Williams Wednesday
Pre: Shower
Brush: Razorock 400 Syn
Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor: Henckels Rapide
Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (5)
Post shave: Cold water splash, TC's Infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Williams Aqua Velva
Williams Wednesday with the Henckels Rapide.
Today i used a spine of a de-spined GEM to Shim the back of the blade to try to emulate the original wedge, it seemed to work pretty well , i may try 2 shims next time.
Only 2 passes today for a DFS result, the Rapide is not a razor you go chasing a BBS finish with a buffing pass, saying that it leaves me smiling ear to ear. The Williams soap face lathered well although i did load the RR400 synth for a bit extra time and I had plenty for the shave in the brush
A nice post shave finishing with the Aqua Velva.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
Update,
My 3 pucks of Hampshire Wool Fat arrived today along with the Vintage Pewter dish, the pucks fit exactly into the Patum Peperium dish i bought for it. The Pewter dish is Oval but will still work for soap.
