Fantastic razor..nice and light, brilliantly adjustable giving the perfect shave. Highly recommended, now my favourite razor.
I have to admit, I never thought I'd get this excited about something whose primary job is to hold a razor. After all, it's a razor stand, not a new sports car or a winning lottery ticket. But here we are!
The Rockwell SETPOINT™ Aluminum Razor Stand is one of those products that makes you wonder why you didn't get one sooner. Right out of the gate, the quality is obvious. This thing is extremely well made, has a solid feel to it, and has the kind of fit and finish that makes you appreciate a company that actually puts some thought into what it's making.
The aluminum construction gives it a nice premium feel without looking overly flashy or trying too hard to get attention. It's clean, attractive, and looks right at home sitting on the bathroom counter. In other words, it looks like it belongs there instead of looking like something you found in the bottom of a junk drawer.
But let's get to the important part: the fit.
The razor fits this stand exceptionally well. No awkward balancing act, no wondering whether it's going to tip over, and no need to perform a complicated engineering experiment every time you put your razor away. It holds the razor exactly as it should. You place it in the stand, and that's pretty much the end of the story. Simple, secure, and effective. Imagine that!
I especially appreciate that the stand doesn't feel like an afterthought. Sometimes accessories seem to be designed simply because a manufacturer figured they could sell one more item. This, however, feels like a proper companion to the razor. The attention to detail and overall construction make it feel like a quality piece of shaving equipment rather than just a place to park your razor between shaves.
Is it going to change your life? Probably not. Will it make your morning shaving routine a little more organized and give your razor a proper place to call home? Absolutely!
And let's be honest, if we're going to spend money on quality shaving equipment, we might as well give that equipment somewhere decent to live. Your razor shouldn't have to spend its evenings lying on the bathroom counter like it just got kicked out of a five-star hotel.
The Rockwell SETPOINT™ Aluminum Razor Stand does exactly what it's supposed to do, and it does it very well. It's well constructed, has a premium appearance, and, most importantly, fits the razor beautifully.
Final Verdict:
This is one of those little accessories that gets the details right. Excellent build quality, great fit, attractive design, and no unnecessary nonsense. It may only be a razor stand, but it's a darn good one.
If you're a shaving enthusiast who appreciates quality equipment, attention to detail, and having your bathroom counter look like an organized shaving station rather than a crime scene involving grooming products, this stand is absolutely worth considering.
Five stars from me! My razor is happy, my bathroom counter is happy, and frankly, I think I've given that razor a better retirement home than some people have for themselves. Well done, Rockwell!
This razor is simply amazing!… its the perfect positioning between the 6s and T2 ss, Rockwell has created a product that possesses the ability to adjust its aggressiveness and appears to have introduced a razor with a slightly different blade angle (at least it feels like it to me) from both the 6s and T2 for an even more comfortable shave!! Then there’s the fit and finish, if you know Rockwell, their razors exemplify the highest quality, this razor is on the next level… its closest competitor costs hundreds of dollars more!!! You have to try this razor to understand how special it is!!!
I’ve been on a bit of a journey with shaving, and I reckon I got a bit lost in all the options for razors and blades. I was after something perfect for a daily shave—gentle on my sensitive neck but tough enough for my coarse whiskers. That’s the rabbit hole I dove into!
My third purchase was a Rockwell 6C from an Aussie retailer. I wanted to figure out what my skin needed and which plate worked best. On my first go, I started on plate one and ended up on plate six in one pass. I usually do two passes, but I thought I’d try a three-pass shave. I stuck with plate six for the last two passes and got my first proper BBS shave. After that, I used plate six all the time, but my neck started getting pretty irritated. I gave it a five-day break to settle down and found that plate four for the first pass and plate two for the last was spot on for my face. Still, swapping plates mid-shave is a bit of a faff.
My sixth razor was the SETPOINT (SP), and Rockwell’s done a cracker with this one! I’d watched heaps of reviews from YouTube shaving legends who’d been sent the SP to review by Rockwell, so I knew to set it one notch lower than usual. I started on four, but it felt a bit sharp on the first stroke, so I dropped to three and finished on one. It gave me a BBS shave straight away and has kept it up ever since—the first razor to do that for me.
Everyone raves about the Henson’s 30-degree angle, but with the SP, whatever angle it lands on my face feels just right. It’s a really gentle process.
Coming from an engineering background, I reckon the thread on the top cap is pretty minimal. I haven’t seen the CAD drawings for the razor, but surely it could be extended by at least 2 mm without hitting the bottom of the bore? A longer thread would definitely help it last longer – minimum is minimum, after all.
I was having a tough time finding a neck shave that didn’t irritate me, so I followed Sharpologist’s advice and grabbed the aluminium SP instead of the stainless steel one (link below). It’s paid off big time – I get a smooth, irritation-free shave every time now. I’d highly recommend this razor; it’s easily the best buy in my DE safety razor journey by far.

