What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

My shave of the day 5/8 shulze945 part of a everyday razor box
poraso green soap
Generic boar brush
Taconic organic aftershave

 

6/8 Double Duck
TOBS Sandalwood Soap
Mondial boar

Nice shave this morning. First use of the Mondial boar it's listed as 25mm x 60mm loft. I did an overnight soak in the fridge. The brush performed fine in the lather making dept. I found this brush very soft and lacking in backbone. I'm pretty fussy about my boar brushes so this one won't make the cut. That's o.k., I was kinda expecting it with the dimensions listed. So I'll either use it as it is for a couple of shaves or I'll have the knot out of it within ten minutes of you reading this. I'd bet on the latter. Please understand, I'm not bad mouthing the brush. The next person might love it but it doesn't do it for me.

 

Nice razor! I like my brushes to have significant backbone, so I’m onboard for swapping the knot.

 

Brought out one the best for a new soap sample. Really good Saturday shave with one of my favorite razors.

 

Today's shave was with an American Made razor. I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, with near BBS results, without touch-ups. Incredibly smooth edge. The Arkansas Surgical Black stone, works wonders with this razor.

Razor- "Perfection" Warranted, By Swank H.W. Co.
Brush- JR#262. Birdseye Maple/Ebony.
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Viking Horn Decanter.

 

Traveling early tomorrow so I shaved this afternoon. I had less than the normal 2 or 3 days of stubble and it was no match for my trusty W&B.

It sound like the kind of knot I enjoy, I do not like a lot of backbone. You can always toss the knot in an envelope and give it a new home

I am feeling a lot of love for this razor since it arrived in my den.
