Rockwell Razors SETPOINT Adjustable Safety Razor 316L Marine-Grade Stainless Steel

Product Overview

Rockwell Razors SETPOINT Adjustable Safety Razor in 316L Marine-Grade Stainless Steel is a precision CNC-machined, two-piece double-edge safety razor with a stepless adjustment dial that lets you fine-tune the blade gap from Setting 1 through Setting 6. This premium SETPOINT model is constructed from 316L marine-grade stainless steel with a matte stainless steel finish.

Instead of changing or flipping base plates, SETPOINT allows the blade gap to be adjusted with a simple turn of the dial. The adjustment range extends from a 0.30 mm blade gap at Setting 1 to a 1.10 mm blade gap at Setting 6, with continuous adjustment between the numbered settings. This allows the razor to be adapted to different areas, hair lengths, densities, and stages of the shave.

Quick Take

The Rockwell SETPOINT 316L Stainless Steel combines stepless dial adjustment with a solid two-piece head and precision CNC-machined stainless steel construction. Its continuously adjustable 0.30 mm to 1.10 mm blade gap and compatibility with standard double-edge blades provide a highly customizable traditional shaving platform.

Design & Construction

SETPOINT is built around a precision CNC-machined, solid two-piece head. This version is constructed from 316L marine-grade stainless steel and features a matte stainless steel finish.

The removable top cap provides straightforward blade loading. Turning the knob at the bottom of the handle releases the cap, allowing a standard double-edge safety razor blade to be positioned on the top cap before the razor is reassembled and secured.

Adjustment System

SETPOINT uses a precision adjustment dial to continuously change the blade gap between Settings 1 and 6. Unlike an adjustable razor with a limited number of fixed positions, SETPOINT is stepless, allowing the dial to be positioned between the numbered reference settings for additional fine-tuning.

• Settings 1 to 2: Rockwell recommends these as a starting point for sensitive areas or shorter hair.
• Settings 3 to 4: Recommended as a starting point for a regular everyday shave.
• Settings 5 to 6: Provide a wider blade gap for longer or denser hair.

Head Geometry

The SETPOINT adjustment system changes the blade gap from 0.30 mm at Setting 1 to 1.10 mm at Setting 6, with continuous adjustment throughout the range.

Turning the dial toward a smaller blade gap gives shorter hair a more controlled path to the blade and provides a gentler shaving experience. Increasing the setting creates more room within the cutting chamber, allowing longer or denser hair to enter more easily and meet the blade.

Blade Compatibility

Rockwell SETPOINT accepts standard double-edge safety razor blades. No proprietary cartridges or dedicated replacement blades are required, allowing the razor to be used with widely available DE blades from a variety of manufacturers.

Performance Profile

SETPOINT is designed to let you adjust the blade gap according to the shave in front of you. Different settings can be selected according to hair length, density, shaving area, and personal sensitivity.

The adjustment dial can also be changed during the shave. This makes it possible to use one setting for the cheeks or jawline and another for areas such as the upper lip, chin, or neck without removing the blade, swapping base plates, or disassembling the razor.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Rockwell developed SETPOINT around the idea that your face is not the same everywhere and your stubble is not the same every day. Different areas can have different hair densities and levels of skin sensitivity, while the length of your facial hair changes depending on the amount of time since your previous shave.

SETPOINT allows you to adjust the blade gap for the area being shaved and the amount of growth you have. Turn the dial down for shorter hair and a gentler shaving experience, or increase the blade gap to create more room for longer or denser growth.

How to Load a Blade

1. Twist the knob at the bottom of the handle to release the top cap.
2. Lift the top cap from the razor.
3. Carefully place a standard double-edge safety razor blade onto the top cap.
4. Return the cap and blade to the razor.
5. Press gently on the cap.
6. Turn the bottom knob until it locks securely.
7. Select your desired dial position anywhere from 1 to 6 and begin shaving.

Always handle double-edge razor blades carefully and store used blades in an appropriate blade safe.

Directions for Use

Prepare the beard with warm water and apply your preferred shaving soap or shaving cream. Start at a lower SETPOINT position and increase the setting gradually until you find a comfortable shave. Use short strokes with light pressure and rinse the razor regularly during use. Adjust the dial as desired when moving between different shaving areas or passes.
