What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Love how this razor shaves .The razor was just refreshed on a J-Nat .
Its steel takes an incredible edge.I love the thumb notch .It adds another level to the razor ergonomics .

I love how Wester Bros. Straight shave .Wester Bros 5/8th was my first straight and that is what I learned on .Truly an underrated manufacture . Love the feedback while shaving from a Wester .

My two favorite hobbies. Straight Razor Shaving and Audiophile Vinyl Vintage Jazz.
Oscar Peterson's Night Train on original Vinyl via McIntosh MA5200 amplifier and Klipsch R28-F speakers
and
Cut Throat Gents Razor via Proraso Green and Omega XL Boar Brush

 

Challenge Cutlery 6/8. Touched up on the Swaty and this old fella gave up a comfortable, smooth three pass shave which ended up dolphin smooth

 

Cant go wrong there! I love the sound of hi-end quality vinyl! I just wish I had more time to devote to it.

 

I haven't posted about daily shaves, over the past 10 days. things have been chaotic, and I haven't had time to use the straights. I am now able to take my time and enjoy the shaves.

The past 10 days.
Very smooth shaves, but it takes 3 passes to equal 2 with a straight. Zero nicks or Cuts.

Razor- Gillette Fatboy
Blade- Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellows
Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain

Tonight's shave was with an extremely sharp Wade & Butcher. Buttery smooth 2 pass shave, without issues. A Joy to use.

Nice to have you back with us, Scott. You hang tough, buddy. The rest of America is standing with you.

 

After using something other than a straight or even a shavette due to circumstances is ok, but using a straight or shavette because you can is pure joy

First shave with newly-restored & honed Greaves 7/8"

 

Fresh off the hone .Razor took an incredible edge .Keen but with some smoothness.I have not used a Japanese Razor in over a month .The shave was effortless .Blade worked extremely well against the grain and in the chin area .Dolphin smooth in three passes .Probably my closest shave in a while .Time to break out the Japanese storage queens.

Dulled this one up and sharlened on my new JNAT. Shave was comfortable until I ran over a small injury on my cheek i'd forgotten about. That was a little rough, but not the razors fault. Same GD66 been shaving with for about a week now.

What brand razor is it??

 

Sorry GD66. Running a test on my honing skills. I wanna see how long it stays shave ready. .

 

Looks like you ground the shoulders on the GD, or did it come that way?

 

I thought so, but needed verification. They are great razors, after the rear blade stabilizers are modified.

 

Tonight's shave was with a chunky Full Hollow Ground Japanese Razor. I had a very nice 2 pass shave, with near BBS results. Zero issues.

Razor- Japanese "Harthy".
