- The Rockwell T2 is GQ best razor winner award for 2022, it's that good. This razor is smooth as the rockwell 6C and it's easy to adjust on the fly. It is way more aggressive than any razor they have ever made. On setting six it's close to the Muhle R41, which is a beast. Check one out below.

I know I am way late, but I had my first shave with the T2. I've been using a 6C for a long while and loved it. But this T2 was so smooth, I did not feel the blade, which was an Astra Superior Platinum, hardly at all. I set it at 4 for my first and second pass, and the third pass on 2, then went up to around 2.5 I used the green Proraso pre shave cream and shave soap with a Simpson synthetic brush. I was in shave heaven!
Great read. Thanks for sharing
I picked up the Rockwell T2 a few months ago and let me tell you I’ve gotten the best shaves with this razor. I typically use setting 3 or 4 on about 4 days of growth with the personna blades and it’s very smooth and efficient.
It's a very good razor. I like the fact that it's adjustable and you can hold it into your beard length. Thanks for sharing my my friend.
I love the fact that it is comparable to r41. With a feather or kai blade a lot of aggressiveness can give you such a smooth finish!
😬
So, took your advice, went to the Rockwell site and ordered the 6C, used the honey app and got a coupon for $12 off and applied for paypal credit and got another $40 off the order so I got a Rockwell 6C for $8 :) Can't beat that. Love this channel
Wow. That is fantastic. Good for you.😀
I just did a full head and face shave with T2 today. I like a razor with a long handle for my head but I don't like aggressive shaving on my head. I dialed the T2 down to a one. And it really did a good job. I used a three on my face and also left it. BBS. Coming from a aluminum hensen I like the weight of this razor. You have one of the best shaving channels on TH-cam. I really appreciate the work you do. It is helping me immensely. Cheers!
Great Razor. Glad I could help
I just got my T2 in yesterday. Did my first shave on my 6C setting (plate R3) and got a good close shave. Too close actually because I had some irritation after. I tried it again today with a lower setting….2.75 and 2.0 on my neck….with an Astra blade…and it was a totally different experience. Great shave…BBS and no irritation. Boy…this razor is aggressive compared to the 6C and 6s. It’s going to take some retraining on how to shave with it. I read an article on the T2 vs. the T2SS. Apparently Rockwell realized the T2 was too aggressive….and dialed the blade gap back on the T2SS. This is a good idea because for guys like me…I’m probably going to be restricted to a range of 3.0 to 1.5. Livable…bit I wish I had more range selection. This is a beautiful razor though…great feel in the hand and smooth mechanics. Can’t wait to get it dialed in.
Thank for the update and review, Craig
P.S. This was my first T2 razor. The reason for the irritation I was feeling….was because there was a blade gap difference on both sides….causing excessive blade exposure on one side….too little on the other side. I learned about this on a B&B article with a picture showing it. I contacted Rockwell and sent them I picture showing it….and they agreed. Apparently, some early T2 razors had this problem….and it has since been corrected. They sent me a new T2…at no cost. This one was perfect…blade gaps equal on both sides and side to side. The difference in the shave was like night and day. I went WOW….this is a great razor. Absolutely BBS smooth with no irritation. It has become my favorite…over my 6S and 6C….because it’s so convent to use. The TTO and blade adjustment on the fly…are so easy to use….saving time and effort. I love Rockwell razors….and their customer service is first rate. This T2 is a great razor….recommend it highly.
I like the anticipation build when you said “Oh boy, Oh boy” Now I can hardly wait for the end of the video to hear the review.
Thanks 😀
I’ve watched a lot of your vids. This is the first shave result I’ve seen on you that’s left your neck area 99% smooth and blemish-irritation free. 5⭐️
Thanks Harry. I appreciate that
The Pearl Flexi will rock your world. And I love my 6S and T2.
Is that the knock off of the Rex ambassador?
@@OhioShaves they’re both based on the Gibbs.
Never had of Gibbs. I’ll have to look into that
Maybe one day they will reach out to me for a review
I agree with the dislike of blade overhang, i slashed my ear last week!
