Rockwell Razors AMA, April 4th, 2016

Gareth your on fire dude, answering questions here and on reddit, I cant get enough from reading everythings that written. I have another question though and hope you will answer it.

As I said before I have the 6s and I cant get over how well is the razor presented in the tin can. I know people will laugh about this but I love how  the tin can looks outside and how well is organized inside to keep everything in order, yet sturdy, looks presenting, keeps everything safe for traveling and I can fit inside 5-6 blades if I scatter them around a bit.  

Will it be too much to ask for the same tin can and foam with the Model T, I know people like wooden boxes but to me the tin can its just so nice,neat and yet vintage like the Old Coke bottles or Altoids!!!! I think you guys are doing awesome job with the tin can and it should be standard offering for all your future Rockwell models  I really hope you do consider the 6s in OC with brass and hopefully you wont shy off on trying to make a slant in SS MIM down the road.

I really liked the tin too, the issue with the tin (and the reason we unfortunately have to move away from it) is pretty straightforward: it gets damaged in transit all the time. Even if I wrap it in a ton of bubble wrap, I've seen it get scratched and dented. And people seemed to like the tin so much that if their tin had a scratch, they'd ask for a new one. And you only need to pay to ship an empty tin to Australia a few times before you realize that it doesn't make very much business sense for the time being. We're working on making the next packaging just as awesome though, albeit a little less scratch-able.

I understand, you can always have the tin can clear coated with epoxy and will be scratch proof but no guarantees on the denting. Mine came dented and scratched, few dents and scratches dont bother me. I'm sure you guys will make the right choice with whatever you decide to go

Thanks for your time Gareth! This thread was an interesting read .
