That Stropper look like it will load the same as all of the Ever Ready and Autostrop.

That is way too many blades. I would be glad to adopt one from you. I love those Henckels Rapide razors.

That Stropper look like it will load the same as all of the Ever Ready and Autostrop. Ok, found some pics of Ever Ready and Autostrop to look at. If the Henckels strop mechanism works similar, the flat metal piece with the Henckels twin logo and GERMANY impressed must be a handle. I guess one would attach one end of the leather to a hook like a normal strop, hold the other end in one hand, grab the metal handle with the other hand and run the mechanism with wedge blade inserted up and down the strop similar to how one would use an Ever Ready Automatic Stropper or an Autostrop. This is a different operation than the Heljestrand Magnus stropper where the metal mechanism is attached to a hook and the two leather strop ends are alternatively pulled to strop the blade. Ultimately the same result. Now I just need to find a piece of leather to fit. The Wilkinson strops leathers I have are either too wide or not in good enough condition and I don't have an Ever Ready or Autostrop. Maybe I can cut a piece of leather to fit.

I've got two nearly identical sets as you and opted to used the Heljestrand stropper. It just seemed much simpler and can accommodate any of the wedge blades. Plus the leather was in much better condition than the Henckels leather.

I’m doing the same. I’d just like to have a sort of complete Rapide set if I can find or make a strop.
