The Muhle Rocca is the only razor I use. Like you, I don't shave against the grain because it causes me skin problems. The Rocca enables me to get a clean, close shave every time. I'm going to watch the rest of your videos now. Good luck with your channel.
@@okiedokie_cool well... Rocca is still best bang (by price it should be), but R89 and FOCS are head-to-head, I do rarely use R41, but all rest are well balanced in usage. Merkur Progress was sneaky one, didn't expect I'd like it that much 😁
Well that would be sort of promotion and due to YT policy, affiliation etc. I won't name it exactly, but.... there are couple online shops from Spain (easy to google) one is related with "gifts" and "caring" other is more dedicated to "your shaving" 😎 but I guess that there are others as well, for me - those two had best prices & shipping options.
Sort of "apples vs oranges" comparisson. Personally, I like Muhle better - nicer, more elegant, better priced, finish is better, shaves bit closer (even R89 vs Progress on similar setting) but it's just my feel. Merkur - only if you want adjustable razor Muhle - any fixed option (89, 41, Rocca) is outmatching any fixed Merkur
@@Wicked-Whiskers ok thanks. I use Muhle blades, but have never tried their razors. I have a Merkur 15c and a 1966 Gillette Slim that was my grandfathers. I’ve been looking for a modern DE razor that shaves as good as the Slim. That thing just glides over the face and shaves effortlessly. Its just I have to really keep it clean as to keep corrosion off.
@@bluegrassman3040 Ohhh... that's so nice, keep that razor it's such a nice memory 😊 I liked Muhle from start, got R89, R94 and latest R41... Merkur Progress is super comfortable, but for me - just a bit less close, but enough to reach more for Muhle. Thanks for tuning in 🤗
Right now - I don't know haven't checked in a while, tbh 😊 Try 'gifts&care' they usually have holliday themed offers as well (i.e. father's day, black friday, christmass...) I guess there could be more new online shops emerged in meanwhile
As far as I know it is. I think the handle is not full rod all the way, maybe closed tube only, but man, does it make a great vibrating sound while cutting 😁

Thank you for support and kind words, hope I'll manage to keep my content positive and interesting 🤗
An excellent shave
With Rocca it always is 😊 Bit old video but it's nice it's still popular
@@Wicked-Whiskers oh yeah, just noticed how old the video is. What is your current favourite?

The good old rad ;)@@Wicked-Whiskers
@@okiedokie_cool guilty as charged 😁
Great review. I'm considering purchasing one for myself. Can you please suggest a trusted vendor that also offers free shipping?

How do Muhle razors compare to Merkur razors?
Sort of "apples vs oranges" comparisson. Personally, I like Muhle better - nicer, more elegant, better priced, finish is better, shaves bit closer (even R89 vs Progress on similar setting) but it's just my feel.
Merkur - only if you want adjustable razor
Muhle - any fixed option (89, 41, Rocca) is outmatching any fixed Merkur

R94 is 100% stailess right?
As far as I know it is. I think the handle is not full rod all the way, maybe closed tube only, but man, does it make a great vibrating sound while cutting 😁
