Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Tom's B-3 Badger Brush
J.A. Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Razor with a Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I almost bought a Henckels the other day, how well do they work with a GEM blade, the stops seem kinda small.

Great setup Jim. I know I love me Rapide.

They catch the blade no problem as long as they aren't worn down. The Rapide is one heck of a razor. I don't use a wedge adapter in mine but one can be used.

Modern SE blade work fine, but I like using the Henckels wedge. twhite sharpened mine, and I have been able to keep it sharp by stropping.

Thank you. The one I was looking at didn't have any blades with it, and I would probably only use the GEMs anyway, I'll know next time! ?
