Rockwell Razors R1 Double Edge Safety Razor for Men with 5 Razor Blades, White Chrome

Rockwell has a great product here! I have another of their razors as well.and after my recent experience, I am so glad that bought their products. When I bought the R1, I put it away for a bit. I had a few razors and I had to get around to it. Three weeks later I said time to try the R!, but upon inspection I noticed that the safety bar was severly bent on one side. I am sure it was damaged in transit. I wrote Rockwell's general mailbox and explained my situation. Next day, I got an email from Gareth, the company president, and without any hesitation I had a new R1 a few days later. No proof of purchase necessary and no need to return the defective razor. What a nice thing to do. Now that is how to build a business. The R! is an amazing product! Not aggressive. Easy to clean and to change heads. Heavy. Great handle. With a Rockwell blade I had one of my best shaves ever! But, as incredible as the R1 is, a company that will stand behind their products for life and honour it, makes it even better! Thank-you Rockwell for being errrrr..... Rockwell!

I've been wet shaving for two years and this was my second safty razor. My first was a Vander Hagen similar to this one. However I dropped that razor and ruined it. I wanted to try the R1 since it's available in gunmetal. So compared to the Vander Hagen this Rockwell R1 has a wider handle, slightly heavier weight, a bit more aggressive head and I think better build quality. The end result is a smoother shave. Combined with a sharper blade this razor really does perform well. I also have a Rockwell T2 that my wife bought me recently, but I still come back to the R1 once in a while because it's so easy and convenient to use. I might pickup a second in the future, but this one still looks brand new like the day I bought it. Definitely an excellent first razor or an affordable razor for everyday use.
