New Rocnel SE-G Gem style razor.

Extra shaving.com say coming soon. 525TL about £115 shipped.
I'm scratching my head and the other hand's stroking my chin.

I could cope with that.....but in the back of my mind I am thinking.....Do I want to pay a fairly substantial sum of money to be a Beta tester? The only thing certain is that once released into the wild.. an improved version will appear to correct the initial design faults!. I want one.....but I want to see how the wind blows!

My thoughts entirely.

My thoughts entirely, unforeseen teething problems, finishing etc.
 
Thanks for that video. Now more certain that I will not be getting one as find it still quite ugly. I am lucky in that I can get really nice Shaves with an ER Streamline/ Jewel, and it is better looking than the Rocnel. and a lot cheaper too.

It's certainly not a very pretty thing but, as with most things Rocnel, it's a clever design, well-executed. I suspect that the other new Gem-style razors will look pretty similar, as I would think that the Gem blade places as many, if not more, constraints as the AC and Schick SE blades.

I may consider getting one, but that will depend in part on what the other planned Gem razors look like, and become available (and their cost). I have several old ones, of which my favourite is the Natural Angle, but I've been having a break from them, and I'm not sure that a new model is justified; even on the grounds of using up my stash of blades.
