Rocnel GEM SE

I think it looks nice! Might be tempted, price dependant.

It looks like it's going to be in the $200 range. Rocnels are getting expensive.

Thanks.

That's probably me out then! :-(

I am sure someone will offer one for a pass around.

Paul, you would be of great service to us all if you included Rocnel on your regular line of razors.

Oooh, looks abit like something from a headshop window

Weight 100gr, Length 90 mm.

That looks great!
A pass around would be fantastic @Paul

I really like the look of that especially the head angle which is already set. I have heard Gem razors are difficult to get under the nose due to the physical size of them. Someone will let me know if that is the case I'm sure but this looks nice and compact. If I'm getting a Gem style which is a serious possibility then it's probably between this and the ATT. I think the ATT is cheaper so it's in front.

Would one of you mind merging this thread with this one please; http://www.atgshaving.com/threads/rocnel-gem-se.5771/

Thanks gents... I think the loading mechanism is really interesting and rather innovative... one thing I don't like though, unless I'm mistaken, that video doesn't show the head being completely dismantled, I don't know if it can be completely dismantled, but if it can't that would be an issue for me. I like to completely take apart my razors after every shave so I can clean them thoroughly and towel dry them. It's a bit OCD and some would say over the top, but I like to really care for my shave gear and not having that option would be a bit of a bug bear... I hope it can be completely dismantled and he just hasn't shown that in the video.

I will advise as soon as I have one in hand. ETA is the end of next week.

I thought that too - if not, I'd be pulling a piece of kitchen towel soaked in barbecide through the blade slot every third shave. Mind you, there are less accessible bits on the GEM & ERs I out up with so....

So it's a bit like a GEM SE crossed with an injector and bit of TTO thrown in.

I like to the idea, and the looks.
