Well that's a novel method of distribution. Much better than first come first served.

They are doing it this way to lower the shipping cost. This way razors will travel to country in one big box and the fright forwarder later will ship it locally.

Hi Ckeskin - many thanks for all the info you have been providing; much appreciated!
Out of interest, have you come across any reviews of the more expensive but beautiful Rocnel DE razor? I cannot find any on any forums and was interested if you had heard any feedback on it?
I have pre-ordered the SE in either event!
Cheers

Ok gentlemen, as I promised I am sharing some photos and my experience with the final product. If you haven't read my review on the prototype I suggest you read that first since this is not a full review but more of an update to the previous review.
First of all, I really want to congratulate the guys at Rocnel for this amazing razor. Every possible improvement I noted down during the time I tried the prototype has been done and the result is an amazing razor. I will share the rest in bullet points:
- Handle is shorter and therefore lighter than the prototype's handle. This is a very positive change since it is much easier to use the razor on the neck area now and also the razor is easier to handle and more balanced.
- Smooth handle looks amazing and is not slippery at all. It stays in your hand very well. If you drop it, it is your fault. (You can still get the knurled handle if you wish.)
- The finishing of the head is probably done by sanding. Looks and feels great. The workmanship is top notch. Soap easily cleans off with water.
- Comes in a very nice gift box.
- It is more aggressive than DE89 and R89 but not a lot more aggressive. It gives great results with sharp blades. My favourite is Feather so far.
I think this razor worth much more than what is costs and it is a must have for every traditional wet shaving lover.

This was going to be my question (it uses snapped DE blades). When you've snapped the side tabs off, how does one safely remove the blade?

Still not convinced a Thin DE Blade aint Gonna Chatter or Flex to some Degree with this Design..The Proof would be in the Pudding of Course & I still haven't seen a proper shave video with these with anybody that has bought one..

If anyone knows and to save me trawling - what is the length of the production handle, please? It's been shortened to what?
There is only one way to settle this. Many opinions. Pass Around!!!Still not convinced a Thin DE Blade aint Gonna Chatter or Flex to some Degree with this Design..The Proof would be in the Pudding of Course & I still haven't seen a proper shave video with these with anybody that has bought one..
