What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Brian Brown Razor Works

 

The Sprite shaves very nice. Reminds me of a Hart when they were at their pinnacle and still owned by the DuPonts. The length was easy to maneuver. I use shavettes also so had no issue with it being a shorty.

Sorry no pics but they are available on the website. They changed the design for the better with a tapered tang and wedge. You do not need to tape to hone since they grind them from thicker stock with the correct geometry. I was not expecting it as a gift and very pleasantly surprised

 

Today's shave was with a super sharp razor, made in Solingen. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, with BDBS results. Wonderfully made razor.

Razor- Zwillingswerks 50 1/2(J.A.Henckels), Solingen Germany.
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice

 

Thanks. I’ve always liked the looks of the Sprite. Maybe I’ll pick one up if I ever visit PRC on a business trip.

 

Maiden voyage with my Wacker ( now that has a weird ring to it). . A really nice well balanced shaver.

 

5/8 Double Duck Special No 1 Gave a great shave.

 

Gottlieb Hammesfahr 6/8 half hollow
CRSW Glide
Tuxedo knot in black walnut
Becker scuttle
Razorock alum
Dickinson witch hazel
Pinaud clubman

 

It's a looker as well.

 

Thanks, Brian!

 

Today's shave was with a USA made razor. I had a very smooth and comfortable 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. This is one of my "Top Shelf Razors". A real joy to use.

Second shave with the Wacker. Sure glad I snagged the scuttle, a nice warm lather when the temperature hovers near zero, sure is a treat
