What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

This W&B gave a fantastic shave today. Pretty much everything I like: a smile, a little heavier grind, 6/8 or so width, thumb notch. Definitely one of my top tier razors

Shave On Gents

 

Great Sunday shave with the Filly. Eton College cream and edc. It just doesn’t get any better than this

 

a bit of an understatement but...

 

Stiz СТИЗ Москва 1953, 5/8" half hollow Just gave her a new pair of shoes .The old ones were cracked .I also honed her on Sharpton Glass up to 16 K and then Finished her on my Thuri .
Shave was awesome.She cut threw whiskers like a T-34 Tank blasting thru the line . Edge was smooth and super keen .

Tonight's shave was with a little known razor. It feels like Swedish Silver steel. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. This is a wonderful shaving razor, that I wish I knew more about.
It's one of my "Top Shelf Razors".

Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood

WOW!!!

 

Thank you very much, guys!

 

Today's shave was with a Sheffield made razor. 2 pass BBS shave, with zero issues. Always a smooth comfortable razor. Plus I like the somewhat rarity of the Bow Razors.

Razor- Wade & Butcher, "Bow Razor".
Brush- Stirling Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Yuuuuummmmy.

 

I had been looking at the smiling Saito razors for some time and then I saw @TestDepth razors and my search intensified. I could not find a reasonable priced NOS version so I settled for the modern copy, a Herr Razor with a big smile. Today's shave Herr Razors

 

Congrats Keith! It’s nice seeing you being enabled. For once

 

Yamada Beauty 6/8. These seem to be harder to find in the western grind. Plenty kamisori style. A heavy piece of steel and sharper than all get out.

 

Today's shave was with a Iwasaki 15/16 hand made, poraso azume lime creme, taconic pre shave and after shave , John Vartos Black

 

So beautiful!!!!

There is no “settling” with that razor.
