Razorock classic TTO

[Charms434]

I'm relatively new to DE shaving but I'd like to get my hands on a TTO. I've heard the doors on the Parker don't close as well, and I may get a Fatboy. BUT on italianbarber I just came across a Razorock TTO that has gotten good reviews and looks decent. Just wondering if any of you gents have an opinion to help me out.
Thanks in advance

As always iPhones spellcheck spells Razorock as razorback. Ugh sorry

Autocorrect strikes again. Too bad. Being from Arkansas, I was starting to get excited.

While I have the utmost esteem for the Razorock brand and have been happy with every software item I have used from the line, I must say that their TTO razor falls short. My razor had brass spots under the doors where apparently the plating just never happened. I didn't care much for the shave either. The gaps were uneven and the shave was uncomfortable. My recommendation is to buy a classic Gillette, and then enjoy your shave with a fantastic RR cream or soap.As always, YMMV. Joe runs a great site, and I am a RR user often. This razor just doesn't make it for me.

I looked at these as well when I wanted a TTO DE razor. After some re-search I decided against it and picked up a nice Gillette 1959 SuperSpeed fare tip. It's an excellent beginer razor that is not aggressive. I still use it in my rotation, as some of the best shaves I've had were with it. I like that Superspeed so much that I picked up 2 more of them since.

So, I'll never be without a Gillette Superspeed

I've got several Gillette TTOs, so I haven't been interested in the Razorock TTO, but I AM interested in the Little Bastone 3 piece open comb.

Fixed that for you.

I'd hang around on B/S/T and get a vintage Gillette TTO instead. Proven entity.

The Razorock TTO is fairly aggressive if I'm not mistaken. As others have said, your best bet would be a vintage Super Speed, or give the Schick Krona a try. Better yet, why not get both?

Feeling compelled to speak up for the defense as it were...I have the Razorock tto, and like it a great deal.

Full disclosure: it was my first razor, and truth be told, I haven't been doing this a long time. My other piece of kit is the EJ89.

Comparing the two, the Razorock gives better feedback while shaving, in my opinion. Paired with a red Personna, or another relatively mild blade, and it's amazing. I would say it's fairly aggressive, at least if I understand that term correctly.

I'm pretty happy with the quality for what I paid as well.

Now I finally get to use that most thrown around acronym on these forums...YMMV.

I bought the RR TTO (my first razor). It's very aggressive if you're new to DE shaving, especially if you're not used to keeping proper technique and shave angle. I would personally buy a EJ beginner razor (EJ86 or 89).

Thanks guys

On the subject of the RR Classic TTO, mine just arrived, and I'm going to try it out tomorrow. What blades do you guys recommend? I had planned on trying out a Feather, but it sounds as if that might be too aggressive a combo. I'm only recently back to DE wet shaving, but I've been shaving with blades for well over 50 years. TIA.
