What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

That is a very cool idea for a kamisori set. Awesome blades!

 

Looks like I was typing in the quotes. I was just commenting

 

I just saw a picture of an NOS version of our Le Grelots... and those scales were amazing. Mine, on the other hand, suck. They even ground off one side of the pivot pin in preparation for removal... looks like I will get a chance to finish the job!

 

Manaslu M-55

 

This has been on my wish list for a while... the shape, the steel, even the colors. Excellent!

 

Thanks. You can't go wrong with any Japanese blade.

I did. I used them with the hands intended. It was a very nice shave.

 

I love the middle earth look. I guess since your razors are all packed you had no choice to but to buy them so you have something to shave with.

Great shave this morning. The razor was taken all the way back and finished on a Charnley Forest. The soap gave a great post shave feel which I need during the winter months. I spend to much time in the wind at subzero temps. The Spear is a Peter J.Michels razor (I think distributed by him, not necessarily made by him but I'm unsure). At any rate, whenever I see his name on a razor I'll pick it up. Seems like they make excellent shavers. Have a good one.
