Borrowed the stainless steel base plate to find out which blade gap.

 

Last week, I got my own Henckels Rapide razor, and this week I am shaving with it. It is a very nice OC wedge razor. It came with three blades. I kept the best and sent the rest to @twhite for resharpification. Here is todays shave.

1920 something, single ring style Rotbart Mond Extra, pre Gillette, I think.

 

Always like those 1920 "somethings". Nice razor.

Yes, really ashame that Rotbarts can be so difficult to date sometimes, but the shaves they provide are fantastic.

Really makes me wonder where King Gillette got his inspiration from sometimes.

Is that a "new" 7 O'clock head or a 7 O'clock NEW (old) head? ??

Herm

 

It's an old NEW made by 7 O'Clock ...

 

I figured. I was thinking they still made the 7 O'clock. Nice razor!
