What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Lou It's great soap I'm a big fan after you introduced me by kindly sending me more than a few jars, you know I love the Le Terre Verte and Fouet L'Orange, but I'm really liking the Midnight Dreary and the Celtic Knot top shelf performance plus lovely scents.

 

Didn't know if you would like the Celtic but I sent it because it seemed fitting. The Midnight Dreary is a top performer for sure. My all time favorite though is the Jar Din De or

 

Maiden voyage for this vintage razor—by me, or for that matter, anyone else! It took a very nice edge off the hones; smooth & noisy (big full-hollow) shaver! I can tell this Leader is going to be a regular part of my mornings.

 

Nice

 

Happy Happy for you kevin, you are going to cherish this one

 

WOWZER! That's a beauty Kevin! Nice score!

 

Henry sears and sons 5/8" round point. Smooth shave. Less pressure on ATG neck pass made a huge difference.

 

Wade & Butcher 7/8 barber notch.

 

You know what this post needs...!

 

I thought you were going to say...

 

Clauss 6/8 + U.S.M.C. - 2nd day using this one and will continue to use it all week. Mind blowing shave today again
Castle Forbes Lavendar with RR Mudder Focker - outstanding ubelather. Castle Forbes is the best crème ever. I like DR Harris too but CF is a step above all cremes
Floid Black Label
FS 28 mm finest badger in extra density - softer than my silvertips ( not pictured)
My new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 camera is unreal. It shows every little flaw and they are totally invisble to the naked eye

Just realized this razor had been rescaled. I have two of the Spike razors, and that is not the same one at all! Glad you are getting a good shave with it.

 

Yep, 'Union Cutlery' made the SPIKES—and you'll not find many round point 'spike' razors.

 

I asked a question on your etsy page about screws ( FYI_

Last day with Henry sears and sons. It, along with a few others needs a little refreshing. When the stones come in, time to take the next step in my straight shaving obsession.
