- Edwin Jagger DE81 with ASP blade
- Isana Free Space aftershave
The soap has a very flowery scent which reminds me of the Rhapsody, only more focused on the single Jasmin blossom note. There's a slight bitterness or tartness creeping in as well, but it's not bothersome as I feel it enhances the otherwise sweet flowery impression. Maybe that's the Apricot part, as I haven't noticed anything else I'd attribute to the fruit.
I'm going to have another shave with the Rocca on Monday the 19th and I'll tell you what I really think, as I said is too early for me to decide and I'm going to keep it.So, what do you think of the Muhle Rocca so far ? !!!
Hi, I've been tempted by this soap, but put off by the price! Now you've tempted me again. Seems great soap.SOTD 170218

Well that was a top draw shave. I was going to leave my shave until tomorrow but when the Nuavia was so kindly dropped off by my favourite postie I was left with no option.
Out came the Streamline. A formidable beast that must be handled with care but teamed up with the Gem it worked through a 2 pass BBS shave with ease.
I think the soap played the biggest part of this shave. It really is gorgeous stuff. The lather was so thick and protective. It offered amazing slickness and the residue slickness is second to none in my opinion. Post shave feel is fantastic. No balm needed with this soap that is for sure.
The brush is perfect for me. Plenty of backbone it holds tons of soap and has lovely soft tips. I could not stop painting my face with it.
I really enjoyed that and enjoy your ladies and gentleman.
It really is superb stuff Roy. The price is mental and I hate the fact that much of the money must go towards the ceramic bowl (which is beautiful by the wayHi, I've been tempted by this soap, but put off by the price! Now you've tempted me again. Seems great soap.
As I type this we just had a small earthquake here in South Wales, 4.7 magnitude. Very odd and unneving feeling, albeit very brief, I thought the roof collapsed as it was shaking.
