What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Brian Brown Razor Works

 

Tonight's shave was with a newly Acquired, newly Restored, and freshly Honed. I've always liked the looks of this style Crown and Sword, but they can be pricey. So, I obtained a project one, and restored it, as best I could, without loosing details on the blade. I had a wonderful 2 pass shave, that left me with a BBS face. Only one tiny weeper, I didn't feel. Now I know why these are snatched up so fast.

Razor- Crown and Sword. ERN. Wald Solingen. Made in Germany.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Telescope Decanter. Circa 1977-1983.

Today's shave was with a new one, for me. Straight from Transylvania, freshly restored, and honed. I had a great 2 pass shave, with BBS results. This is the 3rd Russian SR I own,each gives a fantastic shave, and each takes a super sharp edge. Excellent steel.
