Gents did you see how cool is this?

Rocnel Elite (means expensive?) Series, solid stainless steel, very nice! Since the razor in the pics is a prototype marked as 1/12 I suppose we're in for a wild ride!

I don't know, I'm not sure it is even special in some way. I can only suppose it has a superior build quality/precision? I can only see it looks really good, mirror polished and well balanced, as you can see from one video.

I wonder how much this razor weighs. I think it's time they start making less bulky razors. No one wants to shave with a brick in his hands.

It looks like a Rocnel MD-P20 which was Rocnel's very first DE razor. Today, it is proposed as a Custom model. The Elite Series could be the MD-P20 with different handles and a fixed blade gap etc.

Looks awesome.

I can't afford it. Maybe if I get rich one day and have the opportunity to buy it I would.

The details look very nice.

I have to wonder how they arrived at the price though when the Wolfman isn't that expensive if you can get one directly from James.

At that price I doubt anyone will buy it. Unless someone tries it and gives an epic review.

People are paying $600 to $1000 and up for Wolfmans and BBS1's. No reason to think they wouldn't do the same with this one. I'm sure some will just for the simple fact of saying they have one.
