What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Nice shave this morning. I tried a new soap today. Very nice scent, lathered well and provided a good close protective shave. To me, the scent is too complex to describe other than it's very nice. I'll add that it's a hard soap and triple milled. Have a good one.

 

Sweet!

Where do you find so many razors?

 

Clauss 13/16 USMC - it never shaved as good as I wanted until I used the Apache Strata on it. It is now on the money
Soap - WSP Rustic fourgere with DR Harris Arlington crème - Oh my what a combo
Floid Vigoroso

 

Razor heaven.

Shave was done on 1/12/15 (Monday)

This was a lousy shave as far as comfort AOS soap just didn't cut it, as far as comfort a lot of razor burn and bumps... CNCS shave no cuts or nicks.

3 pass shave DFS very smooth shave today no cuts or nicks. The Razor emporium shave soap gave me plenty of cushion and slickness.

 

So how does one get into razor heaven?

 

Watch and pray you get there first. I just have watched the buy/sell/trade on various forums at least twice daily, scanned ebay, PM'd people who had razors I liked, found old postings where the razor didn't sell, made a contact with someone in Japan and lucked out a few times at antique stores.

My ebay $13 steal….
I've enjoyed this razor so much I've picked up another UC 'Spike' with a slightly rounded (and safer) tip.

Nice shave this morning. Enjoyed the QED Vetiver, first time with QED. Have a good one.

 

6/8 Friodur

Nice shave this morning but I feel this blade has a little more to offer so a tweak will be in order. My shaves have been so close I really don't need to shave every day but I'm having no irritation so I do simply because I enjoy it so much. Maybe one pass shaves are the solution. Have a good one.

 

The ol' Chevalier today!

 

Where have you been?

 

Went to poop and the hogs almost got me!

Work is crazy at the end of the year, still playing catch up. The only good thing is as jobs close out, the checks come in! More shave goodies on the horizon...

 

Nice to see you again.

 

Glad you're back, Mike!
