J.A. Henckels Rapide SE

At Chappy's request, here are some more shots of my Rapide -  originally supplied with a wedge blade and stropper, I use it only with the modern GEM SS blades.  Never could get those old wedge blades sharp enough to suit ..

First the whole kit - no strop survived, I have another Rapide that was found with an Autostrop leather ..



The Rapide with original blade in place ..



The modern GEM blade I use to shave with ..



A shot of the back of the head with the wire blade clamp screwed up to hold the modern blade ..
