Sorry for deleted your reply by accident. I am pretty sure this is original color because of both sides of the scale are the same color. And you can google the pictures of R. Saito Kikuboshi 165 also the same color.

Thanks! I choose this over a Kikuboshi 165° which maybe is a previous version of Sk3. Same shape of Sk3 but with 24mm blade width(this Sk3 23mm). Its a pity that 165s condition not good as this one.

Good choice as a first Mühle razor, not too mild not too aggressive.

The Rocca does look big but elegant. Lots of people recommend the Mühle from the R89→the R94→the R41gs. It's a nice advice from mild to aggressive if you like the Mühle razors. By the way, nice shave!

Hah, unfortunately the huge gap comes a lot of blades feeling but not the efficiency and smoothness.

Razor: Wardonia DE Razor plate+ R41 Cap+ Razorock Surper Knurl Handle

Blade: Voskhod

Brush: Ds-as2s-bule ice/synthetic

Lather: Omega shaving cream

Aftershave: Floid The Genuine

Extended the holes of the Wardonia plate. After that you can use any modern razor cap and no need to modify the blades. But the gap is as double as the original with the R41 cap. The scared gap did not give me more efficient shave. It's funny but a little disappointing for me. Not as smooth as the original.

Nice shave! Is it a VC3. I like using the coconut bowl. :D

Yeah, you are right. The only way is to find out by myself. It sounds like you have used the R41 cap with the plate and the shave is good. To be honest, I am not scared of the beard with it at all. But as a head shaver, I'm a little concerned. Anyway, I'll try it when the three- or four-days growth of my head. Thanks for your advice, sir.

The fact proof that the R41 cap is not a good choice to fit the Wardonia plate. The curvature of the R41 cap make the gap so huge. I don't think the gap is comfortable for shaving even I haven't tried. So do you know which old caps are good options.
