I’m a long time wet shaver and have several nice razors. My daily razor is my Rex Ambassador. I say that because that’s what I now compare everything else too. I was also one of the people who bought the original Model T and had to return it because it was terrible. I almost didn’t buy this Model T2, because of that experience and because I am very happy with my current daily shaver. That being said, I wanted a quality, TTO, adjustable and was still intrigued by Rockwell. So I took a chance.
You guys nailed it. The razor and stand are immaculate. The TTO mechanism and adjustments are flawless. The knurling is great and the razor feels heavy, but in a good way. I had an awesome shave with some Murphy & McNeil soap, my Simpson brush and the supplied Rockwell blades. I have sensitive skin so I started on level 2. That knocked down my 2 day beard really nicely on the first pass. I went down to 1.5 for pass 2 and finally 1 for my third pass. Perfect! I love the audible feedback. It feels great in my hand, no slipping even when wet. I have to say I like this razor a lot. I look forward to getting more shaves in and using some other blades.
