RazoRock Merkur 34c HD clone in 316L has arrived

[Odinarcade00]

Got the GOAT this weekend. Very nice shave this morning. Yes it is mild, but it took down 2 days growth admirably.

I love mild razors

I received mine on the 28th this morning gave it ago tried a new Personna Lab blade in my razor on four days of growth, lathering up with my B&B Essentials brush and Proraso Green. Arko or a less filmy soap would've been better for cleanup. The razor is mild with minimal blade feel maybe due to over-lathering but had some audible feedback during touch-ups. Not sure I like the lack of blade feel compared to my 34C. Next time, I’ll test it with my older HD handle for comparison. hopefully sometime get my weber bulldog handle to try

Ok, you all talked me into it I ordered my GOAT today. Yet another RR handle to add to my collection. I am looking forward to using the GOAT and I like the look of the hollowed handle.

Edit: I am participating in All Vintage April so I will not try out the GOAT until May.

I have the GOAT and the BBS on the way.... I'm not sure I'll be able to hold out until May... We'll see... I did have a great first Vintage April shave this morning....

The bbs oc is one of my favorites!
I've been shaving with the GOAT all week and the honeymoon isn't over. Flawless shaves. I'm going to experiment with some heavier handles just to see the difference.

I'm getting the OC and the A base plates with the BBS cap.... I suspect the OC will be my favorite, as the RR SuperSlant L2++OC is wonderful for me....

Welp..... I also caved and fell under the spell of the enablers. Again... Ordered a GOAT today. I'm a weak man

Dear Kim,

You’re not helping, j/k

I have super hard stubble, I have to shave daily, prefer positive blade exposure and razors that are on the more aggressive side and I don't do ATG!
With that said, the current (neutral base plate) offering is more than sufficient for me and will probably never upgrade
to the future + or ++.
This might look like a 33 or 34 but that's where the similarities end!
But I get it if you want much more blade feel and I guess some more efficiency (even though it's as good on efficiency
as any of my top shelf razors when it comes to that!)

@LRod

Impressive review Larry! As you know I like high efficiency razors, ie Blackbird Ti, Rocnel Elite 2023 and Nodachi Ti. . . how do you compare it to these razors? Do I need to wait for + plate? Is it as mild as Overlander, Bison or 3One6?
