I can't say good enough about Ralf Aust razors. My first SR years ago was a Hoffritz from a retail store many years ago.....I abused it, and gave up on SR shaving. It now lives with Lynn for a (honing) resurrection.
In the last two months I got a new Ralf Aust from SRD and it was a smooth shaver from the start. Have now ordered a 2d. Now that they are more available, I'd suggest everyone try one. They are crafted in a wonderful manner and are excellent shavers...and reasonably priced....not fancy, but great for everyday use!
