Has anyone in the UK who pre-ordered one of these received their razor yet, or been contacted re payment?

I was expecting to hear something by now...

I preordered one from Rocnel months ago, had an acknowledgement and then heard no more.

As I understand it (and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I've got it wrong), Rocnel then decided that they wouldn't handle the sales of the razor themselves, but would pass that bit of the operation over to the Turkish extrashaving.com . That's where I bought mine at the start of May.

Mate th pre order thing looks like a damp squib. I don't think Rocnel have officially scrapped the idea but it looks like they have scrapped it anyway and ya now have to buy them from their distributor. They're linked somewhere on this thread. If you really want one just buy it online instead of waiting.

Totally forgot I had registered for this - have heard zippo! Went on to the distributor web site and it costs Â£35 inc UK P&P. Can someone post a link to a review of the SE razor?

It's disappointing that they're accepting new orders before honouring the pre-orders.

Never mind, plenty more fish in the sea.

Cheers folks.

I've given up , it may well be a nice razor but the pre-orders seem to have been put well & truly at the back of the Que

Did you pay for pre-orders?
It was available on ExtraShaving, sold out and has been available again for some time

Nisse · Monday July 18, 2016

Nah, cost was only an email I think.

Holyzeus · Monday July 18, 2016

Once you convert from Turkish to Sterling

Yeah something like that - I think the pre-order would have saved about Â£5.
Rocnel, as someone commented, got overwhelmed by the response and realized that they were better at making razors and not selling them so they moved that part off to Extrashaving.

Nisse · Monday July 18, 2016

An email telling all the preorder customers the story would have been nice.

Ah, my poor memory. I thought there was a price difference between pre-order price and extrashaving price, Gotcha

Nisse · Monday July 18, 2016

If I remember correctly 25 dollars plus shipping was the asking price way back then when it all started.

Yeah, the Rocnel site and their emailing system proved to be...less than stellar.
I'm happy they realized it early on though and outsourced the selling aspect.

As opposed to other razor manufacturers cough-cough-wolfman-cough-cough
