Rockwell Razor recently released the Model T2. This is version 2 of the original Model T.

The Rockwell Model T2 is a butterfly safety razor that utilizes an easy twist-to-open (TTO) mechanism. The head of the razor opens to insert a blade. The Rockwell Model T2 is also an adjustable Safety Razor. It provides you the freedom to change the aggression of the safety razor during a shave. This is my first one piece adjustable razor, and it's a feature that I find infinitely useful. Much easier than swapping the plates on my 6S, between passes. And you don't have to take it apart to change blades like a Rex Ambassador. The Rockwell Model T2 is a single piece twist to open (tto) razor.
 

The packaging and presentation is nice. It comes the same presentation box as the Rockwell Model T and Rockwell 6S. The interior is lined with a soft felt-like material which feels very nice. It snaps open and shut magnetically

Safety Razors are a lot like the GNU+Linux world

Safety Razors and their replacement blades are opensource products. Any blade can fit any razor and razor can fit any blade. This means over the long term DE shaving will save you a lot of money. Contrasts that with cartridge razors which are proprietary products. Gillette fusion 5 cartridges will not fit a schick razor. This means over the long term cartridge shaving you will cost you a lot more money.  

As of 8/30/2021

Checking now on Walmart website, A Gillette fusion 5 cost $9.97 and 12 pack of Fusion cartridges cost $33.20. If you use one cartridge a week for one year. It comes out to over $133 just for the blades. If you were to switched to DE shaving, and find the blades that worked for you (example Personna Platinum Blades). You could get 100 blades for $15. Still using one blade per week, for just under two years. Using these examples, the 11 year cost (including $104 for a Rockwell T2 ), comes out to $194, and just cartridges for the Fusion would be $1463. As you can see, it will come out much cheaper in the long run for the one-time payment of the razor body. The extra upfront cost of a T2 razor is nothing compared to what you’re going to pay Gillette for their ridiculous blade cost.

First 2 years Double Edge Razor Cost: $15 (100 blades)
First Year Annual Cartridge Razor Cost:   $133 (48 Cartridges)

11 Years of a Double Edge Razor: $90
11 Years of a Cartridge Razor:   $1463

Note: The T2 is fully compatible with all low-cost, double-edge safety razor blades.
Note: The T2 MSRP is $130.00 USD

This is not a really a review of well this razor shaves. The one thing I have learned is that everything about shaving is subjective. You just won't know until you give it a fair trial. I bought it because I very much enjoyed the shaves from my 6S. Today’s dominant shaving method, the cartridge razor, is not at the top because it’s the best method, but simply because it makes the most money for the manufacturers.Multiple blades allow the razor to lift-and-cut (hysteresis) with every pass. When shaving longer hair, about a week’s worth of growth, a cartridge razor can easily clog.  This can increase the number of passes required and simply make for a frustrating shaving experience. This razor only will rely on a single blade.  While still susceptible to mild clogging, it is less likely. It can be unclogged very quickly.

The quality of the engineering of Rockwell Model T is excellent. The white chrome looks fantastic. Loading blades is dead easy. Not that swapping blades in a traditional two or three piece is difficult or anything, but it is a convenient feature for sure. It took a few shaves to get the adjuster settings dialed in to really get it where I exactly wanted it, but after some trial and error. You can adjust the blade angle with a dial at the top of the handle. The settings are from "1-6", "1" being the mildest and "6" the most aggressive. The customizable settings will accommodate differences in facial hair thickness, skin type, preference and experience level. Every man and woman has different hair. Some are coarse and thick, others are soft. With a DE razor, you can pick exactly the right blade for your hair and your skin type.

The Model T definitely offers the most feedback of any razor I've used. It is not 100% stainless steel, and contains some brass and pot metal components. However the razor cost only $130 USD. A Rex Envoy 100% stainless steel 3-piece double edge safety razor cost $125 USD. The Rex Ambassador Stainless Steel Adjustable  Razor cost $250 USD. 100% 316L Machined Stainless Steel razors are very expensive to make.

Conclusion
 

The Build quality is excellent. The white chrome looks fantastic. Butterfly Mechanism- Loading blades is dead easy. Not that swapping blades in a traditional two or three piece is difficult or anything, but it is a convenient feature for sure. It took a few shaves to get the adjuster settings dialed in to really get it where I exactly wanted it, but after some trial and error. The Model T definitely offers the most feedback of any razor I've used.

The butterfly opens perfectly and closes shut without any pressure at either end of the head. The grip is excellent.The knurling on the handle makes for a great grip with wet hands. The setting dial is firm but not loose at all. It's a big razor, with a noticeable heft. It is taller the the 6S. 

I think the razor feels well-built and hefty–good weight and balance. Blade gap and reveal looked good, both sides were symmetric. I doubt this razor will ever easily slip through my wet fingers. There is a fair amount of blade feel from the razor. 

I have only had the Model T for a short amount of time, and I am truly enjoying it.
