My SOTW by far, worthy of 2 photos.
My favourite brush and favourite Signature soap produced a wonderfully scented slick lather, i then completed a full 3 pass shave with the Henckels wedge which seemed to shine on the more stubborn areas, i needed a little concentration under the nose and was rewarded for my time.
Yes, these old wedge blades are not as smooth as the new fangle blades we have today, yes, they take a little practice to get to the more difficult area under the nose and chin during the shave and yes, they give a brilliant shaving experience.
A nice post shave to finish off without any indication from the splash.
Result:-
DFS++, my fault. Just a tiny missed area on the bottom RH side of my chin, noticed during the post shave routine, i can live with that.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Very nice indeed. I prefer to use my Henckels wedge in my Henckels Rapide Razor, too. It is also fun to strop the blade.
