Rocnel Gem vs ATT Gem

If you like SE razors, this razor is a notch or so more aggressive then a British Ever Ready and a notch less then the RX with a pro blade, yet handles the Gem blade smoothly offering a comfortable shave that you could use daily.

The only issue is that you have to be careful when putting in a blade. There is very little room for error on the sides, before you tighten the blade set screw down be very sure the blade ends/corners are inside the head. If one end is slightly off and sticking out a smig you will cut/scrape yourself.

Sounds like an easy thing to do before you tighten it down. I'll let you know when I actually do it though. I guess it ships on the 30th barring any issues.

Now not shipping until July 31st. Order cancelled for me. This might be a good thing though as of now I'll get to read the reviews from all o the ones currently coming out. Not sure I like the pic of the PAA one though.

I would go for the Sabre out of any of them. The PAA one looks and feels uber-cheap.

I'll wait and read reviews, but it looks like Blackland and ATT at this point.

I'm really enjoying my Rocnell. It gives me tremendous shaves, and has a cool steampunk vibe. Feels very much like my 1912, 1914 and 1924.

Has anyone tried the Rocnel Gems and have anything tyo say. I'm a HUGE fan of the original Gem Micromatic and am hoping this Rocnel is aggressive. I have heard the ATT version is Mild. Anyone have any opinions to share?

Have not tried the ATT gem but it has a little screw you can't lose.

I have the rocnel and it's pretty nice. Smooth shaver. Moderately Aggressive. Heavy.

I have the sabre in order. Will be interested to compare the two.
