    Tonight I shaved with this beautiful beast. The Henckels Rapides is a fantastic razor. I got the angle and extra light pressure nearly perfect and received a very close yet extremely comfortable shave. This Zenith Boar is an excellent affordable brush and Cella is a great reasonably priced soap. I like Cella so much I bought a Kilo a while back. I finished the shave with a splash of Lucky Tiger.

    Ach Brito Mogno
    ER 1914
    Gem S/S ( 3 )
    Alcolado Glacial A/S splash

    The ER 1914 used today delivered a more comfortable Shave than the 1924 used yesterday. Though the closeness of finish on the face was not as good, the overall finish quality was better as today I was happy with work done on the neck.

    The other day @petebellangerjr asked if I used a Gem blade or a wedge in my Henckels Rapides. I had thought about it midway through that shave. so today I tried a Kampfe Bros Star wedge blade in it. It fit perfectly which wasn't really a surprise since Gem blades fit perfectly. I just never thought to try it before. It shaved relatively well but I should have stopped the blade better. I switched to a Gem after the first pass for time sake. I will have to revisit this set up soon. Vintage Williams a Zenith Boar and Aqua Velva played supporting roles.

    I almost always use a Henckels wedge in my Henckels Rapide. I am fortunate to have a Star wedge that I use in my Kampfe Bros Star lather catcher. I really like that case you have there (wink, wink).

    I don't have any Henckels wedges. Just a few Kampfe's so I have to make do. The case is very nice. It fits the razor perfectly.

    Rather than change rotations today I went for a hassle free Shave.Despite having Two days growth the Shave was comfortable with a decent enough finish.

    MMMonday, Jan 17th, 2022, ASRazor shave this morning.

    Razor: Everready streamline 2nd generation- Mfg in Great Britain 1949-53, upper mid range, Just eye candy for a ASR razor IMO. Built to last, heavy duty base plate, great handle. You can receive excellent shaves once you dial the streamliner in, took a while but lately I have been cranking out nice shaves for well over a year. Not a recommended razor for a newbie until you learn how to use other ASRazors IMO to fully enjoy it's shaving capability. I like to use this razor when blade count is higher also, just a smoother shave for myself it seems.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap: Speick stick, excellent triple milled soap, nice mild spicy scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi mountain lake handle, 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, perfect scrub, great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
    Result: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG]excellent shave with my ER streamline with a Gem coated blade.
    (It don't get much better than this!)

    Awesome shave this morning with the Schick B. The results are as close to BBS as I get without paying for it with lots of blood.