☠️
Nice review. I have heard from other reviewers that the T2 is more aggressive than the 6C/S. I do have a few true adjustable razors. My most expensive is the Rex Ambassador. After I discovered the Rockwell 6C and then the 6S, I realized that I could use the R4/R2 plate for everyday shaves. It only takes about 5 secs to flip the plate on my 3rd pass and pickups. So being able to adjust on the fly wasn't that important for me. What I like about the 6S over all of my other DEs is how smooth, comfortable, and irritation-free it is. When it comes to razor blades, I think that 95+% of the wet shavers can't go wrong with Nacet or Astra blades. I look forward to your review of the new Rockwell offering.
Thanks for watching Bart
I have the exact same setup- 6s with Astra green, 2 passes with plate #4 and third pass on plate #2. I don’t have much experience with other razors, but this setup is the only one so far that enables me daily shaves. (although I have the itch to buy more, hence why I’m watching this video lol)
“Boom Lather” - l had to do a double take, I thought I was watching Mark😎😜😂 loved it!
Thank you much 🙃
I was trying to decide between the T2 in Gunmetal, and the C in SS, I really wanted an SS razor, but I also really wanted a butterfly style, so wound up going with the T2, and so glad that I did. I tend to run it half way between 5 and 6 for the first pass, and then I'll drop it to around 3 for the second, and about 2 if I even need a third pass. The first couple of shaves with it worried me, I was using it on 2 to 3, and was cutting myself pretty bad, but oddly enough, I found that the more I turned it up, the better it became. I've only been using DE razors regularly for a year or so now, and maybe that's just what my skin and beard likes, but damn, I'd love to upgrade to a SS T2 now.
I have a video coming out in a couple of hours doing over the Rockwell T2 stainless steel. Make sure to watch. It's a great video.
The T2 is my favorite I just got the 6s
Two Greats
With many shaving TH-camrs reviewing the Rockwell T2, I’m pretty sure the announcement will be the release of a Stainless Steel T2 😉
Shaving with there new Razor tomorrow. I’ll let you know on the 28th😊
I’ve been considering the T2 for a good while now, have been trying to decide between it or a restored vintage Gillette fatboy, if a stainless steel version of the T2 is released I’ll be going with that over the fatboy because I love stainless steel razors
You predicted it
W😮W ! You could really hear 👂🏻 that 🪒 shave.
💯
Nice video, another bit of advice I can give about lathering is to not splay the brush too early, the way you put it on dry at the start and add water as you go is perfect for face/head lathering, but instead of splaying the brush dip the brush in water and paint water into the dry lather, keep doing that until the soap becomes shiny all over, this may take 12-13 applications of water being painted in or less depending on the soap, once the soap is shiny and glistening from the added water then splay the brush, that will generate a massive amount of thick rich lather, hope this helps you 👍 Chris from another cut above(TH-cam channel) explains this method very well too and gets great results, I actually think he has a full video on this way of lathering on his channel, have a look at his videos if you want to see it being done before you try 👍😊
👍Cool Thank you much
Great video as always, thank you...👍😊.
Looking forward to Rockwell's new product on the 28th, presented hopefully on your channel!
Greetings!
My video will post at 11am ET on the 28th. Thank you much
@@OhioShaves 👍👍🙏
Once again you have provided us with really well done objective video. I did try the Nacet blades and it is quickly becoming my favorite.
I agree with the video and sound quality comments. They put your videos in a separate class.
I too would like a razor in which there is zero blade overhang. I wish you much success.
Thank you very much! Tony
Just got this last month, use it everyday , love it! Great vid as always !
Glad you enjoy it!
I've been using the Gillette King C for about a year in a half using Astra green blades. Just ordered the Rockwell 6C in gunmetal with the stand. I was thinking about doing the Henson AL 13, but I want a little heft and I think the adjustability will be handy. Your discount code still worked, too!
Thanks for your support
Rockwell Razors Model-T2 A Keeper
Been shaving with the Model T and Rockwell blades since 2019. Honestly folks higher quality double edge blades my personal preference Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum. Spot on amazing loaded into Rockwell Razors Model-T2. It came at 6 - the most aggressive setting. I left it there and haven't needed to change it. 2 passes and I have a great shave bbs. Very well engineered. Put all my others de safety razors back in the box in favor of the Rockwell Razors “Model-T2.”
Well said. Thanks for sharing
Rockwell Razor Model T delivers!
