I still find this razor not too smooth and with a feather blade it was awful. Skin rash cuts. Maybe the angle differs from other razors. Any thoughts of those who find it a smooth shaver?

Maybe those who love the Rocca don't have your face.Maybe those who love the Rocca can tell how to use it. One reviewer said about the angle...put it to your face and away you go!.....
I'll have to try mine with a GSB. Fortunately got a few floating around! It's also good with a Nacet and I quite enjoyed using a Rapira stainless in my last outing with it!I love the Rocca - I was lucky to get my hands on a R96 in January 2017 and I also got a R95 in December 2017.
The Rocca is possibly the best DE razor I have used, notably when paired with a Gillette Silver Blue. I appreciate that YMMV. I find it easy to find and maintain a good shave angle. Good balance with razor, also.
I have not compared in detail v1 and v2, but my initial impression is the design and build look the same. I agree with @Eeyore68 if it Rocca does not work for you, it may be worth selling on and trying something different. The only reason that I am not making more use of the Rocca at the moment, is that I am loving my SE shaves, unfortunately to the exclusion of DE.
I hope that you can get it working, as I feel this is going to become, if not already, a classic razor.
Hi, yes, I suddenly find Rocca gives wonderful shaves, smooth and very close and my skin has never felt better. No cuts at all now. Even a feather blade is comfortable! Maybe It needs the longer lather I have given the soap. However, I did notice that the pins holding the blade are short so maybe the blades were previously not seated correctly.My face still feels soft after 8 hours and no balm needed. Using Meißner Morrocan just now.I love the Rocca - I was lucky to get my hands on a R96 in January 2017 and I also got a R95 in December 2017.
