I'm returning the RazoRock Goat SS back tomorrow, it's been an interesting experience, I'm glad to see RazoRock has created a razor in stainless steel version of a similar or closer to the original Merkur 34C HD. That, a lot of wet shavers have experience and owned the Merkur 34C or 34G in their own den, it's a love and hate two piece razors, as YMMV some wet shavers find it, it's just right, and some find it's too mild as we all have different experience.
I've owned the Merkur 34C since I first started wet shaving many moons ago in my 30s, straight out from cartridge razors and airy can goo crap.
I've also owned a Weber razor awhile back since I've been hunting them online for years, which is a very close and near precise version of the Merkur 34C, however, it's a real shame the Weber razor isn't in production anymore when they offer their stainless steel version due to quality control issue back somewhere in 2010 or 2011.
RazoRock Goat SS gap is slightly wider, and the blade exposure is NOT neutral according to their website at all when comparing side by side with the original 34C. The blade exposure feels like double the rate, because, the RazoRock Goat blade exposure is one step higher against the original Weber razor I've owned in my den, when comparing them side by side against the Goat SS.
The Weber razor gap is the same as the 34C, with a slightly more blade exposure, just one step under against the RazoRock Goat blade exposure.
I find the Weber razor the most comfortable and the most enjoyable razor I've owned against the Merkur 34C and the Goat SS, the Goat SS blade exposure is a bit too much against the 34C for beginners, who never experience real traditional wet shaving with a double edge blade.
IF, RazoRock Goat drop the blade exposure slightly down a notch, keep the gap the same, and this new Goat SS razor well become near precise as the original Weber razor version.
My rate level blade exposure from high to low.
1. RazoRock Goat.
2. Weber razor
3. Merkur 34C & 34G