Absolutely spectacular results. I have been using one of the original Rockwell razors for a couple of years now, and I keenly waited for the Model T. I've had it since 2019. The results have been spectacular. The ability to dial in the setting, not just at 1/2/3/4/5/6, but at any point in between has resulted in a fabulous shave. I thought it couldn't get any better, but I was proved wrong. In combination with the Rockwell blades, I am beyond delighted, and in fact glad I ordered a second to replace the original which I lost while travelling in New South Wales Australia. The engineering is solid. The tolerances are great and there is not a loose wiggle in the razor. Well done video mate. Just the amazing feedback listening to closest shave bbs.

Thank you for another amazing and detailed video! I have been hoping you were going to do a video eventually on the T2. I almost got one myself but decided to go with the Pearl Flexi first.
Thank you much. How it the Flexi working out for you?
@@OhioShaves I absolutely love it! It gives a great shave just like my Rockwell 6C but I don't have to worry about switching plates.
👍
I have a Rockwell T2 and a Rex Ambassador. Both are great but after buying the T2, it has quickly become my daily shaver. I like it set at around 2 1/4 and have gotten awesome shaves with Astra Blues. I might have to try the Nacets.
Thanks for sharing!👍
I bought 100 Nacet's and I'm brand new to safety razors, I thought they were great but it's good to have confirmation that others like them as well. It's going to take awhile to burn through them.
Right on! A long while
i was looking at both and ended up getting the razerrock lupo 95 and must say shaving my head with the tabs gone is really nice .cut my ear bad once with the parker variant.
might still get the t2 at a later stage love the degine of it
Rock on!
Amazing review, again.. 👏👏
I appreciate that 👍
Sigo varios canales de afeitado y este me parece uno de los más didácticos...
Thanks brother I really appreciate that 👍
gracias hermano te lo agradezco mucho
Excellent video. What sets your videos apart from others is that you come in tight with the camera so we can see exactly what that razor is doing. Well done on that. I must say, I like your idea of reversing the routine. I will try that myself and lather up first and let the soap do it's job while I set up the razor and blade. Great idea. For all of my shaving needs like soap and balm after shave, I have switched over to the Pacific Shaving Company products. All are 100% natural plant based. Love them, especially the nice spearmint after shave balm. It's incredibly soothing. Question. After watching you use the T2 with great results, how do you think it stacks up against the Leaf Thorn? I've been using the Thorn for awhile now and love how it gives me a nice close shave. Thanks for the video.
The tight camera clips take a whole lot of time editing. I had 10 hours in this video edit. I think it makes me stand out for others here on TH-cam. Thanks for the compliment.
Switching up my shaving routine with lathering 1st has made a huge difference in the quality of my shaves. Good for you to give it a try. Let me know what you think!
I've never heard of Pacific shaving products. Where are you buying it? I have tried others but the fall short of TOBS, Razorock and stirling soap company. Hoffman's sent me some free soap and it doesn't meet my expectations.
I'm gonna need a few more shaves with this T2 too compare with the Thorn. I can say after one shave that it's hard to beat a safety razor that's adjustable and as smooth as this one. Rockwell is notorious for being smooth on your face.
Nice razor 💈
Crazy good
Hey man, thanks for all your reviews. I recently received my T2 all-in-one bundle and super happy with the shaves, and thank you for the discount code! I was wondering how many shaves I can expect to get on each of the Rockwell blades? What has been your experience with the Rockwell blades?
Great purchase. I generally get anywhere from 2 to 4 shaves out of any blade. I would recommend getting a variety pack of blades. Just to see how good of a shave you can get out of your razor.
@@OhioShaves Awesome, thanks! I received 100 blades with the bundle so I'll see how long that lasts me. Appreciate the help, keep truckin'!
Nice. Keep us updated
I have been using the T2 and Nacet blades the last 6 months and is my favourite set up.. But for head shaves I can’t go past my leaf with Astra blades.
Great review!!
Hey thanks Ben. I cut my head using it on setting 6. Ouch🤣
Yeah I learnt my lesson pretty fast on setting 6 as well 😂
😅
12:14 Sounds just like Buttering Toast 😂 Awesome Shave Man!
Glad you noticed. That's what I'm listening for, Seems like you as well. 👍
When you started shaving your neck I was like Man that sounds like it's Aggressive like an R41. I have an R41 just to say I Have one 😂
Right 😂 I gave mine away to a Sub. Too sharp for me too
Are you able to tell the difference in the way the razor glides between 6C, 6S, and T2? Which of the 3 do you prefer?
