I'm going to commend Rockwell at this point.  Creating a "new" adjustable in the mirror of Gilette adjustables isn't easy and frankly, is impressive.  I stand by my impressions of the 6s campaign but, I will say this, for their age these guys have THICK SKIN and are determined as hell.  They have my respect, and frankly I wish them well.  Guys like this might just make wet shaving more than a niche even if never completely becomes mainstream again.

Fair enough and I apologize for the slight interlude.

Best of luck to the both gentlemen with this new razor as it is quite exciting to see an adjustable in brass! Shy

Am curious to see what comes out, I'd be interested to see what the price for a stainless steel version would be.

Honestly I was expecting a slant, not an adjustable.

I'm down anyhow!

Congratulations Rockwell Razors! I have samples of Rockwell blades that I'm going to give a try soon.

If it was stainless steel it would cost north of $200 easily. Brass and chrome is fine with me.

Most likely it would, given how many components there are. But what can I say, I'm just curious.

Absolutely agree, just look at the Gillette tto razors, they are still around and made of coated brass. The only part that got me is at the beginning when the internals were planned to zinc, once they changed their mind and went with brass I joined the 2nd tier on kickstarter and I'm happy they listened to us.

I'm in!  As of last night.

I think  the change in materials for the internal parts is great.  Kudos, GarRockwell! Way to step up and fast!

I love the interaction going on here!  Thanks DFS!
