What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

I used my Genco vanadium razor this morning. It was the maiden voyage for my newly acquired @Jayaruh 221 brush.

Wonderful shave and wonderful brush. Every day should start this good.

 

That setup looks awesome, love the brush!

Colombia Cutlery Worcester MA 5/8 I honed this razor on Sharpton Glass up to 16K.Than Finished on a Dan's Surgical Black.Edge came our Super Keen and mostly smooth .Dolphin Smooth in two passes.

 

Tonight's shave was an absolute pleasure, with one of my "Top Shelf Shavers". I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues, just awesome smoothness.

Nice hot shave outside at dusk in Theodore Roosevelt national park in ND. Shaving outside with a small mirror and a bowl of hot water adds a whole new dimension to a str8 shave

Currently my one and only straight my Frederick Reynolds.

Acceptable but not as smooth as I would like. Good news is not nicks or cuts but still struggling with the left hand and angles.

Nice shave, I've gotta dig out my Arko some time. It's mashed in a sugar bowl in the back of my shaving cabinet, forgotten and neglected. Shave soap abuse, I should be reported...

Another shave with the W&B. Good thing I took the Swaty along Several ultra light passes on the be; brought the edge back to life.
I used Proraso green, followed by Barbasol brisk as. When I walked out in the 35 deg SD air, talk about face freeze All in a good way

Thank you Billy!

 

Always happy to see this one come around in the rotation!
Another 'favorite,' this old Greaves & Sons stub tail feels so different due to its long, heavy blade and grind. Killer-sharp edge. Just a fun old razor to shave with!
