My second go with the Model 2, tried an injector size blade this time and it's still quite a lot more aggressive than the M3 with a lot more blade feel.
My skin is smooth but slightly uncomfortable.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Razor Ikon w/Merkur OC w/Rapira
Brush Simpsons Tulip 1
Soap Cella

Continuing on the theme of as simple as possible, with as few products as possible. Using the same small collection of brushes and soaps I know inside out is (hopefully) allowing me to judge the different blades I have as well as possible. Second day on this Rapira seems somewhat nicer than the first, if anything its a little sharper...
