Muhle Rocca R96 Stainless Steel DE Razor (Black)

Product Review (submitted on 3 April 2019):

This razor is superb! Build quality is just perfect, feels nice in the hand, not too heavy, not too light, just about right. It is and aggressive razor, I'd say it's closer to the R41 than to the R89. It only needs a shallow angle to use, but its super easy to feel where it bites. Been through a few different blades, most was fine in it, but my favourite is the Feather blades, altho I dont like Feather blades with other razors(feels like ripping my face off, literally), but with the Rocca it feels just right.
I get tons of feedback from it, both audible and feeling, during the shave, so it makes the routine very easy.
I have a small selection of Razors (Merkur 34c, Rockwell 6c, Muhle R41/89/Rocca), but I just use this now for face shaving all the time.

The only negative I can think of is if used for body shaving it clogs up quick, so taking off long hair (more than 1cm we are talking here) the R41 is more efficient and still my first choice for body shaving.
