Gareth as in Gareth from Rockwell? You do realize that the Model T the head itself has 4 pieces, the handle is 3 pieces.... If I assume you are referring that the Model T should of been machined from the get go then machining 7 different pieces would of cost big chunk of money, you might have no problem paying up to 350-400 for that kind of razor but in reality the KS campaign would of fall a part.
That's why Gareth choose SS Model T where only the head parts are MIM process, considering how good are the 6S plates and cap when it comes to accuracy and they also look good too finish wise, its also cheaper for mass production, might not be strong as chunk of SS but no doubt its very strong.... Well it was a no brainer that he choose the head parts to be MIM process.