J’ai utilisé ce rasoir pour la premier fois et ça été une excellente expérience de rasage . Doux et agréable pour moi qui suis novice. J’ai commencé avec le Numéro 1 et je compte avancer progressivement jusqu’au numéro 4 car je n’ai pas de poils dur et j’ai un une peau de visage doux et très sensible au brûlure et aux boutons après rasage . Merci pour le rasoir je peux ainsi pour un même rasoir avoir différentes possibilités de rasage . Formidable . Très lourd dans la main il glisse tout seul sur le visage et oui il est facile à utiliser même pour les novices. L’angle de coupe se trouve facilement. Parfait pour un premier rasage . Je vais l’essayer avec une lame autre que celui de Rockwell et je vous ferai un retour . À bientôt. Merci
Amazing razor!!! The smoothest razor I’ve ever used. Offers tremendous adjustability with the included plates. Love it
Well designed and built. Love the ability to adjust on the fly but razor clamps on well to the blade. My new favorite!
The razors and shave has been fantastic and smooth for me and my face. I’ve been using the 5/6 plate with it, with the personna gem blades and it’s been a great combo.
This razor has been great. I had never had an adjustable razor before, and as someone who routinely goes 1-2 weeks between shaves, I love being able to start at setting 6 for my neck and cheeks, and dial back to settings 1 and 2 for around the lips. Overall this makes shaving go much quicker, because I’m not having to pause as often to rinse away all the accumulated hair in the razor. On my old non-adjustable, this was a laborious and slow process due to having to rinse so much.
I was initially worried that it would shave too aggressively at the higher dial settings. However, by the second use, I had no issue shaving at setting 6 with essentially the same technique as my old non-adjustable.
Lastly, I like the adjustment dial being positioned at the top of the handle, right underneath the clutch. I don’t feel like my palm will accidentally adjust the dial while shaving, the way I might if it was on the other end.
Best beginner razor. Disposal razor my biggest mistake.
I’m happy with the blades works well with the Setpoint razor
I’m really impressed with this razor. I’m glad I decided to add it to my collection.
Total beginner to using DE razors & have sensitive skin. This razor is awesome! Really like the multiple settings & how it allowed me to find a comfortable level of aggressiveness. It has a nice weight to it, especially helpful since I have a slight tremor. Overall, really feels quality.
As a lifelong wet shaver, I was firmly in the cartridge camp for decades. A few years ago, I decided to give safety razors a try. I never had a problem with the quality of my cartridge shaves, but I liked the idea of not mortgaging the house for blades. I bought one safety razor, then another, then another, and over the next year I amassed seven. I didn’t want to become a collector or take up a new hobby; I just wanted a very close shave with no irritation, no nicks, and no drama. I tried single-edge and double-edge, adjustable and fixed, single-blade and multi-blade. I tried blades including Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide, Gillette Nacet Stainless, Feather, Leaf and Vikings Blade (which came with one of the razors). I was still chasing the shave my cartridges gave me.
Then I ordered the SETPOINT in stainless steel (I like some heft). Wow! This is the one. I’ve had it for two weeks and shave with it most days, and I get extremely close shaves with no nicks, using settings 1–2.
I have been trialling the Setpoint Razor for the last three weeks using different settings and blades. It is a well engineered razor and gives a decent shave but I have been getting slight razor burn on my neck. I much prefer my stainless steel 6s which has more "heft" and shaves more smoothly than the aluminium Setpoint.
Over the last decade I have owned old style adjustable gillettes, Rex ambassador, razor, and many others. Used this set point twice since I received it in the mail and I have to say this is the best one to date. The shaving is very smooth and precise. The quality is top notch. This razor will Outlast me. I even had the Rockwell 6s when it first came out and I would say this one is even better. Do not hesitate to purchase.
The razor is amazing. 10/10. The shaving cream was surprisingly good I was not expecting that. The razor stand is also nice. The brush is adequate but not great. I am not a fan of the blades at all they feel too thick. If I had to do it again I’d buy the razor alone rather than this whole kit.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the Rockwell Set Point razor. The razor itself performs exceptionally well and delivers a phenomenal shave. It's comfortable, effective, and does exactly what you'd want a quality razor to do.
However, I do have one complaint about the handle. The tightening mechanism is a little quirky, and you have to be careful not to overtighten it. If you do, loosening it can produce a horrible stripping or clicking sound that doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Other than that, I think this is a great razor. The shaving performance is outstanding, but I do think the handle mechanism could use some refinement.
Bottom line: Excellent shaving performance, but the handle's tightening mechanism leaves a little to be desired.
Bought a bunch of razor handles for blade gap variety like a fool. Picked this lil bro up and it’s a one stop shop for daily shaving but able to handle letting yourself go a few days with super stubble. Only issue I ever had was my own forgetfulness in reducing the blade gap when I hit certain part of my mug. Like today I shaved my scrubby face with the 5 and forgot to drop it down when going for the chin area. My fault. Lesson learned. Otherwise this thing is not a punisher. Super easy as to learn the angle as a newbie and I enjoy my shaving experience now. I might go as far as to say I have fun shaving because of this dude. Setpoint set me straight. Big fan and I don’t use my gang of other razors now unless I travel because I’m cool losing those but I don’t want to go through the emotions of losing this one. Aww. I love my Setpoint. ‘Merica!
