Just started shaving with a straight razor last December. This is my collection so far and I shave with all of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Tonight's shave was with an old Philadelphia made razor. I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, no touch-ups, that left me BBS. Zero issues. This is one sweeet shaving razor. I like the way these old Cast steel razors feel on the face. Razor- A.B.Shipley & Son, Philadelphia. Half Hollow Ground, Cast steel. Brush- Stirling Boar Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Aftershave- Avon Deep Woods.
I guess I'm going to have to dig that one out, and give it another go. The last shave I had with mine was less that satisfactory, probably because I was rushed, and didn't properly prep.
Thanks! I caught on quickly what blades to look at. Bunch of dubl ducks, Carl Monkhouse, real red point, Case red imp, etc. I love every aspect of it too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brush- B400 By Tom( @twhite ) Boar hair knot, by Whipped Dog. Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice.
