What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Thank you Steve! If I was smart, I would mute it… but so far, no bites.

 

Today was a break from my usual every other day routine. Whether it was the lesser stubble or just the blade, I don’t know, but I do know that this near wedge Sheffield from one of my favorite makers provided a super, super smooth shave

Hi Hans. Great looking razor. I have never heard of the term half wedge.. Is it the same as a near wedge or a 1/4 hollow?

 

Well, same child have many names . In Sweden it’s often described as half wedge = not completely wedge and not hollow…

Shell 72 Silver Steel, soap and AS were Floris Elite and a SOC did the lathering.

I’ve been admiring Blair’s curly scales and have some pretty California Bastogne walnut that will soon be on razors and maybe a brush handle or two. The pictures really don’t do them justice.

 

Da Comrades, glorious Russian steel for me this morning and face now glorious
