What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

I have been busy so I am posting 2 shaves:
W&B near wedge
PRC custom Damascus

 

I only use SRs on the weekends and I have yet to get a BBS shave with just the SR. I love using the SR and I don't mind the extra passes with my evahs to chase the smooth results I desire. One day the DE won't be needed, but for now this combo worked really well

First time out with the Filarmonica tonight and she was fine. A very nice balance of smooth and sharp. Granted she worked with 36 instead of 48 hours of stubble so the first pass was a little misleading but the alum told the tale at the end. Really close shave and mild noise from the Osma. I'm liking this Filly.

I am normally use a db when at work, but this weekend i brought two straights that i had honed and needed to testshave.did a full hone on the GD and a touch upp on the TI.both gave a close and comfy shave.

 

George Wostenholm & Sons 'Celebrated IXL' 6/8" French-point.

 

That Thiers Issard sure is a beauty.

 

Thank you

 

I used my Henry Sears and Sons today and it was a wonderful two pass shave! There's quite a bit of audible feedback from this razor. The Chiseled Face gave me a nice lather and the Aqua Velva musk topped it all off.

Vulfix 2 band Super badger

First time user of C&C products and with little effort it whipped up a nice yogurty and slick lather. Wonderful pre and post shave slickness and protection. I was unsure if I would the scent, but the scent is way better upon lathering and post shave.

Tonight's shave was with a Vintage Dovo. I had a very nice two pass shave, without the need for touchups. No issues, just smooth results. Very nice razor.

How was the PRC razor? it looks nice

 

Very nice factory edge. I am pleased.

 

Third shave with this Challenge 6/8 after honing. Smooth comfortable shave. Much better than the last shave with my other square tip. I'm still sporting a nice scab