6R”s
To get a better load of water control, I use the palm of my hand to pool the water in.
😳
Is the T2 or T2 SS better? Also is it usable daily? Is it worthy enough of being a “one and done” razor, Mr Ohio?
Yes. Yes
Compare it to a REX Ambassador XL. Like to hear your opinion.
I have not shaved with Rex yet
You need to try Razorock Lupo. Try the BBS razor or the Lupo 72 or perhaps the Lupo DC. Great razors ! I've got their entire razor range and are some of the best.
I've got the model T from Rockwell. Waited patiently on their project for almost 3 years for 3 razors. Finally they sent me one in chrome as soon as their razors got ready. I exchanged the other two for two 6S's for give aways to friends and family. The model T is fairly aggressive compare to the 6 series razors as you've found out too
For cold winter shaves try the Mitchell's wool fat. It's my fav winter soap. Many people don't like it or feel it doesn't lather. It lathers keeps the skin soft while and post shave. Post shave always is Nivea shave balm. My face thanks me rest of the day !
I've also seen your leaf razor videos. Get a razorock ECO razor. I've got all four colors and is one of my favorite and most efficient razors. Love mixing anf matching the razor color parts !
They’re on my list. They also make fantastic shaving soap.
@@OhioShaves I have all their shaving soaps they ever made. Great stuff especially the tallow Chicago and their oud scented soap. Their WTP triple milled soaps are always a great deal always on sale. All round great company and products just like Rockwell. Rockwell has the best customer service on this planet ! 👏
💯
top review👍
Thank you much. 👍
When you will be doing the "al13 mild vs medium" video can you use the 2nd generation for both of them? I heard that the 2nd generation of the mild is like the 1st generation of the medium
Henson did send the medium 2nd gen. Not sure about the difference between generation one and generation two on the mild AL-13. Working on a product launch with Rockwell razors currently. Henson videos will follow them the following week.
Hey David not sure if you take suggestions for your shaves but if you plan on doing another shavette shave, no shaving soap but baby oil.
Sounds silly but boy that works insanely good. With a safety razor too btw.
That’s crazy because shave secret sent some oil that doesn’t require any other product on top of it. So, baby oil you say. Have you heard of this product? There is only a few videos here on TH-cam. I almost threw it away.
@@OhioShaves hahaha yeah I've read it a couple of weeks ago on Reddit from someone that has some good rep on r/wicked_edge and he stopped completely using soaps and goes for oil only.
I tried it some days ago and it seriously is good. Actually baffled. Very very slick, still cushion feeling and leaves the skin smooth ofc.
Definitely worth a try at least. Not sure about the product you received. I literally just used baby oil
How many days will you go before you break out the soap and the cream? I will give it a try with 1 days growth. After that, I would be frightened to use just oil. You tell me?
@@OhioShaves yeah try it with 1-2 days worth of growth.
I will not stop using soaps or creams was just a alternative I like tbh.
@@OhioShaves I've read on the Leaf website that they released a shaving oil not long ago. Was curious, checked the European market, couldn't really find a place to purchase that oil (perhaps by now it's available over here).
Would be great if you perhaps review the shaving oil manufactured by the Leaf company!
Just started watching your reviews... great channel! Don't know if I could spring for the T2 price, but is there an appreciable difference in either the shave or the quality between the 6C and the 6S? Is the S worth twice the price of the C? Thanks!
Great. Thanks for watching and subscribing. I personally think the 6C is a better price point and razor over the 6S. The 6C is a little smoother on your face. The only upside to the 6S is that it’s made out of stainless steel. Other than this, they are identical razors. Same blade gaps on all the three different plates. You won’t be disappointed with either. I have a ton of videos referring to the 6C.
Between this razor and the Parker variant open comb which shaves better ?
T2
Which one should I get? T2 for $110 or 6S for $95
T2 is best for that $
where can I buy
where can I buy
@@cesrarflores have you tried looking on the internet?
Yes but T2 $ 150 / more and you said 110
Very nice, would you say the 6s is better for head shaves? I'm thinking of picking up a Rex Ambassador or Konsul. I'm new to head shaving and wet shaving myself
I need more shaves with the T2
@Ohio Shaves I'm torn between the 6s and t2 myself. Can you do a headshave with the t2 as well if you don't mind? I'd love to see that I'm still learning how to head shave with a DE myself i just started shaving my head a few months ago.
