My only regret is not jumping on to the R95 sooner as it really is a unique handle and the Rocca delivers shaving bliss! (y)

I have 3 Rocca's and regret not trying one earlier as it would've saved me trying other razors that shave similar but cost more.
Something about it just delivers the goods and the Birch Bark handle is super sexy and functional. :love:

I don't believe I've tested the Red&White/Minora's with the 34C as find sharper blades pair best but if its offering smooth, comfortable and efficient shaves than keep going! :eek:

You really need to have your technique down pat to succeed with this straight razor. Just the slightest lack of concentration and it will let you know.

This straight razor is outperforing all the others in my stable in all categories; efficiency, smoothness and comfort. My 1870's George Butler 1⅝ and T.R. Cadman and Sons "Bengall" straights come close but not quite up to the same standard. It will be interesting to see how my new Ralf Aust performs on Sunday.

Excuse me, I don’t shave my hairy bum fluff with my razor thank you very much, I don’t want my hairy sweaty butt to come in contact with any of my razors.
