View attachment 90383Another First Class shave with a couple of gripes.
First time use on the Rocca for me and it’s a wonderful razor.
Great feel to it, great weight & well manufactured & designed, to me it’s actually flawless.
My only gripe was self inflicted i read somewhere that the Rocca is fairly aggressive so i went with a Astra SP but for me it’s not aggressive at all,
infact i wish i had went with something with a bit more bite i.e Feather or Kai.
Nevertheless it was a top drawer shave.
My second Gripe is the soap which is another first for me & quite new however for me on a personal note the scent is no where near strong enough.
I know a lot of people prefer this and you can’t please everybody but i like punchy.
The smell however is decent but just not a lot of it.
The performance is unquestionable as you would expect from a Wickhams but what sort of input Alpha have i have no idea.
As stated above it was a first class shave so perhaps i’m being a bit picky when it comes to scent strength.
so much for my Old Spice homage week lol
when new things arrive you just have to try them.
Onwards & Upwards
