Rocnel elite classic series 2020
Razolution blade (2)
Grooming dept pre shave
Noble otter orbit set
Rod George custom brush
Captains choice copper shaving bowl

1st use of the rocnel elite classic series. Not the heaviest of stainless Steel razors and balance is nice. No blade protrusion at the sides.

My goodness, this thing feels mild. Literally no blade feel, and the glide is just sublime. It makes the blade sing similarly to a muhle rocca. I think it would be best with sharp blades. I felt totally safe and at one with this razor. No matter what I did, it wouldn't harm me. It seemed to glide over my skin with ease. Superb blade clamping. Despite its mild feeling, I ended a 2 pass shave plus pickups pretty much bbs.

This is slightly milder in feel than the other rocnel elite medium I own. I do know this one is not going anywhere.

Noble otter nice and cooling with a lovely fresh scent.

Shave on comrades.
