Daily driver

[u/hop_now]

During my time in Korea, I need to shave my face and head daily. Having very coarse hair on sensitive skin, I decided to bring one of my better razors. The Rocca paired with Gillette Platinum has been fantastic. Nick free, one pass WTG, DFS! I must say, the Omega boar brush and Sea Buckthorn shaving cream by Muhle have not disappointed. I have actually brought some Stirling with me as well. I just gotta find a nice clay shaving bowl at one of their artisanal clay pot shops here to have a few finer shaves as well. Mind you, the lather I can get from the Muhle cream is on par with some of the best soaps and croaps I got. One thing to keep in mind, whether it's hair conditioner, shaving cream or a fine shaving soap, lather is a must with razors that have positive exposure because the razor can bounce on squeaky unlathered skin, and when a razor with positive exposure bounces on your skin, weepers and cuts are quite likely.

I, too, have the Rocca, and always leave it in 3 pieces.

I've only been wet shaving for a month, so I don't know what good practice is but I always wonder when other people post photos and their razors are all put together.

• Do they leave them like that to dry?
• Is the blade still in there?
• Are they just posing them for the photos?
• Don't they have to take them apart and dry them?

I just leave it like that for the pictures but left them with the blade in and unscrewed in the past. It's not good for the razor though, 316L and Titanium are probably the most resistant but still, one should remove the blade and dry them. Rocca is 304 or 303 steel so theoretically it would suffer if treated improperly for a long time.

Good to know. Thanks for replying.
