Saturday Straights' Shave Cold Water Wash Proraso Sandalwood Jayaruh #353 Weck Sextoblade Med Personna CWR Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #353 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Un Named Shavette razor with a Stainless 77 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I got this razor from Flori, a fellow shaver in Albania. Read about it here: https://jrshaving.blogspot.com/2019/02/shavette-from-albania.html
Joseph Rodgers 13/16 that I honed yesterday, soap was MdC fougere lathered with a TOBS silvertip. A splash of Myrsol Agua Balsamica complimented the fougere nicely. The razor shaves like a dream, a ‘whisker squeegee’. Cheers, Steve
5/8 Russian MWF homemade brush with a 26mm Hawk fan synthetic Myrsol Balsamica It'd be hard to get a nicer shave. I think my black arkie is finally there. Have a good one.
I've been anxious to post this one. This is today's shave with both the brush today on the left and the one from yesterday on the right. They are special gifts from a member on another site. The soap is a great PIF from shave/brush. My wife loves the sent, and the performance is excellent, so it will be a regular for me. The razor is from Glen at Gemstar. It is my second razor and the first that is professionally honed. I am absolutely hooked on Straights. I had an excellent shave without nicks. Sent from my DROID Turbo using Tapatalk
Star-Raito Staraet 55 Box, paper, minimal wear... don’t think it had seen much mileage. Only used it a few times and very enjoyable. Enjoy your shave. Tom

Is that a 45? I haven't seen one in years. The last record player I owned was more than ten years ago. Sent from my DROID Turbo using Tapatalk
Oh, that's embarrassing. I guess I need to look closer at the picture.... ha ha ha. I have heard great things about Barrister and Mann, but have yet to try it. I need to get through some soaps first. Sent from my DROID Turbo using Tapatalk
5/8 + Japanese Frameback Towa Gen Takahashi Toroku Had a super close shave with this piece of Japanese Shaving history .Wonderful steel that took a very smooth and keen edge . Was inspired by Test Depth's Japanese Frameback post earlier in the week .
Thank you. I Really find the shape appealing. The heel is somewhat interesting. I can’t see anything on this razor that would lead me to think it isn’t factory, but I have seen this 55 model both like this and with a full heel. The Japanese frameback is such a nice shaver... Nice razor Mike! I also love that you can normally find them for a deal. Mine was a whopping $8 - though I don’t know who made mine .
History. That is one of the biggest draws to straight razor shaving. Beautiful razor. Sent from my DROID Turbo using Tapatalk
