Yes. He brought me an SE razor

Murat also confirmed with me that the cost was $25 via email. Either way, no commitment until order time and we will see.

Thanks that's an incredible incredible price. When I saw his De razor was almost $300 I thought the SE would be similar but that's great news I appreciate it I am on the list and soon we will have another razor to add to our small large collections

It's good to hear that Santa Claus is so good to you you must have been a very very good boy

I'm happy to believe in Santa Claus unless and until what ends up in my stocking is a lump of coal.

Just turn it into a diamond...

I had Cihan, wet-shaving enthusiast in Greece that is trying out an earlier version of the Rocnel SE, come over to TSD and post his thoughts as his English excellent and he is one of the few people I know that have been using the prototype.
He'll also be posting a video or two showing the razor in use - including how the blade is loaded.

Definitely interested and thanks darkbulb. Any chance he could join the fun here at DFS as well?

I'm confused. A CNC can knock out the Rocnel SE in almost no time, yet they only plan o make 3 per week? Something seems off in that regard.

and sell them for $25. I don't get it myself...

Three per weeks was for the boxed DE razors.
This will be my last post in this thread.

this might be worth reading from the post linked by darkbulb a few posts back:

I will try to write a review this weekend and I shot a video showing how to load the razor and I will also share it. Before writing my review I want to comment on one thing about the price: Yes the price is $25. This might seem a little odd especially when compared to the Rocnel DE razor and to most other Stainless Steel razors. I will pass you the information based on my communication with Murat and my knowledge of manufacturing processes generally.

Rocnel uses class 316 stainless steel. This is the hardest quality and hardest stainless steel but still it is just steel. It is not gold. It is harder to work on compared to 316L stainless steel since you can't do welding processes with 316. 316L is a version of 316 which is easier to work on and possible to do welding on most processes. What really defines the price for these razors is the time CNC machine spends for making one. Rocnel is new in making razors but they have been producing steel parts for many companies for years. They have a very capable machine park (not just one CNC) and state of the art machines. They are not using the cheapest possible CNC in the market for manufacturing. Rocnel DE is a three piece DE razor while the Rocnel SE is a 2 piece razor + the double sided screw. It takes very long to produce a DE razor even in their modern CNC machines. There are too many details. Even the screw on the top plate is not welded but carved from the same block of steel. Rocnel SE is a very simple but clever design. CNC manufactures one in incredibly short time. This is the reason why Rocnel is able to offer it only for $25 + shipping.
