What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

don't know a name, only has a anchor, told it was Birmingham England mfgd.. mine has a home, I like using it, feels like Sheffield steel smooth and buttery on the hones. I am planning on a new set of scales for it in honey horn before long.

 

5/8 T.I.

Nice shave this morning. I think I'm going to start looking for a T.I. larger than 6/8 but will have to clear some razors out first. Have a good one.

 

What makes T.I. so much better than the rest?

 

Nothing, I have quite a few razors that will shave with them but in their own right they're quality razors. Good razors are where you find them.

 

Oscar, I love the looks of your brush handle. the black and white one reminds me of one my dad used to have, I don't know where or how he came by it and never will now. his had a gold colored or brass band at the part where the brush and handle meet but it was about the same style handle. very nice brings back old memories.

 

My new straight razor: Puma 222 5/8" Silber



Comparing to my 7/8 Ralf Aust it's like a toy but also great shaver.

 

6/8 + Prior
TOBS Sandalwood

Nice shave today. Felt lousy all weekend, still a little under the weather but will go to work today.
Have a good one.

 

I was out of town at a 3 day shoot so I shaved with a DE on Saturday. Boy did that suck. Today was back to the straight and it was wonderful

The Clubman has gotten such an unexpectedly good unsolicited response from the young women at work, I had to wear it again today.​

 

Lindy - terll me about the B & M Rose?

 

Beautiful razor, Robert! Love the color of the scales….

 

Der Otto 'Hans' Deutsch…so smooooooooth!

 

J E Bleckman Progress 8/8 Italian market soingen - what a shaver, super smooth
Soap - Le Pere Lucien & St James crème - the best smelling and performing ubelather I have made to date
AS - La Toja splash

 

B&M sold this one for less than usual as they were not happy with the finished product. It is using their vegan version, Tre Citta, that usually gives me excellent protective lather. The rose scent is a little stronger than Klar Kabinett but not very strong. My first lathering was too frothy. The more soap I got on the brush the closer to the usual great lather. Next time I will use Marco's Method for lathering.

I love all the B&M soaps, expecially the Fougere ones.

 

6/8 T.I.
TOBS Sandalwood
homemade brush
Nice shave with a vintage T.I. this morning. The TOBS soap has nowhere near the potency (scent) of the cream which is a bit of a disappointment but performance is still good. Have a good one.

 

7/8 Friodur
Catie's Bubbles-Glace Herbe
homemade boar
Nice shave today. Glace Herbe (vetiver and menthol) is right in my wheelhouse. I really like this soap. Have a good one.

 

Feeling impish today...

 

J A Henkels 13/16 - love this one. It shaves so soft and smooth that you don't want to quit making passes
MWF w/Arko - not so good
AS - Floid Amber
