Got one of them as well. Doesn't often come out of its box, though.

Love that brush.
I've just hauled out my boxes of Rocnels, which contain:-Then it needs a day out
Thank you sir!Love that brush.
I think the razor in question is the SE-P rather than the SE50.
Thanks.And you are probably right knowing me. Thanks for the correction
I know this is an SE thread but what are the Rocnel DE's like?
I've had to trim a little off certain blades in the SE-P when they've stuck out too far, and both need care to position the blades precisely.
Painful, and too much claret in the washbasin isn't good. The SE-P is a masterclass in machining something that precise, and is a great demonstration of a design that on the face of it shouldn't work, but does. The tab removal is a real PITA, but in the end I resorted to sharp scissors and a pre-cut. A pity that loading and unloading it is probably best-achieved wearing knife-proof gloves.I found that one out for myself. Depends how they snap and find I have to be choosy over which half I use. I also find positioning makes a huge difference and how they snap. If they snap with a curled edge that can be testing on the nerves. And then of course having to snap the tabs off. Not much of a blade left by then other than the sharp bit.
First time I ended up with half a Polsilver sticking the end of my finger.

A good razor. I have the tri-metal trio, and the brass is currently in use. I think the first AC razors I bought were Mongoose and Alumigoose, but I can't recall the last time I used them. My big favourite among the ACs is the Occam's, original version.View attachment 71979
Stainless Colonial General. The razor which made me realise there was much better than the aluminium Hawk.
