What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

6/8 Japanese National
Had a fantastic shave with this blade.Just refreshed her on my Charnley Forest .

 

Thank you. It’s a synthetic.

 

Koraat

 

I’ve been on a Stirling citrus kick. Yesterday’s shave was with a 13/16 Le Jaguar and Stirling coconut lime lathered with a Simpsons PJ3 Super. Today’s shave was with a Gauthier Pont St Esprit French rattler, ~13/16 and Stirling grapefruit lathered with a Simpsons 59. Lucky Tiger’s brief orange scent complimented the soap’s scents. Happy New Year’s Eve gentlemen.

 

I like this razor but I want to like it more. Normally I have new razors honed by Glen @gssixgun but this one was honed well from the seller. I have another from him. Shaves well but I tend to like my blades sharper than most. It left me feeling not quite smooth enough but an hour later it seems to be a closer shave than what I recall.

Thank you all for your inspiration, and may the Good Lord bless each of you richly this year!

 

this is my G Baker and Sons. Not fancy but shave nice.

 

Replaced a picket fence today and way to tired to use a SR. Had to go slumming with a Toggle. A wanted to say Happy New Year to all my brothers in the dark side

 

Last shave of the year. I had an absolutely buttery smooth, 2 pass shave, that resulted in a DFS. Not touch ups. Excellent Razor. Dang sharp, and even buttery smooth ATG.

Razor- J.H.Obold & Co. Made in Germany.
Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Pinaud Lime Sec.

I just got it today! I shaved with it and it was really nice. Here is a picture of it with my Semogue OC Finest Badger.

 

Thank you Tim. Have a Happy New Year! Always a pleasure to tune in and see your lineup.

 

This Silverloaf 7/8 with a smiling 3/4 grind arrived on the 31st, just in time for my Jan 1 shave.

Happy New Year!

 

You can't brag about it unless you show pics. Lol!

 

First shave of the new year. Couple days of growth turned into dolphin skin with the Tennis “Facharbeit” 5/8.

 

First shave of 2019 and it’s all downhill from here - lol. Heljestrand 7/8 Mk 144 in ivory, I Coloniali Mango Oil lathered with a Tulip 2, and a splash of Thayers Rose Petal toner followed by I Coloniali Rhubarb ASB after dry down.

I hope everyone has great shaves this year!

Cheers, Steve
