The Shave.
The Jupiter is solid, whilst the blade in the Rocnel hums.
The Jupiter was easy to maintain the shaving angle.
I was struggling a bit with the Rocnel which I don't normally so put that down to playing with two razors in the same shave.
Both performed very well but for shaving quality. I think the Jupiter is just that bit better than the Rocnel.
Styling.
Jubiter's head is pretty much the same of most razors and the ridges on the handle are functional.
Rocnel is more about the hard lines, probably due to its machine finish and the detailing on the handle
This one goes to Rocnel as the Jupiter looks a bit of a plain Jane in comparison.
Both razors are very good in use, very reasonably priced and different enough that I don't have to make a choice over which one I prefer
