What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Japanese smiling YSS Triumph 6/8

 

The Jemgro razor made from the finest silver steel, clad in snakewood scales

 

Johan Engstrom frameback
Soap Commander
homemade brush/Semogue 2 band knot

I really enjoy using older framebacks. Very nice shave today. Have a good Thanksgiving.

 

Tiger Special 88

​

 

Friedr. Herder A.S #9

 

4/8 J.Rodgers & Sons
Green Mountain
homemade/unknown synthetic knot

I was messing with a bunch of synthetic knots when I injured my head, I have no clue what knot this is and I can't remember. The J.R. is without a doubt my best shaving small razor and has ivory scales to boot, another razor that should see more usage. Have a good one.

 

That knot looks a lot like the ubersoft 2...from envy shave on Etsy.

 

Beautiful blade

 

Sotd


New puck of proraso red in mug
Birdseye maple 24mm brush silvertip badger knot
Goldedge SR honed on 12k super stone 20x

Clubman original

Love my new stones. Think I'm going to be able to put an edge on some of the other SR s that I have socked away.
2 days growth and success. Nice BBS shave to start my work week

 

Jean a Paris,
Of my Near wedges this is one of my favorites.

 

You always have interesting accoutrements to go with your shave that I have never seen before

 

6/8 DD
Cade
homemade synthetic/knot unknown

I think I remember which knot this is because I tried to give it as much legs (loft) as I could. I find this knot to feel a bit like a very soft tennis ball and this o.k. to a point but IMO, it needs to break and open on the face. It's a little reluctant to give it up but we'll see if a little abuse will take care of it. Very close shave this morning but not the most comfortable. Have a good one.

Another Duck for today…super-mentholated shave with m-bombed MdC lather and stinging, cold 'Snake Bite' finish...

 

today I used;
Wade& Butcher 5/8 full hollow. it's marked Sheffield, so I reckon it's an old guy. it's thick along the back for sure.
it did nicely for the passes, but I got greedy for an A+ shave, so I did a pass with yesterday's fatboy.I needed a bit of help on my right side neck and just a little on the point of my chin.
end result, great shave.

 

Michael Waterhouse 8/8 for Barbers
Kanayama Cordovan #8000
Shavemac TSR LE Silvertip two band

Tuckmar 13/16 freshly honed on Naniwa 1k pro series, Naniwa 5k, Naniwa 8K, Naniwa 12k, Apache Strata w/surry then plain water. It gave me as good a shave as I have ever experienced.
Castle Forbes Lime - awesome crème

This razor deserves new shoes and a polish job ( holyrollah)
