@never-stop-learning Now doing shaves with the Razorock DE-1

RazoRock DE-1 + Rapira Platinum Lux (2)
Hot shower
Proraso Green Preshave
Muhle 35K252 XL Silver Tip Synthetic brush
Proraso Green Shaving Cream
3 passes + touch ups to DFS+
No issues. No irritation.
Alum report was mild.
Witch Hazel report was mild
Finished with Proraso Blue ASB
Definitely a different experience than the Gillette US Prewar Fat Handle triangular Tech. Face feel maybe a tad harsh. Shave not as close as the tech.

Thank you for sharing your findings.

The plan is/was to do 6 shaves with the RazoRock DE-1 and then declare the winner. However, I may not need/want to go that far.

It has not been 4 hours yet and I am detecting stubble criss/cross between the chin and the lower lip.

I will bin the blade and start another for the next shave.

7.5/10 - Face feels dry post shave, first use of the Floid balm, also had to use the alum block on a couple small weepers, that may have contributed to the dryness. The Goodfellas soap was excellent, super slick.
Razor: Gillette New short comb
Blade: Astra Superior platinum (1)
Brush: 24mm RR Silvertip barrel Badger brush
Pre-Shave: Shower and face wash
Lather: The Goodfellas smile amber fougere

RazoRock DE1 + Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Hot shower
Proraso Green Preshave
RazoRock Monster Plissoft Synthetic brush
Proraso Green Shave Cream
3 passes + touch ups to DFS
Mild alum sting on the trouble spots
No Witch Hazel sting. Cotton ball was dragging and was not lily white.
The shave was not as close and the shave combo felt harsh.

In comparison to the Prewar Gillette US Fat Handle triangular Tech using the Rapira Platinum Lux blade, the same prep and lather, the tech shaves closer and with less irritation.

YMMV on the shave quality with the RazoRock DE1.
