That was a nice shave. Cool Merkur Progress inspired razor. Thanks, John!
Yeah it does remind me a bit of that. Even the top cap has to be inserted a particular side like the progress. Except that this was just engineered to the highest degree 😂 . Thanks man have a good week
I've been waiting for a review for this half a stack, firearm of a razor. Leave it Cool Blade J. Thanks as always, brother.
Thanks Greg! It’s definitely a big razor but it’s also quite nice 👍🏼 . Have a great week
That does look like a heavy devil. You can tell by looking at it.
It’s a heavy one for sure! Feels different on the face for that reason. I think that’s why I like the mild setting but we’ll see how the aggressive setting fairs
That razor looks fantastic. Great content brother! Cheers! 👏👌👍🍻
That’s Peter appreciate it. Yeah it’s a looker for sure
Great shave! The razor looks good. I want that brush, tho!! 🔥🔥🔥
It’s a great looking razor for sure! Thanks . Haha yeah that’s my favorite Declaration… for now 😉
That "solid" feeling you get is what is generally called blade rigidity, and razor makers have recently started taking it more seriously as an important design factor, with it being prioritized on up-and-coming razors like the Blackland Era. Are there some razors that you felt were particularly rigid (other than the ones you talked about)?
I found the Blutt BR-1 to have the best blade rigidity that I’ve tried. Karve, Blackland blackbird, Muramasa, this Rocnel , smaller gap WR2s also come to mind . I found razors that might have too much positive exposure lack in this category as well or if not enough surface area towards the end of the blade is clamped. I am a little skeptical of the Era due to the new process at least for making a razor. Partly why the first batch will be small but let’s see how it turns out 👍🏼
Hey John Happy New Year, nice Rocnel Sailor. I enjoyed mine but I sold it. Have you ever tried the Denali adjustable razor? It's a carbon copy of the Rex Ambassador but a lot more smoother and comfortable. Very hard to find but if you get a hold of one do try it you'll be blown away on its smoothness and efficiency.
I tried so hard to find one. I contacted people I know in Italy but no success. 🥺(VLS)
@@vlstpt contact the company in Turkey
Really would love the Denali but the maker of the Denali told me it is impossible to get one. No more are being made which is sad because I am sure most of us would want one.😃. (VLS)
Really good breakdown dude. I've always found these razors interesting. How would you compare this to the Muramasa?
This definitely can get more aggressive than the Muramasa . The Muramasa has more milder feeling settings and might be a little better balanced IMO
I love my razors but I have to say Rocnel & Rex razors give me my best shaves . (VLS)
Just got back into wet shaving forgot how much less toxic this community is compared to the fragrance community that I delved into. Very nice people here
Haha Aw man . I’m in the fragrance community but not as deep. Luckily I haven’t experienced too much of that toxicity. Anyways glad to have you back!
@@johnshaves1996 oh no man don't get me wrong the people are super nice it's more on the content creators that bug me more. The repetitive top 10 videos have really turned me off.
Where does this guy get the money for that?
Would you agree with a few people who have the sailor 2021 . It is a WR2 adjustable ?
So far my WR2s are way more efficient but we’ll see how the higher settings do!
Have you ever tried a Hone Type 15? Now that is a heavy razor in brass. Mine is something like 164g with the shorter handle. Mild feeling but very efficient.
Never tried one but I’ve seen it. I would have considered the aluminum but it costed almost $200 and the Ti was $1200 . Just a tad overpriced lol but it looks like a nice shave for sure! Maybe one day I’ll try one of them
@@johnshaves1996 Didn't realise the Ti was that much! Got mine for $100 second hand. There is a SS version coming soon but not much lighter than brass.
@@stingraysinmyravioli how is the grip on yours? I noticed there’s no knurling on it. Wow that’s a good deal I would have picked that up too . I think mild feeling razor is nice on a heavy razor but I’m just biased towards lighter razors I suppose . I’d get it secondhand if it ever popped up maybe
@@johnshaves1996 Actually mine is polished but brushed for grip. When new they come with a textured handle, not smooth at all. Grip shouldn't be an issue. I got over the weight quickly and don't even think about it now.
Nice shave brother I ended up on a trade with the 2018 i think Rocnel PE? Thing tore me to pieces I tried with milder blade same results I sold on BST next day lol.
Haha wow yeah sometimes they just don’t work out . Has happened to me a few times
Have you ordered a blackbird Ti? There was another drop recently wondering if you copped!
Can neither confirm nor deny this 😉
This one seems too mild. In the quest for 'smooth' razors seem to be losing the 'edge'.
Well I used the lowest setting to start out since it’s so heavy . Will update you on the next shave
So basically its a more expensive Merkur Progress
Great video sir, great review , I was interested in this razor for a long time , but In turkey PayPal has been terminated and was wondering the seller Murat wanted me to send money via western union to him and he would ship me the item , would this be safe and ok do you know ???
I would contact Murat directly via email or Instagram he will answer
