Rocnel DE-P safety razor

Rocnel have been making safety razors for the past two years and now have joined forces with another Turkish brand , Barbaros , creating excellent safety razors.

I tried the Barbaros TR-1 safety razor last year with good results and I was surprised that it was no longer made after a while.

Well , I'm afraid that this Rocnel DE-P took over and this is the reason I have lately sold some of my safety razors.



This razor is made of stainless steel 316 and , let me tell you , as the quality razors out there , is quite sturdy , with a weight over 100g and it's very well balanced.

It's handle is kind of a "generic" Rocnel handle , since is the same that is used for the Rocnel SE 50 single edge.

The knurling is deep , rugged and the handle is long enough in case you have big hands and you don't like small handles.





It's closed comb head is one of the best I have tried on a while.Yes , I will write it again , the best I have tried on a while , and I think I have been using the finest safety razors out there these past few months.

The smoothness of this razor is hard to believe.Its extra smooth , I really mean it.With a Derby Premium Blade or Blue Astra it's hard to believe you're shaving.But my friend , smooth doesn't means mild and this razor will bite you if you exercise more presión than you should.

Don't get me wrong , while the feeling is extra smooth , take a couple shaves to adjust to that feeling , and when you are adjust , then you can "feel" much better how does shaves.





To me this closed comb head shaves more "efficiently" than a Timeless 0.68 closed comb head and I think that the Timeless is a heck of a closed comb head.

I like to use this closed comb head with the Matador Elegante handle , which makes a truly stunning stainless steel razor :



If I have to choose some double edge razors these days , or at least , make a ranking of the 3 more efficient and smoothest ones for me , this would be :

1.Seygus.
2.Rocnel
3.Timor closed comb head.

Rocnel have truly made a closed comb head that combines smoothness to a extreme with high efficiency at the time of shaving.Two passes and almost a BBS for me.I have medium to hard beard , specially under my jaw and neck , and this Rocnel take cares of it like it would be the easiest job ever.And it's not.

You can buy this razor for the US market straight from Rocnel or at BullGoose Shaving and don't wait the week and half (maybe more) that takes to arrive from Turkey.For me , worth every penny of its price , 175 dollars.

I'm a happy shaver.

Thanks for the review. I have been interested in this razor. I wish they sold the head alone.

Thanks for sharing the review for this razor Teiste. It looks to be a fine razor indeed. RAD will soon be back in full swing for me I fear.
