Greetings
Saturday 22nd October 2016
Prep: Shower
Razor: L'Essor
Blade: W. Aellig Rapide
Brush: Muhle XL Synthetic
Soap: Wilkinson Sword Stick
Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
EDT: Boucheron Jaipur Homme
I was getting extremely close but very rough shaves from this blade in my Ernst Scharff Rapide, (the razor to which this blade belongs) in this razor it produces a delightful smooth forgiving close shave. This tends to evidence what I suspected that the original Rapides are not by a long way a gentle or 'friendly' razor!
Regards
Dick.
