What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Nice razor. I know what I'm going to use tomorrow

 

Thanks. It looks almost NOS, so it's not really my cup of tea. Too pretty. If I were to thin out the heard, one of these few NOS looking razors would be the first to go.

 

Hart Steel 7/8

 

Challenge Cutlery. The edge has dulled slightly, but still ended with a very smooth finish. I'll touch this one up on the 3 then 1 micron lapping film.

 

I have some beater razors I'll trade you for it

 

I'm kind of digging that "Art Razor LeChef" beater razor of yours.

 

So am I!

 

Big-bladed 'Leader' from F. W. Engels. Purdy....and sharp!

Wow! What a fantastic shave I had this morning. I love everything about this soap; the scent is amazing, kind of a spicy floral, it's very slick once the water is dialed in (slightly thirsty) and has a great post shave feel. The 30DC brush did a great job lathering up this incredible soap and the Chimera slid through a couple days of growth. Have a great day folks!

 

Today's shave was with a German NOS razor, I rarely use. It takes a wickedly sharp edge, and provided a 2 pass BBS shave. No Nicks, Cuts, or Weepers.

This Gold Dollar 100 continues to provide me with smooth, close 2 & 3 pass shaves. Yesterday was no different.

PRE-SHAVE: White Birch & Tobacco Shave Butter - this has a very pleasant aroma with a nice, mild menthol chill
