New Mühle stainless steel razor 'Rocca'

[Ferry-shave]

Muhle have updated their web site and the Rocca razors are back! http://www.muehle-shaving.com/en/Shop/ROCCA/

I'm not obsessed, honest.

Just went to their website -- not in stock.

I hear on the grape vine more stock could arrive in the UK next week and by end of Feb there should be enough supplies for regular orders. May be some time before the R96 Jet is available.

Mate,how does it compare to the m89,or even the Merkur 34c.
The level of aggression of these two razors is perfect,and reports are the 96 is somewhere between the 89 and 41,like saying Paris is between London and Moscow

Another question re the Rocca.
Any comparisons to the Rockwell 6S ?

Classic good marketing technique ? Create a demand for a new product, keep it difficult to get and just watch your target market fight to get one. Beats having to work at selling it.

Sounds like Razorock.....

For me, it's between the R89 and the new Fatip razors (with the redesigned top cap).

The Rockwell is an adjustable/interchangeable, thereby making it six razors with the swapping of the bottom plate. Most Rocca users have said it is comparable to the R89, but any feeling on your skin is going to be subjective.

Or, watch your target market get bored and look for another shiny thing.

This for me. I was quite excited at the thought of them, but with the non-availability I've lost interest.

You're missing out on a very good razor then, in my opinion.

Possibly, but I already have more than one very good razor.

Then you don't need it.

Exactly.

A while ago I would have bought one anyway, but if they're going to muck about trying to make them exclusive I'm going to realise that I don't need one.

I could probably get along quite happily with just my Weber, Fatip and Timeless.

Well, to be realistic; you don't need more than a Fatip really.

If I absolutely had to just have one, the Fatip would be it.
