Figaro P.160 shaving soap (vintage)
Delta Echo Black Chrome-Nickel Feather AS-D2
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (8)

I can tell already that this brush is going to be a favorite. It is firm with great backbone, but its hair tips are extremely soft.

Holy Rocca. This beast is right in between the Muhle R89 (EJ DE89) and the R41, just above or more on the Merkur 34C aggressive rate and is much safer to shave the Rocca by riding the cap with some blade feel. The Rocca is very smooth IMHO using a smooth blade as possible and I've chosen the Gillette Nacet blade, I'm overwhelmed the Rocca has some extra weight because the whole head and the handle is fully stainless steel with some kind of black rubber grippy feel attached to the handle. Beside is way too early for me to give you my full judgement on the Rocca, all I can say at the moment the Rocca is very smooth IMHO as YMMV depending on your shaving techniques and your stubble because you can nick yourself very easy. This razor is a keeper in my den, I'm so glad I got myself a Muhle Rocca.

Lovely photo, Clint.  

Thank you Celestino. I hope you have a wonderful day.
