I used my Engstrom frameback this morning. After 2 1/2 passes (chin and upper lip get the 1/2 pass), I had a real DFS! Happy Father's Day!
What a great name for a razor, what a great name for a razor, Tyler. Can cover to cover King Cutter. Plus it looks cool.

I'm so jealous of you guys. I wish I had a little more time on weekday mornings so I could use my straight razors. I only get to enjoy them on the weekends and days off from work. Well, at least I can enjoy seeing all of your razors here!
I used a 4/8 Torrey today. My second straight shave ever. I did two WTG passes on my cheeks and one on my neck.
I have seen some razors with curved blades like that - does it really make any difference, or was this just marketing?
On most of my razors, I do angled passes that are the equivalent of doing a Gillette Slide on my neck, chin, and jawline. The curve in the razor makes those easier to do. This razor has lost it's smile and been honed to a straight edge. I imagine a smiler would work well, but they are harder to make and maintain.
