I truly appreciate all the work and effort that you put into making these videos.
Geo, because of you, I just purchased the stainless-steel ROCCA R94. I chose it over the Edwin Jagger 3one6. I started shaving with R89s but I wanted something more aggressive. You're my teacher!!!!!!
Just bought the birch version. Can't wait shave with it. Thanks for the review. Love you're videos.
Another fine shave demonstration. Thank you very much for your insight, descriptions and exhibition. ;-)
Because of you i went to wet shaving and i am soo glad i did! My next razor will be Rocca ..:)
Just placed my first order at shavenation. Keep up the great vids
The birch handle has been available over in the UK for over a year, use mine every day, fantastic shaves.

Good on you Geo! Just like the old days when you used to do those inspiring shave videos. It's the manufacturers' fault -- they just don't turn out as much new gear as they used to :) Cheers, all the best!

Coming back to safety razors after a decades long hiatus of cartridge decadence! Maybe I should go with the R89 to start..but I like the look of this Rocca. Figure I'll deal with a few nicks to start. Was going to go with the black but now you've got me thinking birch. Hmmm...nice video, geo. Subscribed and like your site, too!

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 :)

Any issues with corrosion? Do I have to dry them each time after use?
Great video! What about the birch bark handle? Is it durable? Does it soak up water? Which safety razor would you choose (the same price in my country, Poland): Mühle Rocca R95 or Mühle Purist R55SR? The latter's handle's made of Karelian masur birch wood, not bark.
This looks like a great razor. I'm very interested in purchasing one in that line. Are the Mocca R94 , R95, and R96s the same except for the handles?
Hi Geo, which one do you personally prefer: Rocca or Rex Envoy? and why in your personal opinion?
I have a shavett straight razor it's a tomb 45 would u ever do a review on it
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.
Perfect review. Thank you.

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.

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.

Hey Geo or any viewers - I bought the Muhle R89 Grande to start wet shaving, started practicing on my face after many many years of cartridge shaving - I am a head shaver as well - any recommendations on how to start on the head with a DE Razor?
@ekuzo4

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!
Will you be doing a review of the black handle Rocca Geo?

Hey geofatboy I’m looking for the closest shave possible. I’ve used cartridge razors, straight razors, DE razors and I’m now on the feather ss Japanese version. Is there anything better than the feather ss Japanese version?
@geofatboy

The Feather folding version 😀 Its a matter of personal preference. Best part of them is its always a sharp blade coming out of the injector. The choice of most professional barbers.
The same from UK. You are the best and I really enjoy your videos. 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.
Geo , I hope you are doing well . As usual the best shaving videos @ur channel. How aggressive muhle rocca compared to parker 26c open comb and smoothness?

I don't care for the scent of TOBS Sandalwood, the Sandalwood scent is too light and then there's that floral note and it's like, "What were they going for?" I much prefer Haslinger Sandalwood.
