    Hello there, i am somewhat new to DE razor shaving. I started out about 2 months ago, and bought the chrome butterfly Wilkinson razor. Tried all sorts of different blades with that Wilkinson razor as i bought a sample pack from Amazon. I found the Feather and Astra blades to be the best, but i still had a lot of irritation on my neck.... Today my Muhle Rocca arrived. It is such a smooth shave! The difference is huge! Love this razor... no nicks, no bumps, just baby smooth 😃👍

      @@ibrahimallan4197 No I do not! The Rocca was my first bit more "expensive" razor, and I used it for about 6 months until i bought another razor. First I got me a vintage Gillette Slim Twist, which was more mild than the Rocca, and it was way better. Then I got a Muhle R41, which is now my daily driver. The Rocca gave me a lot of razor burn, and weepers. Both the Gillette and the r41 do not. Of course it may be all about my technique, and also YMMV :)

    Muhle razors are of outstanding quality and the price is really good too! While Merkur razors feel more "industrial" - heavy duty and dependable, but not as nicely finished (will get the job well done, but nothing to marvel at), the Muhle feel just as dependable, they give great shaves and their fit and finish is spotless. They almost feel like a piece of jewelry.

    Thanks for the upload, nice shave. I really enjoyed my first 2 shaves with thus razor but sadly not the third.... It broke, fell into the basin and the thread completely snapped off the end. It is just welded on, not 1 piece. I will contact Muhle tomorrow, seems a bit strange it should break so easy.

    • @EricMustardman
      @EricMustardman 4 года назад

      Mühle have meanwhile changed the production process. They've been selling exclusively the fourth version of their Rocca heads, entirely NC-machine-milled, since November last year, after the first three versions, partially or entirely MIM-produced heads, received harsh criticism for providing rough shaves, being faulty or even breaking up.

      Hi there! A little too late, I suppose, but here's my opinion. The head can stand more aggressive approach than the face. Try Mühle R41 and Merkur 37C, which is a slant bar, and see what you are most comfortable with. Best regards!

    Muhle Rocca is very beautiful, but also very, very expensive, around £100 and a matching shaving brush from Muhle, more or less the same price, so around £200 for a real deluxe shaving pleasure. I will stick with my Edwin Jagger DE and Wilkinson brush and Palmolive shaving stick. It does the trick.
    But it arise an interesting question:
    That is the real best deluxe shaving set outthere? Something from Lamborgini or Rolls Royce? Only of interest.
