What are your blade favorites for your Roccas?
My old whiskers need a touch more efficiency so I'm dropping a second use Kai in mine tomorrow. Wish me luck!Favourite blades in this are polsilvers/Wizamet and Gillette yellow 7 o’clock sharp edge, with the yellow being #1 for me

I have had excellent results with every blade I have tried in my Rocca. That includes Personna Israeli Reds, Bic Chrome Platinum, Gillette Platinum, Gillette Silver Blue, Gillette Nacet and Feathers. This morning's shave was with my Rocca and a new Feather blade. It was a very smooth and close shave.What are your blade favorites for your Roccas?

Which WR2 plate? I have an order in for a WR2 1.25 SB.no need for luck, the rocca is as safe and smooth as you get.. I’ve used feathers and they are pretty good also
regarding whisker type, I have very strong thick quick growth and this is my #1 favourite razor, close behind the wr2

I just shaved with it using a Kai. First bad shave ever with the Rocca. For me, the Kai just added too much blade exposure. But I love the Rocca with an Astra or Nacet.I have had good results with my Rocca R96 with all the blades I have tried with it
Good to know. I bought a five pack of Kai last year out of curiosity. Have not found a razor yet that I like it in.I just shaved with it using a Kai. First bad shave ever with the Rocca. For me, the Kai just added too much blade exposure. But I love the Rocca with an Astra or Nacet.

Blades work for me in some razors but not in others. Because they are a tiny bit wider, Kai blades will give you more blade feel.
I have not shaved with the Rocca but have used the Kai successfully in my Timeless Ti 0.68 SB, Gillette Techs, Personna BBS-0, Stahly, Hone 15a, Karve Brass SB-B and probably others I have spaced.
I would not use the Kai in my more aggressive razors like the Ikon TEK, Ikon B1 Standard, Fatip Grande MK1 and Muhle R41 Twist.
Definitely a YMMV situation.

Thanks and agreed! I like the Kai in the Gamechanger .84 SB.
Just used a Wolf for a solid week and found myself missing the handle on this razor. I really like it. It has a warm soft feel with incredible grip. Today I put a Kai blade in it and found it to be a good pairing. Fantastic, easy and comfortable shave. View attachment 1208464
