So You Want A Ralf Aust

Well you can't have mine!

This morning was my first shave with a Ralf Aust. All I can say is WOW!

I received this SR a few days ago while I was away on business. Last night I tested the edge. As received, it tree-toped but not quite to my desired standard so I put it through a full diamond pasted balsa strop progression.

I don't believe that a SR can get any better than this. I will stick with my Ralf Aust for the next three shaves to get to know it more intimately before shaving again with me Revisor 6-0035 to compare.

My Ralf Aust is my first SR with an American (square) point. I let my concentration laps just a little and the blade let me know with just the slightest of a nick near my ear. It is not the fault of the razor. I am use to shaving with few pointy and sharp Spanish points. Maybe I was a little over confident.

I seem to recall a long time ago......a certain refined Gent informing about "doesn't bet any better."

glad your branching out and exploring!!!!
