My second post!!
After a long hiatus, I'm very happy to be back to the safety razor.
Playing it safe; I picked up and am getting back on track with an R89. Nice easy shave.
I like the Muhle line and have a R96 (black handle) sitting unused in it's box until the recently ordered R95 (birchwood) arrives. At that point I'll be able to make a real time decision.
Here's where I'd appreciate some expertise/experience:
I like the weight and feel of that black handle Rocca. A lot. Fits my hand like a glove. Can't wait give it a run. And I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same way about the birchwood.
So I'm thinking of keeping both and getting the open comb head for one of them...a "down the road", more aggressive head acquisition.
Three razors. The Holy Trinity! Page/Beck/Clapton.
But:
I've also had my eye on the Alpha Outlaw (standard). And I'm sure there are some other great choices out there, as well.
So, taking what I've written into account; I'm hoping to hear from any of you about:
1) Best case: have you tried the Muhle open comb head on a Rocca handle? Thoughs...?
2) Is the Outlaw more aggressive than the Rocca? Enough so that it would be a noticeable difference?
3) Anyone going to say: "NOOOOooooo!!! Don't do it!!!"?
4) And, of course: Got an aggressive razor you love that would fill out my Trinity?
Thanks people. Cheers!
