Looks massive. How is it? Released in 2016, by Rocnel in Turkey. it was an innovative design to take ½ DE blades (sorry Fuzzy). It's all stainless steel and is fairly heavy, weighing in at about 140g. I've also got the open comb model, which I actually prefer. See this thread: theoriginalsafety2.com/thread/2198/rocnel-razor

Friday 04/05 I know many purist don't like either that is a brushless cream, or the medicinal smell, or that it tends to layer thick so you need to water it down, but having said all that it still is a good performer and even with this type of aggresive razors, a 4 pass shave and some buffing, the alum just gave a minor thingling. Razor, Schick "The Grip" Blade, Schich injector blade from China, 6th use I believe? Brush, Soap, Khiel's Close Shavers Squadron Aftershave, Maggards' alum block, Thayer's witchhazel, The Body Shop White Musk Post aftershave balm, EDT, Perry Ellis Platinum Label

Fri 5th April Vulfix 404 mixed Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus Ever Ready Natural Angle -HFT Gem S/S [ 3 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion As much as I like the looks and feel of this British equivalent of the G Bar, it does not work for me. Love the feel but no matter how I try I just cannot get a really close all round Shave, always left with areas of stubble.

1st use of the injecto-matic. It felt pretty similar to my Schick E3, with lots of blade feel, which I definitely like, although a bit different angle is needed to get efficient. It is not necessarily an overdecorated razor, many say it resembles the grills of vintage muscle cars. It was a great shave, definitely gets into the rotation. How do you like that razor folks? Oh, and Randy, thx a lot again! Almost forgot to mention, the razor was PIF'ed to me from that fine gentlemen, who also recommended this forum. I promised I will pay it forward, and this afternoon will be the occasion. We will have the next hungarian wetshavers' meetup today starting in a couple of hours, and I take some giveaway items there. I have a ridiculously overpriced golddachs silvertip badger brush that is just collecting dust, for years and I have no chance selling it since the cheap Yaqis showed up, but it will have a nice place in some beginner's den who has no badgers yet.
