Apparently there's been yet another bump in the road for this ill-fated razor. Some complaints of uneven blade gap. The following was ripped from a post on Reddit:
According to the Kickstarter comments section, shipping was delayed again due to a newly discovered production problem.
> Dear Backers, we’ve been watching the feedback from the initial Model T shipments extremely closely, and wanted to provide some quick updates. 99% of the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, which we’re excited to hear - we think The Model T is the best product we’ve ever made! However, a small handful of backers have mentioned that they’re found a slight difference in blade gap from one side of the head to the other. This is an issue that wasn’t found during the final production testing, so this obviously set off some questions for our assembly and quality team. All the razors that have shipped out have been confirmed to be within extremely tight tolerances, so since being notified we have been diligently investigating this internally, and we’ve paused further assemblies and shipments while we look into this. We want every backer to have a 5-star experience with their Model T and we're working closely with our engineers on implementing a final key QC step that will ensure this happens. Once we have more information from the assembly investigation, we’ll be providing more updates leading up to the April 27th update on how / if this will affect the current planned shipping timeline. It's been fantastic to see our backers' enthusiasm to receive their Model T razor, especially as the initial glowing reviews have been coming out. We can't wait to get one of these razors to each and every one of your doorsteps!

> As mentioned, we had quite a few razors queued up to ship these past couple of weeks, but decided against proceeding until we could assess each and every one with a new QC step for a final time. Frankly, at this point in production, assembling and shipping the remaining razors is not a bottleneck for us, but rather ensuring that each one that's shipped meets high standards. Our engineers have already devised an excellent solution for this latest bump in the road and we're working on instituting a new QC step into our assembly process that's sure to get us back up and running in no time. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

> Unfortunately, as outlined in our latest post, we've had to temporarily suspend shipments this past week, but you can rest assured that you're next up in the queue to receive your razor. The first round of White Chrome Model T razors were actually shipped out to Canadian backers, a decision that was made simply due to their proximity to our Canadian assembly facility. Watch out for that shipping warning email, as we're preparing to get your shipped as soon as the latest batch has arrived to our Chicago distribution facility. I can definitely understand your frustration with the numerous delays these past few months - thanks for your understanding and for baring with us while we work on getting the razor into your hands. We will be making an effort to keep you all up as up to date as possible in the coming weeks and I'll work on releasing a more concrete shipping timeline as soon as possible. Cheers. Grigori
They haven't issued an Update regarding this issue, but information can be found scattered across a handful of recent comments from Rockwell in regards to people's questions about shipping progress. I think only a bare handful of razors were shipped to backers before the problem was reported which is why we haven't seen more people talk about their new razors.
Wow, this is getting a little ridiculous... I feel for you guys that are having to go through all of this just for a razor. I would've bailed by now that's for sure.
