving experience now. I might go as far as to say I have fun shaving because of this dude. Setpoint set me straight. Big fan and I don’t use my gang of other razors now unless I travel because I’m cool losing those but I don’t want to go through the emotions of losing this one. Aww. I love my Setpoint. ‘Merica!

Ever since I received my Rockwell SETPOINT, my shave has been so smooth & you can easily the change the blade gap from 1-6. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a smooth shave & a convenient way of doing it

I had sent back the black aluminum one and ordered the stainless steel one from razor emporium. I am very happy with the stainless steel. I am waiting for refund for the black aluminum one.

Fine deal in every way v

I love the new Rockwell SETPOINT adjustable razor. I thought my Rockwell 6s was fabulous, and it still is, but I like this better. It doesn’t have the blade overhang on the edges, its adjustable, the handle is longer, the weight is perfect, and it cleans easily since it’s a 2 piece razor. Yes, it’s pricey, but it’s made to last.
I’m grateful to have it.Great job Rockwell.

I have gotten 10 or more great shave with this razor. It looks like it will be in my top 5 of my 36 razors I have. No matter if you are just starting out or have been shaving for years this razor will work great for you

I rated it sight unseen, just knowing the quality of your products. I am out of the country right now so it is waiting for me to get back. I think it has all the best design elements.

They are great safety razors

Best adjustable razor period.
