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 😃👍

[@geofatboy]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for sharing!

[@ibrahimallan4197]

Do you recommend rocca I used merkur when I had a lot of irritation

[@stromticians7234]

@@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.

[@Cheekeemunkey]

Just bought the birch version. Can't wait shave with it. Thanks for the review. Love you're videos.

[@Nights_eye_puppets]

Great review Geo. Both beautiful razors and TOBS is one of my favs. Excellent all around shave.

Thanks Frank!

[@goalkeeper484]

Could it be , that the angle is a little bit different to other razors? It is not the "standard" 30° angle. I still have not found it after several shavings. Any hints? Thanks in advance.

[@geofatboy]

Moist beard, sharp blade, proper angle

[@Miroku-Tono]

Gotta get one now. R41 is a little much yet my favorite. Now, when you get some in stock, please let me know. Awesome as always. Hoo-YAH MOTIVATOR!

[@j_stone714]

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!

[@samchops6875]

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?

[@paultully1590]

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.

[@azcactus2008]

Am I mistaken or does the R 95 razor head look a lot like the R 89?

[@geofatboy]

Muhle and Edwin Jagger are in bed together so to speak...

[@zandvoort8616]

I’ve just discovered Muhle after three years of wet shaving!

[@BlackCat-87]

The Muhle R41's the only razor I'll ever need, but great video and review nonetheless 😎

[@geofatboy]

You must have some heavy beard growth, do you use the R41 every day, or every few days?

[@BlackCat-87]

geofatboy every day mate its the only razor that I can get consistently good shaves from 😂

[@George-um2vc]

@@BlackCat-87 I know your comment is old but hopefully you see this, do you recommend the R41 for head shaving? my hair is very tough and thick on my head and am experiencing tugging and pulling with my Merkur Futur on the highest setting, have you tried the Futur? it's considered very aggressive even on setting 1.

[@danilobernaschina1842]

Hi Geo, which one do you personally prefer: Rocca or Rex Envoy? and why in your personal opinion?

[@lothariobazaroff3333]

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.

[@jarrydpitt6311]

Another excellent shave video Geo all the best Jarryd.💈💈💈💈👍

[@geofatboy]

Thank you Jarryd!

[@bobprince1539]

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!

[@ktheodor3968]

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!

[@taguardian]

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]

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.

[@rajdebdhar]

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.

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.
