This is indeed the "Goldolocks" of razors, in my opinion! I now won 9 razors. Each has it positive and negative characteristics. I have a mental issue with my adjustable razors, I always want to crank them up and pay the price. In all honesty a Futur with a feather blade set to position 1 or 2 is good enough but NO always have to go 4+. My Rockwell T2SS is a winner but it does get a little difficult to open and close so it requires regular dis-assembly and cleaning. My Merkur 34 INOX is a favorite but is a touch too mild requiring multiple passes to achieve a DFS. This muhle rocca is my favorite razors. Three piece is easy to clean, requires minimal cleaning. No adjustability to set off that mental issue. This razor is aggressive to the beard but gentle to the skin. No razor burn. BFS close to BBS with 2 passes (Astra SP blade). Magnificent construction. Form and function in your hand. The one razor at the top of my list.
