A warm welcome to all new ROCCAsolid brotherhood members ;-)
Thanks. I was worried about the black coating as a couple of people elsewhere mentioned had issues with theirs (2020 and 2021). No idea if Mühle have stepped up their QC or I got lucky or if they were terribly unlucky, but I am overjoyed that the fit and finish on my R96 is flawless. It was a risk because I cannot send it back to them in case of issues.A warm welcome to all new ROCCAsolid brotherhood members ;-)
Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I'm delighted to be part of this great brotherhood and to spread the good news about the Rocca, even if this may be limited to use as a travel razor for the time being.A warm welcome to all new ROCCAsolid brotherhood members ;-)
I do yes and I tend to use washers with every razor I have with very few exceptions - two I can think of simply because the design won’t allow it. But with the Rocca definitely yes.Owners of the Rocca - do you use nylon washers between the handle and the base plate?

The main purpose is indeed preventing scratches and the other is to help a snug fit if necessary. Another one would be to assist in preventing water from leaking into the handle (but that’s only partially so I believe).Cool Is the washer purely to prevent scratches to the base-plate or does it have some other use? Because even without the washer, the fit is already snug and precise.
