What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Boker 7/8 wedge

 

Clauss 5/8 full hollow round end

 

Calio Trapani stamped on one side and Bohler Stahl on the other 6/8 restored by Holyrollah - I love this razor, Kevin did his own thing and it is exactly what I wanted. He did a beautiful job
Le Pere Lucien
Floid Blue
Brushcraft handle by Chris Trimble in Brazilian rosewood & imitation ivory that I put my own knot in - a Franks Shaving 28 mm silvertip. It is fast becoming my fav brush

 

glad to see you're enjoying the razor, Lou! You're taking some lovely shots with that new camera!

My restored '$20 antique store find' big Wostenholm— one of the better razors I've truly enjoyed using!

 

Congrats on such a sweet-looking razor, and I absolutely love those scales and pins. Absolutely gorgeous!

 

For my own shave today, I used this hefty 8/8", half hollow grind classic blade from Koraat in Austria:

 

Eiko YSK-2 Yasuki steel full hollow 13/16
Kanayama Cordovan #8000
Thater 4125/2 Finest Silvertip two band
Catie's Bubbles Fouet L'Orange
L'Occitane Cedre & Oranger balm
L'Occitane Cedre & Oranger Edt

still no pics on my side

 

Thanks David!
I have to get this sorted, the pleasure is all in the pics.. I assume it has to do with privacy/visibility settings on my image host.

Edit: Have changed just now and uploaded through Tapatalk, it seems to be working as I can now see all the pics I've posted since yesterday.

 

Hess 44 Syainless three pin, cracked Ice scales
Le Pere Lucien
Soap Commander Love balm
Brushcraft handle w/FS 24mm knot
super nice shave
a little oil on the blade, actually it is NOS to me

 

Another beauty! That Hess is really something, Lou!

Big near-wedgy Wosty today!

 

Jeez, that brush kills me every time I see it...


And the Hess is pretty sweet too. But that brush...

 

I agree—and I'm not the sort who ever goes gaga over shave brushes.
But that handle and knot does make a lovely combo!

 

Well, before becoming a regular on TSD I had one boar and a Thater silvertip. After seeing all the beautiful brushes I now have about 7 boars and 12 badgers lol

 

Don't know if I've ever posted this one, it's my "special occasion" brush. Ebony and brass by Walleyeman:

 

very nice Mike

 

SOTD 09/08/15

Dubl Duck Goldedge round point
Proraso red soap in old spice
Shulton mug
Simpson special S1 best badger brush

Started great this morning. Had strop cleaned and conditioned ready for the day's use. Was finally able to get the soap out of the plastic container and put in the mug. All was good, then..I nicked the blade. A little tape, and a few passes on the Arkansas stones, 20 passes on web and leather and crisis avoided. BBS shave. Success

 

Very cool brush!
And nice washer/dryer unit!
(See reflection)

 

Yeah, if you zoom in you can see the stupid expression of my face. Like Charlie Brown concentrating on something difficult, tongue on upper lip, etc...


BTW Kevin, it seems my tracking data says you have not only a package in the mail, but more importantly, an impending date with destiny.

Veni, Vidi, Vici, ala Livi!

 

I am soooooo looking forward to trying it out...with only mild trepidation!

I've extra gauze, plasma and tourniquets on hand for peace of mind.
