Can’t wait to see more pics with the new Rocca! Especially with the new rose gold...cool factor 1000+

Has anyone tried this razor yet? Is the shave any milder than the V3?

Having now used the Rocca V4 for several weeks, I find the razor smooth and efficient, definitely much smoother than my previous V3 Rocca's. With the switch to full CNC machining for the top cap and base plate, I suspect the Rocca V4 has finally solved the problem of poor manufacturing tolerances - that too many of the previous version MIM Rocca's were sold with, resulting in rough shaves for some. I always liked the Rocca's balance, well judged weight, voice and warm, tactile feel of the birch-bark handle. It now shaves as well as it looks and feels. Muhle appear to have finally got it right with the Rocca.

V4 Rocca is now really well made. I think Muhle finally got things right.

Hmmn looks tempting @Sausage !

That does look good. How big is the handle?

I dont have measures but I assume same dimensions as the birch and black handle. I feel it is slightly heavier than those other Rocca handles. I am not sure but it feels heavier a bit.

Looks great. Re-assuring to see no gap between the top cap and bottom plate.

Absolutely tight construction. Feels secure. The finishing is great.

Looks great, especially the new handle.

What a difference. Looks great!

Just checked Executive Shaving - the handle is 95mm long and 14mm diameter - quite chunky.

Looks like Santa is going to be making a late delivery from Glasgow.

Supposedly the handle weight and length remain the same, at 80 grams and I think the handle is slightly more than 95mm at 105mm. Diameter is 14mm. I find the Rocca handle and head one of the best balanced razors I have used, some heft but not overly so and slightly head heavy.
