Rockwell Razors Setpoint Adjustable Safety Razor Black Aluminum

Product Overview

Rockwell Razors SETPOINT Adjustable Safety Razor in Black Aluminum is a precision CNC-machined, two-piece double-edge safety razor featuring a stepless adjustment dial that lets you fine-tune the blade gap between settings 1 and 6. The Black Aluminum model is machined from solid 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for a lighter feel in the hand while retaining the solid-head design of the SETPOINT platform.

Instead of changing or flipping base plates, SETPOINT allows the blade gap to be adjusted by turning the dial. This makes it possible to move between gentler settings for shorter hair or sensitive areas and wider blade gaps for longer or denser growth, including adjustments made during the shave.

Quick Take

SETPOINT combines Rockwell's adjustable shaving philosophy with a continuous dial, solid two-piece head, and lightweight CNC-machined aluminum construction. The Black Aluminum version uses standard double-edge razor blades and provides stepless adjustment throughout its 1 to 6 range.

Design & Construction

The SETPOINT is CNC-machined from solid material and uses a two-piece head with a removable top cap. This Black Aluminum version is constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in black.

Blade changes are handled by twisting the knob at the bottom of the handle to release the top cap. Once a standard double-edge blade is positioned on the cap, the cap and blade are returned to the razor and secured using the bottom knob.

Adjustment System

SETPOINT uses a precision adjustment dial rather than interchangeable base plates. The dial provides stepless adjustment between settings 1 and 6, allowing the blade gap to be fine-tuned without disassembling the razor or changing plates.

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

Because adjustment is continuous, the dial can also be positioned between the numbered settings rather than limiting the razor to six fixed blade gaps.

Head Geometry

The solid two-piece head incorporates SETPOINT's adjustable blade-gap system. Turning the adjustment dial changes the amount of space available within the cutting area. A smaller opening provides shorter hair with a more controlled path to the blade, while increasing the setting creates additional room for longer or denser hair.

Blade Compatibility

Rockwell SETPOINT uses standard double-edge safety razor blades. It does not require proprietary blade cartridges or a dedicated blade format, allowing you to choose from widely available DE razor blades.

Performance Profile

The adjustable design allows SETPOINT to be configured according to hair length, density, skin sensitivity, and the area being shaved. A lower setting can be selected for a gentler pass or sensitive areas, while the dial can be increased when additional blade gap is preferred for longer or denser growth.

Unlike Rockwell models that use reversible base plates, SETPOINT allows these adjustments to be made directly with the dial without removing the blade or changing components.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Rockwell designed SETPOINT around the idea that your face is not a single shaving surface. Different areas can have different hair lengths, densities, and levels of skin sensitivity, while beard growth also changes depending on the amount of time since the previous shave.

SETPOINT allows the blade gap to be adjusted for the shave in front of you. Turn the dial down for a gentler setting or increase it to create more room for longer or denser hair.

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 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 the razor is securely locked.
7. Select your desired dial setting between 1 and 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 shaving soap or shaving cream. Select an appropriate SETPOINT dial position and shave using short, gentle strokes with light pressure. Rinse the razor regularly during the shave. Adjust the dial as desired for different areas of the face or different stages of the shave.

Pro Tip

Use the SETPOINT dial to match different areas of your shave rather than assuming one setting has to work everywhere. Start conservatively, then make small adjustments as you learn which blade gaps work best for your beard, skin, razor blade, and shaving technique.
