Consider that I just read on another board that the REX Ambassador folks are working to improve their manufacturing in order to keep quality high and lower the cost. They are one day shooting for a $200 price point. So for $200, which will you buy?

REX has done an excellent job to listen to users and make design updates. Both REX and Rockwell are excellent companies and high on customer satisfaction.
A $200 stainless adjustable razor would be a best seller. Rockwell is not stainless but TTO. Guessing both aimed at the same market or shaver. In the end, guessing the best performing razor will have the most sales.

Both good points. Tough call as there are pro's and con's on both sides. But, I think SS would eventually win out. Hell of a conversation and a hotly contested debate starter for wet shavers......

I have the REX and I can attest to its efficiency and smoothness. The T has not yet been reviewed by users, save for one review on Reddit, so we cannot really compare the two. The obvious differences are what has already been said. The REX is an all SS while the T has some Zamak in the mechanism. Another thing going for the REX is the slim head which is easy around the nose area. The T head looks bulkier.

And let's not forget the other TTO that is all brass except for the adjustment plate - the Parthenon. That appears to be going for $50 once in full production and possibly less once it gets on Aliexpress.

Could be. From what I can gather from forums and info “floating” on the net, Rockwell looks to fulfill all orders from the KS Campaign first. Then I think it will be the secondary partner, Indiegogo. From there I believe then they will take care of orders from their website. Like I said, it’s just the rumor mill and from info I’ve been able to gather on various forums and social media sites. Their next update in May I think they will mention the progression of order fulfillment more clearly. We’ll see.......
Oh, I will say that I received an email today from Rockwell thanking me for purchasing the Model T and sent me a coupon code for purchasing products on their website. The individual, goes by the name of Grigori and he also stated that my order was in the process of being fulfilled. What process of being fulfilled means, I have no F*****g idea.....
