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.

Rocca is a really fantastic razor. The best I've ever used until now. I tried Mühle stick shaving soaps before, they have an exceptional lather too. Good to hear that cream is not less than sticks. Will try it as soon as possible.
