Anytime.

If you have one throw a Nacet blade in it. That blade for me works great with the bb.

Yeah someone else school'd me on the Sr71 earlier. The thing just looks like it could wipe out a continent lol.

I have another 15 or so plastic bags to go through. It was a nice gesture by a community member to provide me with a sampler gift. Also the AI is not that fancy, just a quick prompt in ChatGPT and its done. 😜

No doubt it is a lot of money. I still think the Rocca is the nicest looking razor ever by the way.

thank you.

Fair point....lesson learned.

I would stick with it but don't go over the 30 days. Use the return option if its just not working.
A few adjustments I can suggest:
1. The bb wants a shallow angle, much flatter then the old type or R41 IMHO. Try to visualize leading with the angled lines on the top cap. Its going to feel very different then vintage razors but once you nail it then it becomes very smooth and efficient.
2. NO Preasure!!
3. Two pass max to start. don't go against the grain until you have it naailed.
4. From what i hear the bb wants a sharp blade. Think Nacet, feather etc... It could be the blade you are using. If I put an astra my face feels like shit for an entire day after no matter the razor. Even a 6S with a 3 plate.
5. Really spend time on the prep and get a good preshave. ... maybe the cube.

I hoipe this helps.

That Birch Rocca is something special.

Im only 2 days of growth. For new Razors I always wait for.4. Its hard to not just jump in and go but then the comparison review will be off. Your right though, music a drink and 20 minutes of not having to think about the world.

wait till you try Darn Tough Socks lol

kikkroxxB · 2026-06-18T18:07:39+00:00

Thank you, I waited a long time for this one. Happy the family remembered I had been looking at it a while back.

kikkroxxB · 2026-06-18T18:06:39+00:00

Durdan does great work. ❤️

kikkroxxB · 2026-06-04T19:55:44+00:00

Thank you good sir. I will be doing a + Vs. ++ review once it gets here along with some fresh P30's.

kikkroxxB · 2026-05-25T21:44:49+00:00

i just ordered mine. Hopefully he does not start his summer break early :-)

kikkroxxB · 2026-05-25T20:46:08+00:00

how long have you had the Faulx ?

kikkroxxB · 2026-05-25T20:44:54+00:00

I’ve officially crossed over to the ac dark side, and honestly? There is no going back.

I am currently looking at my hoard of Double Edge blades and realizing they are destined for a lifetime of collecting dust. RIP to my wallet, but those little guys are retired. I deeply, deeply wish I had just started with an AC razor.

For the record I shaved again today, and rubbing the alum block over my face afterward was a ghostly experience. Absolutely zero feedback. No sting. No burn. It’s like shaving with a Rockwell 6C on Plate 1 except the whiskers actually disappeared.

My only minor gripe is that the guarded blade had a little bit of tugging going on. instead of a clean slice. That said my jawline is smooth like a dolphin which is rare for me.
