What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

6/8 Sheffield Blade that I restored this morning .Not familiar with the maker .
S.E.T. REALY.EGR.U&F UNIVERSALLY SHEFFIELD
The Celebrated American Razor Philadelphia Works.
Shave was smooth a silk .Very similar to my Mappin and Webb blades .

 

Brian, I don't comment as much as I should on your razors... I guess I just know they are always top quality. But just a Gorgeous W&B and BB! Thank you for sharing.

Lovely over/under there too @mrchick ! It will be autumn and bird season before long, the setters are impatient...

Cheers, Steve

This was an excellent Shave! The shorter cutting edge allows you to maneuver the razor to get hard to reach areas. Although I obtained a few weepers in the process, I did obtain an excellent overall shave!

Thank you Tom. This is a favorite.

 

Thanks Steve. Bird season already started here.

 

I have basically the same razor. It should read: "Set Ready For Use, And Universally Approved".

 

Todays shave was with a perfectly ground, and super sharp, German Razor. I had the perfect 2 pass shave, with BDBS results. Excellent razor, in all respects. If I found another, in decent shape, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Sometimes, the lesser known razors are the best. This is no exception. I also used two different brushes, in a comparison. Results in the Brush section.

Razor- Lessman Bros. "Angelian Steel". Germany.
Brushes-
1. JR#262, Birdseye Maple and Ebony. With Whipped Dog Silvertip Knot.
2. RazoRock 400, with Whipped Dog High Mountain Badger Knot.
Soap- Arko Stick
Aftershave- Florida Water

 

Excellent videos I really enjoyed yesterdays video and the razor you used. I'm a big Wade & Butcher fan.

Thanks a lot! I’ll try to keep posting more, my goal is to bring the time frame down but also encourage more people to get into wet shaving.

Has a fantastic shave with this French lady.
Was BBS in no time.This old girl shaves better than my T.I. razors.Took an extremely keen and smooth edge.This razor surprised me.Awsome steel.But it was a bear to hone the first time.Took over an hour to set bevel with 1K Sharpton Glass.Really hard steel.
I thought Razor Rock Emperor was the perfect soap to use with this razor.Have not used this soap in six Months.Worked real well.Great cushion and slickness.

 

I don't mind the length of the video's, but that's just me!

M. Abdallah Philadelphia (German made) 6/8. Nice razor, with the scales and blade decoration this one could go in the 'Pimp Sticks' thread! Cream was ABC lathered with a Persian Jar 2 Best, followed by a splash of Harris Pink.

Cheers, Steve

 

That's definitely a looker.
