The new Doble Temple's maiden voyage, what's to say? Shaves like a Filly 14 and many of us know what that's like, superb. Soap was I Coloniali Mango Oil lathered with a 22mm M&F with 2-band Heritage hair, Lucky Tiger topped it off.

Cheers, Steve

Absolutely top notch shave with the Fritz Bracht today. A solid three days of whiskers gone with no drama. Just face rubbing goodness remains.

Thursday Riga Razor 7/8



Friday a huge smile, Herr Razors

 

Inspired by Scott’s honey horn scale work for his W&B, I figured I’d take this one for a spin.

I do love the transparency. Original washers were saved and used but not quite the original wedge .

Enjoy your shave!

That Riga is like a big boy Bismarck! Great photo too.

Cheers, Steve

 

5/8 Russian Straight Razor "Osobaya"(Special), made at factory STIZ in Moscow in 1957

Had a great shave with this Soviet Era blade ,It mowed down whiskers like a Russian T-34 Tank busting threw the line .Its noisy like a T-34 too .Very audible blade .Louder than my German Hollow Grounds.Took a super keen edge.Honed on Sharpton Glass up to 16K than finished on my Escher .It is a Full Hollow ground Straight .Most of my Russian Blades are Quarter Hollows.Very impressed with this Razor.

 

Black Beauty: I bought this cheapie for ~$7.50 for camping. The blade is pretty lightweight, and just shy of a full 5/8, but took a sharp edge and is seeming to hold it. I had a three days growth and ended up with bbs after the usual three passes.

 

It's trying to. Budget is telling me off atm. Lol

 

Thiers-Issard 7/8

 

Cape 1000 13/16 Swedish Steel, a smooth shaving razor. Cream was I Coloniali Rhubarb lathered with a Simpsons 57, and Thayers Rose Petal finished things off.

Cheers, Steve

Razor- Japanese "Coral 1070". For Professional Barbers Use.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Vikings Horn Decanter.
