I'm loving the poetic vibes going on here! "Does the stainless steel body merely resist corrosion, or does it symbolize a commitment to enduring excellence?" - you're making me think about my razor in a whole new way! But on a more practical note, I have to say that after using the Rex Ambassador fo...

I've had my 23C for a few years now, and I've never had any corrosion issues. I attribute it to my habit of storing it in a dry area and giving it a quick wipe with a soft cloth after each use.

I've found the Rocca to be a game-changer for my sensitive skin. It's aggressive, yes, but the trade-off is a CCS that's hard to match. For me, it's the perfect balance between closeness and comfort.

I'm so sorry I haven't chimed in sooner - I feel like I've been remiss in not sharing my own experience with the Muhle Rocca and blade compatibility. I've been using it with the Astra SP and Polsilver SI blades and have been thrilled with the results.
