Rocnel Elite 2019 Limited Edition Razor -Aggressive Version

Excellent razor! This is very smooth and extremely efficient. I have used several higher end DE razors and find this one outstanding! Don't get intimidated by the word 'Aggressive'. This razor is quite smooth and efficient beyond words! In just one pass you will get the DFS! If you are more towards BBS or glass finish you might need another pass. This is one of the best purchases I have made on DE razors!! Outstanding!!!

A exceptional razor . Design and build quality is outstanding and so is the shave. I have a 2017 mild version and love it . I purchased a new 2019 aggressive model and find it very comfortable with No irritation . This is my go to favorite razor out of a extensive collection of high end DE razors that now sit idle . I love the heavier weight as it does all the work without added pressure . The new version is a bit lighter by redesign of the base plate and handle end .
I highly recommend this razor to all . Don't be afraid of the aggressive plate as I have very sensitive skin and have always used mild razors in the past . This is much more efficient yet is smooth and comfortable with Feather blades . Get one if you can as the company makes a small number per year .

Picked up the agressive version, this is an excellent razor. Fit, finish, feel, quality of shave, excellent.

Very smooth and comfortable shave! Trying out the razor with Gillette Platinum DE blades from St. Petersburg, Russia and this combo thus far has made for easy and enjoyable shaves. Am recovering from shoulder surgery, so have been shaving, periodically, several days growth with my offhand. The shaves have been close, exceptionally comfortable, and nick free! Highly recommend this well crafted tool and, as always, Phil’s great service!

I bought Rocnel Elite 2019 Aggressive plate just before Christmas and bullgoose’s service was stellar. I just love this razor. There is a learning curve and I believe that you have to ride the cap with this razor (shallow angle). Tried Feathers, Kai and PolSilver Super Irridium blades. For me and my face Polsilver gave me the best results so far. It’s an amazing razor!

I recommend this razor to everyone. Agressive might be too strong of a word. It’s more efficient and imo rather forgiving.
It did remind me of a straight razor shave, so close.
I do have to add there is no number in the butt of my handle, but an anchor.

Built like a tank. Excellent shaver smooth and efficient.

The word "aggressive" might scare some people off, but I think this is more "efficient" than aggressive. I always feel like my skin is in amazing condition after shaving with this, because there is really no irritation whatsoever. I have no idea how Rocnel have achieved this.

It was a bit of a learning curve at first, because the razor works much better at a shallow angle (handle away from your face), and because the razor likes the sharpest blade possible, all of which sounds a bit scary. I am struggling to find a reason to use anything else now.

This razor is absolutely amazing. I own the mild version and it worked OK however it was really just too mild for me. The new aggressive version is what I had hoped the M version would have been. The razor itself is a work of art, very well made and screams quality. The razor is very effective and I can get a super close shave with one pass and touch up. Normally I will take more time and enjoy my shaves. This razor makes shaving a breeze and really comfortable. I haven't had any weepers, nicks, abrasions or scrapes with this razor and I still use a feather blade which is really amazing. Give it a try you'll be glad you did.

A Very well made razor , Built to perfection from high quality stainless steel and shaves like a dream .
I have to say that i had a real good and close shave with this razor, it's quite pricey but, if you can afford it there is no doubt you should buy it.

I took my Pilot shave last night with two days if hair growth. I found last years model was not quite efficient enough with its 1.95 base plate height, the new adjustments of 2.1 turned a good razor into a great razor. I took off all my facial and neck hair in one pass with just a tad of touch up on some neck areas that has to be done with all razors. Clearly this razor is in contention to be in my top three double edge razors, competing with my wolfman .74, and Raw Shaving RS10. I plan to rotate the three for the next month to properly place the order of these three, but It is highly likely that this Rocnel takes number 1 and in the unlikely event of missing it then 2nd place is definitely guaranteed. As you can tell I am very excited about this razor. The only flaw I see is packaging, as they went cheap there but I noticed the price reflected the savings directly to the customers, so that is hard to fuss about considering that it was $295 and now has dropped significantly to $249 making it more competitive and affordable, yeah I think I can live with the cheaper box for those savings. If you are on the fence, I recommend doing it, as there are more expensive razors that perform nowhere near as good.

Amazing razor! Not aggressive, i would consider it ideal. This should be their standard blade gap, in my opinion the the previous elite is way to mild unless you shave twice in a 24 hour period. Its a shame it was a limited run...i hope they make more in this "aggressive" blade gap. Bullgoose got it to me super fast. Very happy overall.

Il Rocnel Elite 2019 model A si conferma un punto di riferimento della rasatura contemporanea con il rasoio di sicurezza. Il taglio è confortevole, la meccanica perfetta, così come sono perfette le finiture e i materiali. Unica nota stonata la scatola: per un rasoio di questo livello avrebbero potuto offrire una scatola più importante.

I've been DE wet shaving for close to 20 years. I've had many lesser razors but nothing compares to this one. If I had to take one to the grave this would be it. The balance is right for me and the weight lets the handle float across my beard. I never thought I would spend this much for a razor but I'm happy with my purchase and now can box up the others.

The Rocnel 2018 and the Rocnel Sailor are among my most beloved razors and now the 2019 Aggressive model has joined them, so far tried them with 3 different blades and all give me fantastic shaves.

Very efficient razor. Took off four days of growth with no problem and comfortably with a Feather blade.
As usual Bullgoose customer service was exemplary.