That razor looks insane.Looks like it can finally replace the 6c, but it's expensive
It’s a winner 🏆
@@OhioShaves This will be my next razor for sure
💯
$120 right now but you may want to wait till the 28th when I post there product launch video featuring their new razor. I would definitely wait if I were you. I haven’t shaved with it yet, but I would hate to see you spend that money when they’re introducing a new razor. This way you can make a better buying decision.
@@OhioShaves Oh, I'm not buying right away, I'll wait some time.6c is doing me great, but would love to have more razors you know.Ill be waiting to see what they will put up next
I just ordered this razor, that thing is screaming on ur face!!!
I did order some of that witch hazel u used, looks like some good stuff
Nice
You're going to love this razor. You can dial it to any beard growth you may have.
Kindly if possible do a review on Pearl Flexi Adjustable Safety Razor, always like to hear thy thoughts 🙏 😊
They haven’t sent one to me yet. I would love to try one as well. I hear great thing about it
@@OhioShaves 😁🙏
I think you shoulda used all the stuff they sent you. Just saying... I looked up the price. While this appears to be an impressive razor, it is $$$$. I will stick with what I have. Appreciate your review however.
I'm not sold on the price as well. What razor are you using?
@@OhioShaves I have 1965 Lady Gillette (courtesy if my wife) and a WeiShi longhandle (pretty close clone of hers). I confess to using dollar store 2 blade Barbasol disposables when I am in a hurry or just lazy. Enjoy your channel.
Right On 👍
@@OhioShaves I do wish I had the foresight to snag my Dad's circa 50s Gillette when he switched to electric in the 70s. H2O under the bridge.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you much
How would you compare the T2 next to your Fatboy?
New and improved design over the famous Gillette Fatboy. Rockwell shaves better
@@OhioShaves Thank you!
Welcome Ben
@@OhioShaves How you ever tried a cold water shave? It's my preferred way of shaving.
I have. Not my favorite way. I did shave in one of my videos as well. My problem is my facial hair is very thick and my neck is very sensitive. The cold water doesn’t help hard to Shave areas. My neck will have razor burn and possibly break out because of ingrown hairs do to a bad shave from not preparing my skin properly. Do you feel you get a better shave? Why are you shaving with cold water?
Hello David, how are you? Great review on the T2. I purchased one in December and am still running it through its paces. A fabulous razor, most definitely more aggressive than my 6C. Tomorrow I will be trying it on the 6 setting, tbh, been a little scared to go there, but we'll see what happens. I totally love the Rockwell products, they are some of my favourites.
I trust that things are going well, take care. 💈🪒🇨🇦
Setting six is scary sharp. I did a head shave 2 days ago on 6 and cut the hell out of the back of my head. There was a little pimple that it just sliced right off. The bleeding was crazy. Posting that video in the near future or may just a shorts video. Be careful my friend. Thanks for sharing Brad. Rockwell contacted me a couple of weeks ago and asked to partner up with them from all the various videos I have done using the 6C. It made me feel special that another company wants my insight. Just like Leaf and Henson. They just want my honest opinion with no fluff. I like it when companies stand behind their products and are not worried about you putting them up against their competition. So I’m getting noticed by manufacturers and for a small TH-cam channel like mine, that’s promising. The subscriber’s like yourself, reinforce all the time and effort I put into my videos. That makes me feel good and helps me push myself when I am editing a video for over 10 hours. So the hard work and effort is paying off. All good news here my friend
@@OhioShaves Hmmm... Maybe I won't try it on 6. 😨
With the growth on your cheeks. Then bump it down. This way you can say you tried it on six.
@@OhioShaves sounds like a good plan 😬
@@OhioShaves so I just shaved with my T2 using the 6 setting and I survived. The plan was to just go with the cheeks, but I just kept going. I'd like to chalk it up to the fact I have reasonable technique when shaving, but tbh it did not feel as aggressive as I was anticipating. The next two passes were number 4 and number 2, ending up with a predictable BBS shave. The shave was just as good as my 6C, all for twice the money. 🤣🪒💈🇨🇦
Thank you for another amazing and detailed video! I have been hoping you were going to do a video eventually on the T2. I almost got one myself but decided to go with the Pearl Flexi first.
Sure thing!
