Surprise delivery yesterday! The razor I have been waiting a year and a half for finally arrived - the Rockwell Model T. I am quite surprised I have not seen any mention of this razor lately...obviously they are being shipped...
I was a KS backer in the 700's. I actually expected to be notified that delivery was coming, but happy anyway.
2-days growth...I decided to throw a Kai in and start on 3 of 6. Used CRSW Glide for maximum cushion, not knowing what I was up against. Glad I did! Lots of blade-feel with this bad boy!!
First 2 passes were efficient, but I took special care, feeling the blade quite a bit...not what I'd consider comfortable, but not unacceptable.
I thought maybe it was the blade, so for the final pass, I threw in my go-to PermaSharp and cranked it to 6. The ATG result was BBS. Had a few nicks, but I can't completely blame the razor, since it was my first voyage and was playing around with settings, angle, blades, etc.
All in all, I'm going to keep it for a while, at least, testing it out. I also got the Parthenon adjustable...that one I will probably pif...the Model T is superior.
15 hours later and still BBS.
