looks great. can you offer some comparisons as far as aggressiveness. I believe there was another thread that mentioned it was relatively mild? I would also be interested in a pass around prior to purchase.

Is it the one that Mantic leisureguy kicked around a couple of years ago?

It looks familiar to me but I haven't searched back for the one I'm thinking of. It may just be a coincidence.

Will you guys be organizing a pass around? Would love to try it out and give some impressions.


Absolutely great idea! As we get closer to release date - yes! Thx

That was one of our prototypes - yes. Guard changed since then as well as many other features. Shave is also different.

I find that my favorite setting is 3-3.5. For comparison I have a de89 I love and it feels similar on this setting. I also have an original ikon open comb circa 2011 ( s.n. 47) that this reminds me of at 4 or so. Good range for sure!

I am intrigued. Wish Gareth would look into this as a potential group buy as well.

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.

No, he's taking about Gareth from The Handle Bar Supply. You know, the guy who was organizing the DFS group buy from Rocnel.
