[@soapthing]

An all stainless construction was what Rockwell were trying to do with the original model T. But at the time, the technology (or lack thereof) and the price made it untenable. It’s cool to see they finally nailed it.

[@GregTardif]

Science! It’s very cool

[@manishbhoola]

While it may sound like wise a$$ hind sight wisdom, after having used the mim process so successfully for the 6s. I wonder why they didn't go MIM earlier on the model T itself. I was part of the first 6S buyer too and recollect hwo they sent out first plates, failed, redesigned and finally after several iterations got it so perfect - irs not stepped down from its popularity position even today. The T2 perfectly compliments yhe 6s and hopefully this would now nail it in that position. As a celebration I might pull out my Kickstarter Model T in chrome for a shave ! Good luck to bunch of dedicated guys behind such an innovative company

[@jasonnyc2006]

@GregTardif a great review with amazing storytelling. I love The Rockwell 6S and am saving up for The Rockwell T2 SS.

[@nicktheneko]

I don't know if you have tried it before in the past but if you haven't you should give the Yaqi Adjustable Stainless Steel "Slant" Razor Just know that i've heard that on the Yaqi Slant the level 1 is around the equivalent of level 2 or 3 on the Rockwell, but I may be wrong

[@BetterEveryShave]

The T2 didn't do it for me but maybe the stainless version will impress. Thanks for the excellent video. The finish of the razor looks amazing and you captured it perfectly!

[@GregTardif]

Thanks Eric, if the T2 didn't work for you before I would probably say that this will be very similar.

[@DrummaBoy202]

Why is that? I can’t really tell what the difference is between the 2. Keep in mind I haven’t used either.

[@BetterEveryShave]

@@DrummaBoy202 I wasn't sure if being made of a heavier metal would improve the shave for me. There is a difference between a 6C and a 6S for example.

[@gregsullivan7408]

Can you elaborate? I'm not completely happy with my 6C, and I'm thinking of exchanging it for the T2. (there's too much "play" in the parts of the 6C IMHO, allowing the blade to be misaligned. The blade can be wiggled around too much on the cap posts, AND similarly, the base plate can also be wiggled around. I think the posts need to have a larger diameter)

[@BetterEveryShave]

@@gregsullivan7408 the T2 has a larger head that I find unwieldy and I'm also not a fan of the adjustment range. I assume I'm in the minority since it seems like most people like it. As with all things shaving, YMMV. I hope you like it if you get one.

[@darrengray1849]

The 6S is a nice razor, but changing plates in between passes is a pain. Part of me is thinking about getting this. However, the rest of me is really enjoying my Rex Konsul XL, which I purchased about 6 months ago. If I hadn’t bought that, I would definitely order the T2 stainless.

[@nate4shave]

I didn’t like Model T -2 as well as others some how I don’t find good balance on it I hope you like it Greg have a happy shaving

[@GregTardif]

Thanks, you too!

[@beyproctor7673]

Matches the cost of the Rex Ambassador but with TTO function! Sounds awesome.

[@beyproctor7673]

I went back to use my T2. I remember not having good luck with my third passes using it before. I had nicked myself several times on the third (atg) pass on my neck. Tonight I had a great first two passes with it but the third pass proved to be troublesome again. I think I figured it out though. It is SOOO smooth that on lower settings I sometimes feel like I’ve lost the angle and I want to press hard or adjust it up again. That’s what I did. I pressed too hard and eventually turned it up from between 1 and 2 to 3. Then I irritated my neck a little bit. Over all the result was fantastic over all. Next I will just hold at the lower setting for my final pass against the grain and see if that improves the comfort like I think it will. If so, the stainless version is going on my list. Oh yeah, I used Stirling’s Electric Sheep to lather with and went outside right afterwards. Not a single mosquito came near me! Awesome.

[@omeadpooladzandi3366]

How does the T2s compare to the Parker Variant? In your Safety Razor Battle Royal: Four Adjustable Safety Razors but Only One Winner! video you mentioned the T2 came in 3rd to the Parker Variant wondering if the T2s fixed some issues. In this video you address the saving under the nose issue, but I think there were some others.

[@Moodymongul]

Nice piece of kit. Based on the Gillette Fatboy I'm guessing. I'm using the Merkur futur (set on '1'). Nice shaver, but lacks grip on the handle. Unlike this one, with the nice knurled grip.

[@brianmccarthy1322]

Do you know when the platinum razor will be released?

[@Spongelebob]

Gotta say i'm underwhelmed. I've found the T2 to be too bulky especially the head both in height and width so that in a more premium metal is just meh, I'll stick to my Slim Adjustable

I have the 6S and the 6C. I find the chrome one slides so well that it almost feels like it’s a different razor. (In a good way ). I also have the T2 (non SS). I’m curious- why would the T2 give you a problem under your nose but not the T2 SS? The geometry is the same. Thanks for the great videos and info. Ted.

[@OhioChristopher]

I am ready to take the plunge and get my first adjustable! Rockwell T2S or Rex Ambassador (or Konsul)?

[@GregTardif]

I’d go T2ss over ambassador and konsul over T2ss

[@MDR-hn2yz]

I have both the Rex Ambassador and Rockwell T2, and a bunch of others I don’t use much anymore. Man it’s close between the two. But honestly I have been reaching for my T2 more and more. I really like it. Don’t get me wrong, the Ambassador is awesome. But I really like the TTO. And once I figured out my optimal setting and blade combo, I get some great shaves. Now I have to figure out if I want to drop the cash on the T2SS.

[@OhioChristopher]

I did end up ordering this as my first adjustable thanks to Greg’s referral code. Really excited for it!

[@chrislj2890]

I always have trouble under the nose, and any TTO style razor doesn't work for me, having rather bulky heads. I have to pull straight down and if I pull up against the grain I will always nick myself. Thin heads like on the old Gillette tech works well, and the PAA DOC razors are good also. I'm considering growing a beard for a change so it would be moot in that regard.

[@GregTardif]

The Gillette slim has a nice profile for under nose shaving (at least to me)

[@Leenunes007]

Is the range of adjustment about equal to the 6S but with more fine tuning in between the numbers or is it more aggressive on setting 6 in the T2S than the 6S? The way that hat looks with the Hawaiian shirt is pretty t-t-t-tight.

[@GregTardif]

Yeah. So Rockwell describes each setting as r1-r6 like the plates.

[@RR-pv4mc]

Im new to using this type of shaver, bought a Rockwell 2C to try but I am all in. REady to just go to T2, do I wait for the T2s, is there a real difference?? TY.

That’s about 50% off and a GREAT deal. So start saving up….and make your strike on Black Friday. As for the build and shave quality….it is just outstanding. I have a 6C, 6S, and T2….but this T2 SS is now my daily driver. It is just so comfortable and easy to use….with great shaves….no matter which blade I use.
