Rick, I find my Rapira to shave significantly closer than my Merkur 23C, even when I use a Feather blade in the Merkur. The Rapira is an outstanding value !
Darn you, Rick! Another razor that is so friendly on the budget it's worth keeping an eye on. I have seen that razor go on sale frequently on Italianbarber, so there is plenty of opportunity. Great shave! 👊😁
