The Rockwell adjustable? Or the 6S or whatever it's called?

The adjustable Model T should only be available for pre-order. Kickstarter backers are getting them in March, and I assume everyone else will also get them around that time.

I prefer the slim to the Fatboy, for me it sits in the hand better, but I prefer the look of the black beauty,

They are all great razors though, I have all three, I have a slim and an Aristocrat slim
 
So, got the new rockwell S6 razor.....before i even attempt to use it, i feel like i want to send it back.
It just feels odd to me [emoji57]
Im just not sure about the matt look and all the weight in the handle. I just dont feel any weight in the head what so ever.
It just feels like a big hefty handle.
Really not sure about this razor......[emoji854]

I have a slim and a 6s. I have not had either for very long so I am still trying out different settings on both. but on first impressions the Rockwell is a more comfortable shave and is a very forgiving razor. The only bad thing I can say about the Rockwell is its looks. It is not pretty or elegant razor to look at but it does work well

just give it a try. It may take a week or so to try out the different setting but you will soon get used to the feel of the razor it is very easy to use. but please do let us know how you get on with it

Pity. The more I use mine the more I like it but I'm sure the ATT will be great. What model are you going for

Bad news on the T. It's delayed until July 2017. It's also been changed so that the head assembly will not now be made of brass, but will be cast zinc-chromed (aka chromed zamak). The delay I can (have to) live with, but what I thought would be a durable razor, at least on a par with Gillette adjustables in quality materials, won't be this. No doubt it will work well, and Gareth at Rockwell has explained the very good reasons for the change, but it is nonetheless disappointing.
I had been holding off buying the Rocnel/B&R adjustable pending the March release of the Model T, but I will now rethink this. I have anyway bought the T, as a Kickstarter backer.

Yeah, I saw that. Makes me wonder if I should pull out of the backing party.
