Finally got to shave with the Ralf Aust yesterday! I had been checking the edge under the loupe and comparing to my razors that I have been working on honing and found only 1 had a proper bevel set, so I cleaned that one up a bit. When I tilt the RA back and forth, there is no little white line at the very edge at any angle. With my other razors, they all looked good at some angles, but when I tilted the blades, they all had at least some of the edge showing the thin white line, meaning that the bevel isn't fully set. I used the Ralf Aust for the first N to S pass, then the other razor that had a good bevel set (Challenge Cutlery) for the S to N Pass. I tried using my G. Wostenholm Pipe on the neck since it has a smile, but the bevel wasn't fully set and didn't do much, so I went back to the Ralf Aust and that worked pretty well on my neck! What a difference a truly shave ready razor is to shave with than one that the bevel hasn't been set fully!
