I have a 6C and like it. I returned the Supply razor as well. No comparison.How does the T shave in comparison to the 6C, which I just got and am loving (much nicer than the Supply razor for me which is being returned).

do you think the Model T is a carbon copy of the 6S or does it have a different personality in some ways? I currently use the 6c with R3 plate and shave every other day. I would like some sort of R3.5 plate, slightly deeper but equally delicate. Could I achieve this with the Model T adjustment? What are the components of the Model T in zamak?
Think they said it was made in China. I may be wrong but I think there is some Zamac in it.
Yes, ala Weishi and Vikings Blade.So it's about a $23 razor ?
from China labor rates correct

Rockwell overpromised and realized too late that they could not deliver stainless at the promised price-point, and sooo...
Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, etc., have been producing MIM parts for 1911s for almost 30 years now. It is certainly possible to do for safety razors, in stainless, brass, or copper.
Not trying to crash the thread, but there is no comparison between the MT and the Rex, or even the Pearl Flexi. I would note that the Flexi delivers an incredible shave, is solid brass, and ~$50USD less than the MT...and its CNCd.
I do want to clarify, the Model T was never promised as an all stainless. I think there's a Mandella effect or something because there is no literature from the Rockwell folks promising that, but somehow there are a lot of people who remember it that way. It is mostly brass with a couple zinc alloy components.
Link to Flexi , need to research this beast
It was offered as an all brass initially, which was the point I got involved. They sent out a trial balloon for an all stainless, but decided early on they couldn't do that. Then they fell short on the all brass. Then they fell two years short on the delivery date. Thankfully the super early bird price was the same as a new Futur.
I recall the Kickstarter campaign initially stating all brass or all stainless, don't remember exactly which, but it was one of the two. Regardless, you cannot honestly achieve a $150 razor with zamak. Period. Granted, the market may support the hype, but the product itself does not. After almost 40 years, Merkur still charges $75+ for the Futur, and those molds were paid for ages ago, which is why I will support the $14 Chinese knock-off- its fair market value.
Aggression means not smooth? Is more efficient and similar in smoothness or It Is rough ?Maybe it's mine, but I think the Model T is several steps above the 6C in terms of aggression. 1 or 2 on the T would equal about 4 or 5 on my 6C.
There's a lot of blade exposure. I would say it is very smooth but much easier to slice oneself.Aggression means not smooth? Is more efficient and similar in smoothness or It Is rough ?
The REX is definitely more aggressive than the 6C if you're comparing # to #. I shave at 1.5 or below on the REX while I use a 3 plate on the 6C. The REX gives me a better shave, but the 6C is super simple to shave with.Rex Ambassador Is a beutiful razor but i think that it's more aggressive than 6C-6S. I would like an R3 level of smoothness with a bit more "power". Rex Ambassador Is too much, and i believe also Rex Envoy.
