I predict the latter will be too aggressive for you, but we shall see.
Don't listen to himI was seriously thinking about getting the new RR Lupo SS, but last night I mentioned as such to a wet shaving buddy who calmly replied "Why, you already get perfect shaves now?"
Sound advice.
The Rocca is a class act !I used it last night and found it ... oddly ... VERY mild.

@jphelan81 , they're on AliExpress for a quid if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for delivery...www.theshavingroom.co.uk
It the next razor purchase that'll have you sneering at me. I'll reveal when it arrives. Meanwhile, the Rocca is just lovely.

Today I dug out an old new Super-Max Platinum blade and what a shi&^y shave!! I even switched the blade mid-shave to another razor in hope of salvaging something. Even that "Hail Mary" fell flat!!Just simply not up to snuff.
If it's the Blue Diamond Platinum, I'll disown you!Today I dug out an old new Super-Max Platinum blade and what a shi&^y shave!! I even switched the blade mid-shave to another razor in hope of salvaging something. Even that "Hail Mary" fell flat!!Just simply not up to snuff.
Personally, I hated the SuperMax Blue Diamond Platinum and rated it very lowly, just a tick above Muhle/Merkur/Personna. If you tried the one in the picture, I find that interesting as I did enjoy the regular Vidyut/SuperMax Stainless (Economy) and found it very much akin to the Gillette London Bridge (if not a touch better) that I'd used just prior. The SuperMax+ Platinum Plus is not one that I've tried but there are reports above about it being smooth enough and keen enough, so guess 6/10 or 7/10?
Now, the SuperMax Super Platinum which is of the same sort of design as the current green pack Stainless with three stripes at the left hand side (although themselves discontinued ... Jeez! Who can fathom the ways of SuperMax) is a blade that both myself and @donnie_arko are running through at the moment. He's one shave ahead of me and it seems he enjoyed the shave but hated the regrowth off the first shave and happily mowed it off with the second - we've yet to hear how he's getting on today. My first shave went very well and I found it particularly smooth and quite efficient with regrowth today being perfectly good, consistent and not at all irritable.
As per other folks' experience, I'm finding the SuperMax Super Platinum to be quite akin to the old SuperMax Blue Diamond Titanium, a blade I very much like ... but have not used for a few years and really need to try again, just to check.
Paul, I have a few blades I said I would send out to you, I completely forgot about the SuperMax+ Platinum Plus, I think I might have a few left - I will find them and include them.
Cool, cool! Smashing razor, the Katana ... right?
Second run with the SuperMax Super Platinum for me tonight and I'm busting out the Gillette Tech to see what I really think of the blade. Soap? It'll be the Arko shaving stick. I'll try it in a slant tomorrow with Derby shaving stick.
If it's the Blue Diamond Platinum, I'll disown you!
