What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

WIP

 

I used two razors today. I am a little weird like that
Kropp Sheffield 6/8
Revisor with an Asian shaped spine, short blade
Le Pere Lucien with a dab of DR Harris Lavender
Floid Blue
just a damned fine shave today all the way around

 

Very nice, just looking at it makes me want to shave with it.

6/8 Gong
TOBS Sandalwood SS
homemade badger

This brush is very dense and a nasty shedder. Well, I'll keep combing and see which I run out of first, patience or hair. Coticule edge again and a very nice shave. Have a good one.

 

I used my Sheffield only
wade& butcher 5/8 full hollow,
three passes with the straight, cleanup with the hd.

 

Sum Extra 88

​

 

Wow dude, awesome spine work! Love the scrolls! Never really remember seeing a Sum, how's it shave?

 

5/8 Grelot Lotus
Sapone Di Paolo
homemade synthetic

Sapone Di Paolo is another good artisan soap, nice stuff. Very nice shave this morning. Have a good one.

It's a great shaver, if you watch out for that spike. It's only one I've seen. The shave was good, but the edge needs a touchup.

 

I want it

 

It's a possibility.

 

6/8 Nev-A-Hone
TOBS Coconut SC
homemade badger, 25mm Shavemac pure
I'm in the process of putting some new scales on this one (kinda ATOR style). I'll pin it and polish it when I get the chance. Nice shave today, have a good one. BTW, sounds like my shoulder is toast so I'm going to be limited as to what I can do for awhile.

 

Love the transparent scales, they photograph beautifully! Are you doing something similar with new scales?

Love getting older and wiser but the old saying " the mind is willing but the body is weak " starts to make sense!! I still attempt to accomplish things like I'm 18 but by the end of the day I pay the price! Lots of aches and pains but it beats sitting around waiting for the grim reaper! Lol!
They gonna try to fix you up ( surgery )? Best of luck to ya and my thoughts and prayers are with ya!

 

I recently acquired an old C-Mon Blackie. This morning I pulled it out. I used my jeans as a strop, and ran it on an Arkansas Hard stone to remove minor nicks. No pre- shave oil....Simpson best badger brush, A.O.S Lavender shave soap......

OMG. I love this razor. Last time I used a straight blade to shave was 20 years ago...Buck 105 hunting knife, dry shave...
I was thinking of getting a new razor, think I'll send this off, have horn scales replace the celluloid ones on it, have it honed and polished. I have found bliss.
It's not as close as my Muhle R89 DE, and I did have to use the DE for jaw line and chin line, but like I said, this is the first time I've used a straight blade in 20 years.

 

7/8 J E Bleckman " Progress"
soap - Caties Le Piment De La vie = the scent is right up my wheelhouse and it lathers so slick and smooth
AS - Floid Amber - all the Floids are awesome
Balm - Soap Commander " Love"
today was a super smooth and enjoyable shave

 

That is the most beautiful, like new, Dubl Duck I have ever seen! Wow!

 

I'm sure you would find it difficult to find a better example maybe one as good but I doubt if you could find a better Duck.

 

I'm thinking of putting blond horn scales on mine. Keeping same color just more sturdy

 

The scale in the photo are new just a little rough. They need to be pinned, a little more fine sanding then buffing.
