The scalloped safety bar is also close to the Rocnel Elite 2023 hybrid... and the Yaqi 37 Slant... I look forward to using it...
RazoRock Merkur 34c HD clone in 316L has arrived
- Thread starter redrako
- Start date
I'm looking forward to as well. ....I'll make sure I open my box indoors and over carpet.
Oh no Kim!
You can always write them and explain what happened. They might sympathize and just send you a new base plate. You never know!
Italian Barber's customer service is A-1!
The nicks are so slight, they won't affect the performance at all.... They are only noticeable when you look closely now... They aren't raised bumps, so the blade will still fit snug. It is a reminder to me why I shave with a thick bathroom mat under my feet at the sink when I'm shaving. <eg>

I succumbed and ordered one today. I need to be done buying razors for a while, though, if forever.

My GOAT arrived today, on time. I took it out of the box. Very nice looking razor, typical of RazoRock. Fit and finish is perfect. Now, I box it back up and save it until May. From the reviews I have read and watched, I am expecting it to be similar to the .84 Game Changer but we will see.
Edit: The one thing I noticed is how short the threaded stud is. It is plenty long enough to do the job but I would like it to be a bit longer to have more threads going into the handle. Just my petty OCD malarkey.

Judging from the site they say it should be between the .76 and .84. I'm sort of hoping it'll feel more like a Rockwell 6s using plate 5 or 6.
I can't wait to find out. I'll let you know. hehIf that is the case, the GOAT will work well for me. Thanks.Judging from the site they say it should be between the .76 and .84. I'm sort of hoping it'll feel more like a Rockwell 6s using plate 5 or 6.
Merkur Progress on 1 or 1.5. Also recently got a Mühle R89 which ended up being a wonderfully mild and smooth shaver.
Nooooooo. Once was enough for me.
What I felt was rough and dangerous. IDK if that’s blade gap, blade feel, or what. I like mild razors.
My GOAT also arrived today. First RazoRock. Nicely finished. I'm hoping it shaves as nice as it looks. I want to finish comparing my adjustables this week so maybe I'll try it this weekend.
Got it!
Now I understand.
I guess the GOAT can be too much for someone that enjoys what you seek. I'll take that into consideration whenever I review a razor.
I tend to forget that I like razors that are more on the aggressive & very efficient end of the spectrum and some (like you) enjoy the opposite. Good to know!!
For my money, this is gem of the BBS line. Let us know how it goes when you get to it.
As someone who sees F-18s (+ F-35s) on an almost daily basis - I enjoyed the laugh.
Reminds me of the Tomcat / Zero sequence from that film - The Final Countdown with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen

Cool and slimy
Someone already said it, the BBS-A is imo by far the best plate. The AS is a bit too mean.
We'll see... the BBS-OC couldn't have been better... and I don't enjoy too much efficiency, so the "A" base plate might be a bit much.... After months of trials and too much money, I settled on a SuperSlant L2++OC... supposedly more efficient than their L2+ and ++.. Both of those were too efficient for me, but the OC has been perfect every shave....
Hopefully, I'll enjoy both the OC and the "A" base plates... I'll know tomorrow... as I'm not a daily shaver.
