What material is the head made from on the Muhle Rocca razor? The muehleusa web site says the handle is stainless steel but it doesn’t say anything about the head.
Thanks, Tanuki. I was thinking it was steel too. It just struck me as odd that the website specifically mentions the handle material but not the head.Sintered stainless steel, from what I’ve read.
SCh5,The cap is made of injection molded 316L stainless steel .
The base plate is machined 316L stainless steel .
The handle is press-fit 316L stainless steel inserts ,
onto DLC brass middle section.

Shavemd,I just got my Jet Rocca yesterday. It seems lighter than my solid SS razors so I wonder if part of the handle is hollow. With my first shave last night I started with the Muhle blade that came with it but switched out to a Polsilver after just a few passes because the Muhle blade was tugging. Pol smoothed it out a lot. Playing with the angle also helped. 2 pass BBS but I took my time.
I’m not sure if you are meaning to be funny or not but your post gave me a chuckle. The razor seems to work for some but I am still reserving my final judgment.@ike
From all the research I did it's just a terrible razor, bad design even worse manufacturing quality. In V3 it's still terrible. I know you're tempted but don't persist shaving with it, it's not worth the aggravation. Just look at it since it's the only flawless feature of the Rocca.

In any case, if I don’t use the Rocca head it makes for a very nice razor when the Rocca handle is paired with an R89 head.
You guys all have me considering the titanium Timeless ...
Whats to consider? My Ti95SB is one of the 2 best razors I've ever used to date!! The other is the SS95DC that I just purchased in January...You guys all have me considering the titanium Timeless ...
I do have a spare R89 head already. I may end up just selling the Rocca to someone who can appreciate its shave better than I.
Ok, the Rocca head. One issue I’ve seen others have is poor blade alignment but mine is very good in this aspect. It shaves the flat areas just fine it’s just when I get around the jawline and chin that I run into problems. I’m thinking that may be more my technique rather than the razor head?

FYI: I just ordered the Timeless Titanium .68 razor. If I don't like it I can return it in 30 days I guess.Could be. Yet, some had no blade alignment issues and got much better shaves after replacing the head. Some had blade alignment issues and the new replacement heads still had them but shaved smoother. Some have everything perfect but still can't shave on the chin or ATG at all.
