Rocca Shaving Set - S 31 M 95 SR

Rocca

Beautiful and distinctly masculine… It has a more modern and pronounced design compared to Mühle’s well-known products. It is crafted from the highest quality and most durable stainless steel. This effort is well worth it: the products are exceptionally sturdy and long-lasting. The satin or very fine matte finish makes you feel good not only when you touch it but also when you admire its elegant and pleasing appearance.

The shave provided by Rocca series tools is unique. In terms of aggressiveness, it sits between the well-known closed comb and open comb razors. It is more aggressive than closed comb razors but gentler than open comb razors, yet still suitable for daily shaving. Rocca is renowned for its ergonomics and special blade angle, offering the closest shave in the most comfortable way possible. Its excellent sound feedback is truly worth experiencing!

With all these details, the legacy you will leave with Rocca is quite evident. Its design was achieved by further developing classic Mühle models. The name Rocca (Italian for fortress) signifies the best materials and also that a Mühle product will stay with you for a lifetime.

It is offered in four different designs: birchwood, matte steel, black honeycomb-structured steel, and DLC black coating. Aside from the design differences, the head and grip ergonomics are identical.

- In traditional shaving, preparation is important. In preparation for shaving, the skin and beard should be softened, and this process should only be done with lather obtained from cream or soap.

- The skin should be softened by applying the whipped cream-like shaving foam with a shaving brush. Moving the shaving brush with the lather on your face for about 1 minute is enough to soften and stimulate the beard.

- Open the head of your razor. Hold the blade by its short edge, place it inside the razor, and close it.

- If your razor is a 3-piece, it will open by twisting its head; if it's a 2-piece, it will open by twisting the mechanism on the handle.

- Then, start shaving. Closed comb razors only touch the skin at a 30-45 degree angle. They cannot make direct contact with the skin. Open comb razors, however, can make direct contact. These razors cut and shorten the beard, so you need to shave with passes. It is important to shave according to the direction of your beard growth.

- For the first pass, shave in the same direction as your beard growth. While this direction is from top to bottom on the cheek, it may differ on the neck. Every man's beard growth direction is different and cannot be changed by the shaving direction.

- Do not press. Classic razors shave with their own weight. Gently hold the razor by its handle and do not press it against your skin. Allow it to glide with the lather and blade. For those new to traditional shaving, our primary goal is to achieve an irritation-free shave, not necessarily a perfectly clean one. As you get used to it (approximately 8-10 shaves), clean shaves will come naturally. Do not go over the same spot repeatedly.

- After the first pass, reapply lather to your face with a brush or your hand. For the second pass, shave in the same direction again or diagonally for a closer shave (e.g., from ear to cheek, or cheek to ear).

- The skin perceives each blade contact as an impact. After shaving, it is important to soothe this impact. Aftershave products contain ingredients with high soothing properties. If you have problems like dryness, itching, or redness, use a balm. If you do not experience such discomfort, you can use a lotion for a lighter effect. Using both together is also common; you can apply lotion first, then balm.

- We recommend not shaving against the grain until you are fully accustomed to the razor. This can cause unwanted situations like irritation or ingrown hairs.

- Mühle classic razors have chrome-plated metal heads. Applying excessive force to metal parts can cause screw deformation, please do not do this. Oiling the metal parts a few times a year with metal oil will add value to the life of your razor.

- After shaving, remove the blade from the razor, dry it, and store it in its paper. Mühle razors are made of stainless zamak alloy. However, we do not recommend prolonged contact of the surface with a rusty blade.

- While the average number of uses for double-edge blades is 4-5, this depends directly on the razor used, frequency of shaving, blade brand, and skin type. Therefore, each person's number of uses is unique to them. Change the blade as soon as you feel it tugging at your beard instead of cutting it. Do not shave with a dull blade, as it will cause irritation.

- If your shaving brush has animal bristles, you need to pre-soften it. Soaking the brush in warm water (never boiling) for about 1 minute, deep enough to cover the roots of the bristles, will soften the bristles and prepare them for lathering. If your bristle type is Fibre, you can wet it directly and start shaving.

- Shaving brushes must be rinsed very well after each use and left to air dry. Alkaline accumulation in brushes that are not rinsed well at the base can lead to bristle shedding after a while, and this is considered user error.

- Do not expose brush bristles to water at a temperature that your hand cannot touch. This will both damage the bristles and degrade the epoxy at the base of the brush.

- We recommend not applying excessive force to the handle while making circular movements with your brush.
