I thought this was pretty cool on how you can take it apart to clean - I received an email from the artisan with this link:
In the end, it is just a blade holder huh?Sweet! It’s a expensive…beautiful…but expensive…thing of beauty!
That you my friend!Sweet! It’s a expensive…beautiful…but expensive…thing of beauty!

Too true. And any brush will get the lather on.I want to say “Says the man who owns a Tedalus
One of these days I’m going to have to make a TSC video using one of my popsicle stick razors.In the end, it is just a blade holder huh?
This is the Deluxe Fatboy with the custom display stand.
If that had a Stainless Steel handle Brian would buy it from you.

I had to throw in the Baller as a tip of the cap to @NurseDave

Thank you kindly my friend, but given my predilection for citrus, this is an over-lime blog
I wish my M-16 was made that well.
Or at least that easy to take apart and put back together
Tru dat!

Keep your shirts on! Yes, I made a video and I’m editing it now - sheesh!
Now - was the razor worth every penny - A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y!!!!! I know that this razor is new - so it still has that shine - and I know it cost a lot of duckers - so there is the justify the cost in the back of your head. But to me - this lived up to everything I wanted in a DE razor. It’s stainless steel and it is H-E-A-V-Y!!!! Yet it is so balanced - it isn’t awkward to move around your face - even under the nose. And when they say - let the razor do the work - let me tell you - there is no effort in this - especially on the first pass. Now for today’s shave - I only tried settings 2 & 3 - but this was just like the last few razors (looking at you Stando & Monocero) - it is so hard to explain - you know the blade is there while at the same time - there is no harshness - it is smooth as silk. I know that I have to take this razor out for some more spins - but I can say that I am so glad I invested in this one.
Now, like in the video I explain - there are some unknowns - for instance - there aren’t any real stats on this (weight, length, gaps) - Bullgoose does have a version of this razor - but the description I can tell is from the 2019 version - because it mentions the efficiency levels - a M & A - while the 2020 and on - have 1-5 in Roman Numerals. Additionally, there are two versions - the standard (sold at Bullgoose and on Rocnel’s website) and the Master’s Collection (only on Rocnel Website). I forgot to ask Murat what the differences were - but there is a $200 difference between the two. I believe the only difference is that the Master‘s Collection comes with the stand. There are also rumors that the standard doesn’t have the engraving at the bottom. Either way - whatever version - it is a fantastic razor. Really Thor’s Hammer!
I of course, had to go upscale for the shave - I saved the Oumo brush specifically for this occasion. And the soap and cologne - Très Magnifique! So as far as shaving goes - I will probably be on Cloud 9 for a while with this razor. I want to get in a couple more face shaves before I attempt a noggin shave.
Anyway - since it is officially today (Tuesday) Aidan and I have music therapy and hopefully a wonderful day! Have a great day cadre and I will post the video as soon as possible - since it is midnight - later on this morning (That was a lot tougher than I thought it would be).
