What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

That sucks

 

Seller's remorse—before the sale! Guy decided he couldn't part with it after we agreed upon a price.
Oh well… it happens.

 

Ok Kevin don't tease. What was it? Don't give up any intel if you shouldn't, but...the curiosity...

 

Would you believe….an ODH…in black. and with a 6/8" blade (my preferred blade size….)?
Similar to this:

 

Oh, my...was it a rescale? I mean, one of the things I love about the ODH is the beautiful green scales, but THAT is unique...Nd I'm with you, 6/8-13/16th's = blade width perfection.

 

Nah, they were probably the SAME dark emerald green —but his photos and description said 'black.' He was adamant they were black. I assumed he was mistaken in his description. He also kept referring to the razor as the 'Otto Deutsch Deutsch' per the scale inlay…. but needless to say, I won't be buying anything from him in there future….

 

Lol, like a Urahm Uplex...

I'm still not back a 100% since my head injury but pretty close.My memory has improved a great deal but I have a short fuse and some nasty head aches which isn't normal for me. Shaving wise, I've been living a monastic life. Just a couple of razors and a couple of soaps and brushes. I'll be back on a more regular basis. Have a good day!

Day 6 of 7-day Mastro Livi Test Drive
Winding up the seven day trial tomorrow so today's shave is the next-to-last opportunity using this fine razor.
After the standard 30 or so laps on smooth leather, I had another smooth 3-pass shave! The MWF lather isn't quite as slick as the L'Occitane Cade soap I've used the previous two days, and I can definitely feel the blade's edge more. No irritation, though, and best of all, no blood-letting. Just a fine shaving experience! Great razor!
