    Odd (for me) shave this morning. Second shave with a Rapira LUX and I had to do way more touching up than normal. Usually it's 2 passes and very minor touch ups. I rotate blades weekly and have had no issues with Rapira blades in the past although they are my least favorite. May have to take them out of my rotation. The other blades in my rotation are; Astra SP, Personna red, Gillette Nacet and Gillette 7 O'Clock green. I consistantly get 7 DFS to BBS shaves with each in either of my two razors (Fatip Grande & RR German 37 slant). Possible bad blade I guess.

    Soap: Proraso White
    Brush: Omega 10086 black handle
    Razor: Fatip Grande
    Blade: Rapira LUX (2)
    Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

    Once in a while I break out the EJ and am reminded how smooth and incredibly mild this razor is. It was a nice way to begin the week!

    Happy Monday!

    Image.jpeg Test shave today with Tom’s Igor adjustable single edge razor. I think I had a problem with how I loaded the blade but the end result was super close, super smooth - right up there with the Bunny, PAL Injecto-Matic, and Hussy. :happy036:
