What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

They’re very nice Hans!

 

Hey Hans, how’s the new puppy doing? I bet that he is twice the size as the last image!

 

Hi Steve, he is now 12 weeks old and he is doing well. A little Enegic package that takes out the patience on his older brother’s. Now he weights 1.100g or 2.43 pounds.

Wednesday morning shave, the newly acquired Kayser Ellison, just checked the edge with a magnifying glass. Looked good so I just stropped it. It works but needs some honing on higher grits.

Last night used my trusty GD-208 (modded), Semogue 1305 brush,and Fine Accoutrements Italian Citrus soap (old formula) and after shave decanted into NOS Seaforth! bottles and mug. Two and a half passes with two handed Fools Pass under the nose:



Then off to Tango class to wrestle with the Russian ladies!

 

Shepherd Cast Steel, it’s quite fun shaving with a razor that’s pushing 250 years old. This is not the same Shepherd that used the ‘Wolf’ branding according to Joan Unwin. The original blonde horn scales were masterfully restored by Outback Mike over at the ‘Palace’.

Lovely razor, Tom! You have an amazing collection!

 

Gorgeous stubbie, Steve! I always learn from your posts! Thanks!

 

Lovely razor, Hans!

 

Thank you Jeff!

A Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero is always a good choice. Soap was MdC agrumes lathered with a pre-collaboration M&F 1/3 Finest, and a splash of Myrsol Limon finished up a perfect summer shave.

 

Thank you Jeff! I enjoy the eye candy in this thread… and that Bluesman razor is a true work of art.

 

Thanks Jeff!

I'm loving this Filarmonica 14, restoration razor, mailed from Morocco. It was a complete dog, but now it is a favorite. Each shave just gets better and better. I had a perfect 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. zero issues, just an Uber-Sharp, and smooth shave.

Razor- Filarmonica 14 "Doble Temple". Spain.
Brush- @jtspartan special . Boar knot.
Soap- TABAC
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Filly 14s are great shaving razors Scott.

 

Also used today. Remarkable good edge on this razor.

6/8 Brookes and Crookes, one of Sheffield’s better efforts I think. AdP served up some warm weather scent although it’s good all year round.

 

1st half of a Sheffield gentleman’s set
Brush: Simpson “The Duke” 3
Suds: T&H Grafton

I delayed way to long in getting these into the rotation. It felt like a true occasion on a Thursday evening using this setup.

Now knowing what it truly is… that will take some luck, as this is all I got:

And I have no intention of unpinning to see if there is anything useful under there.
Enjoy your shave.
Tom
