Rockwell Razors SETPOINT Adjustable Safety Razor Silver Aluminum

Product Overview

Rockwell Razors SETPOINT Adjustable Safety Razor in Silver Aluminum 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. The Silver Aluminum model is machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, providing the SETPOINT adjustable shaving system in a lightweight silver finish.

SETPOINT allows the blade gap to be changed with a simple turn of the dial rather than requiring interchangeable base plates. Its adjustment range runs 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. The dial can also be adjusted during the shave to accommodate different areas, hair lengths, and densities.

Quick Take

The Rockwell SETPOINT Silver Aluminum combines a solid two-piece head, precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction, standard double-edge blade compatibility, and stepless blade-gap adjustment. Turn the dial anywhere from 1 to 6 to customize the razor for the shave in front of you.

Design & Construction

SETPOINT is built around a precision CNC-machined, solid two-piece head. The Silver Aluminum model is constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in silver.

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 installed before the razor is secured again.

Adjustment System

SETPOINT uses a precision dial to continuously adjust the blade gap between Settings 1 and 6. Because the system is stepless, you are not restricted to six fixed positions and can select intermediate positions between the numbered settings.

• 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: A wider blade gap intended for longer or denser hair.

Head Geometry

The SETPOINT adjustment system changes the distance between the blade and solid safety bar. Setting 1 provides a 0.30 mm blade gap, while Setting 6 increases the gap to 1.10 mm. The dial provides continuous adjustment throughout the range.

A smaller blade gap gives shorter hair a more controlled path to the blade and provides a gentler shaving experience. Increasing the blade gap creates more room in the cutting chamber for longer or denser hair.

Blade Compatibility

Rockwell SETPOINT accepts standard double-edge safety razor blades. No proprietary cartridge or dedicated blade system is required, allowing you to use widely available DE razor blades from a variety of manufacturers.

Performance Profile

SETPOINT is designed to let the shaver adjust the blade gap according to the area being shaved and the length or density of the hair. The dial can be turned down for shorter hair or sensitive areas and increased when more room is desired for longer or denser growth.

The adjustment can also be changed during the shave. This makes it possible to use different settings for areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, upper lip, or neck without changing base plates or disassembling the razor.

A Word from the Manufacturer

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

SETPOINT lets you adjust the blade gap for the area you are shaving. Turn the dial down for shorter hair or a gentler shaving experience, or increase the setting to provide additional 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 position from 1 to 6 and begin shaving.

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 and light pressure, rinsing the razor regularly during use. Adjust the dial as desired when moving between different shaving areas.
