What Your Father Didn't Teach You About Shaving


The New Rockwell T2 Adjustable Razor

Rockwell Razors has just announced the launch of their newest adjustable razor, the Rockwell T2. Like many “evolutionary” shave products, the Rockwell T2 adjustable razor addresses the concerns some shavers had with the design and usage of the previous generation. It also shows Rockwell’s continued commitment to refining their product line. Here's the low-down.


  • Razor Weight: 103 grams (about 3.6 oz)
  • Razor Length: 95mm (3.74 inches)
  • Handle Length: 89mm (3.5 inches)
  • Available finish: White Chrome, Gunmetal Chrome, Brushed Chrome


While the Rockwell T2 adjustable razor looks similar to the original Model T, there have definitely been some changes "under the hood." Most notable is a redesign of the twist-to-open (TTO) head:


  • Raise and strengthen the T-Bar
  • Strengthen the "Clamshell"
  • Make the base "Thrust Plate" thicker


These changes were undoubtedly made to address the TTO action issues that some users reported in the original Model T (I never experienced a huge issue with it myself though). The head of the T2, like the original T, is rather large--about the size of another adjustable razor, the Merkur Futur.

Another important change to to the T2 is the adjustment "window." The original T adjustment range was biased quite high for me (I prefer "mild" razors. YMMV). I am able to dial the T2 down to noticeably milder setting--a welcome change!
