What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Okina. A fantabulous Japanese shaver!

 

And to think I passed one of these up for $15 at an antique shop this past summer. Definitely a brain fart to the extreme

 

Ouch! Something else will come along.

Glad to soo you back.

Cashmere knot set @ 55mm

Nice shave this morning. I enjoyed the cashmere knot. IMO, very good feel and performance. Have a good one.

 

Hey Keith! Is that a new shaver, or is my memory actually that bad??

 

Tonight's shave was with a newly acquired, restored, and honed Sheffield made razor. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/wade-butcher-aka-snaggle-tooth.57763/ I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with BBS results. 1 pas would have been good for a DFS. Very nice, well built razor.

Razor- Wade & Butcher. 13/16th Sheffield Made. Horn Scales.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Aftershaves "Nectar Of The Gods".

 

That’s a beauty. How does that bad boy shave?

 

Challenge Cutlery 6/8. Appropriately named, as this was my second razor that I attempted to hone. It was definitely a challenge, but I finally got it the third round on the hones. It finally took a wonderful edge and has maintained that keen edge for months. Not a fancy razor by any means, but a wonderful shaver and one of my favorites. It sure did humble me on the hones though

 

It's a great feeling when one hones up nice, isn't it? Good job.

 

Cape Japanese Razor This bad boy received the Arkie treatment after being finished on my J-Nat.Killer edge .BBS in two and 1/2 passes.Just tried Wild West Shaving Soap.Super soap.Great cushion,very slick and builds lather very quickly.Stuff smells great .Thanks Kokak for your reviews of this soap in your shave diary .

 

Your memory is excellent, it is new and the first shave. Despite its huge size, it shaves wonderfully. It came with a very nice edge and I like the weight. For some reason I find it much easier to shave with a big heavy razor, they make it easy to apply very little pressure and are easier to control.

Today I used my recently honed ( TY @DaltonGang ) Joseph Rodgers Cutler to his Majesty
Jayurah 30DC brush
Stirling Executive Man Soap
Stirling Executive Man After Shave

Still getting used to straight razors and really struggle with angles using my left hand but overall an uneventful and comfortable close shave. I did somehow manage to nick myself yet again while not shaving but trying to figure out an angle and the blade slipped.

Sorry but I don't recall the blade size Im thinking it's around a 4/8.

You know you’ve taken straight razor shaving to the next level, when you know what razors each other owns Gee I can’t remember his name but he’s the one with the 7/8 Korat with the French point..........

 

Tonight's shave was with a newly acquired, freshly restored and honed Sheffield Wedge. I had a near silent 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Zero issues. I do like these old cast steel wedges.

Razor- Wade & Butcher, Near Wedge. Sheffield England.

Aftershave- Osage Rub. Brrrrr.
