It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

September update and price change. Not a bad update but, still projecting to fulfill orders in December and perhaps going into 2019. That's my guess at least.....

September Update 2/2 - Updated Shipping Timelines
Dear Backers,
We’re happy to share with you our latest news, and the shipping timeline we mentioned earlier this month! We’ve continued shipping the Model T razors with the One-Piece T-Bar and other engineering improvements detailed in our recent updates. Nearly 1000 White Chrome Model T razors have gone out to backers including many shipments to backers outside North America. The feedback from this initial production with the engineering changes has made few things become increasingly clear. Firstly, the One-Piece T-Bar has been the final integral piece to getting to a razor that would meet our high quality standards.
Secondly, we’ve been able to reach new unexpected efficiencies in assembly with the new One-Piece T-Bar, but we’ll have more on that later in the update! Finally, we now have a razor that delivers our backers the phenomenal shaves you expect from a Rockwell Razor. We’re feeling very confident in the response we’ve been getting since our last engineering changes, and can’t wait to hear the positive reviews about perfect shaves from each and every one of you!
Onto the timeline that many of you have been waiting for! We’ve been working diligently with our manufacturing partners, engineering, assembly and QC teams to gain clarity on the shipping timelines we can confidently share with all of you. Now that we have vetted the engineering changes we’re happy to announce that all of the necessary production is now moving full steam ahead - that means continuing production of the full quantity of One-Piece T-Bar required and assembly with our improved production and QC process. This production is starting immediately. We expect to ship all remaining Kickstarter pledge rewards by mid-to-late December, and many of you will be receiving your pledge reward before the Christmas / Holiday season! We're currently expecting that all Indiegogo rewards, White Chrome, Gunmetal and Brushed Chrome will ship during the month of December. We appreciate all of your support and patience while we have worked to get the Model T right, and we (and many of your fellow backers) are quite certain you will find it more than worth the wait!
In a final piece of related news, we’ve been working diligently to hit better efficiencies in our production and assembly processes. Our goal has been to have the Model T reach a price point that’s more accessible to the vast majority of customers looking to eliminate razor burn, ingrown hairs, and cartridge-cuts, all while getting the most affordable shave of their lives. We knew that the $195 retail price point for the Model T would limit accessibility, but before the successful implementation of the One-Piece T-Bar, there was no way to hit our lower price-point targets. We’re happy to announce that with the One-Piece T-Bar, we’ll be able to adjust the final retail price of the Model T to $119 USD - this means that our backers have still received up to a 34% discount off the retail price of the razor alone, plus the additional bonuses shipping with each razor (who’s excited to not have to buy razors blades for several years?!).
We’ll also be introducing a special lifetime discount “MVP Program” on all Rockwell products for all Model T backers to thank you for your patience - more details on that to come. In addition to the lifetime discounts, in the future we’ll be offering complimentary product samples in every MVP shipment, first-dibs on beta-testing new products and fragrances as we release them over 2019 (and beyond), and some more perks that we can’t wait to announce to you in a few months!
To any pre-order customers reading this update that did pre-order at the $195 price point through our website over the last few months, we’ll be sending you a $76 reimbursement over the course of this upcoming week.
As always, we can’t wait to hear from all of you, and look forward to supporting you in any way we can. Now we have to get back to work on getting your Model T razors shipped out as soon as possible!

I gave up on it and requested my money back. They would have to, but they also offered me a 9S set instead of my money, so i went with that instead. Got the 9S plus 100 blades, a blade bank and a razor sheath, so, ya, I'm happy. In the future I may get the Model T, but I'm liking the 9S
