Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Wash
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #326
Gold Dollar 7/8
CWR
Barbasol Brisk AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #326 synthetic horse brush. I did two passes with the Gold Dollar 7/8 razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

@Jayaruh , I use VDH luxury soap and find it a great value because it has a nice fragrance and makes a great lather.

I used my turn of the 20th Century WF Engel Special.

Portland 1905​

CVH MK33 13/16+, soap was MdC fougere lathered with a big Simpsons 59 - pure lather luxury. D. R. Harris Pink finished things up nicely.

Cheers, Steve

Pretty sure these are factory scales.
If not, I appreciate the quality of the artist.

Enjoy your shave.

Gorgeous scales, and great looking blade, too.

Thanks Randy. I hit them with some Renaissance Wax and it really brought them back to life. Great stuff.

You forgot the scales.....LOL!! Just kidding. Very impressive.

That's a beautiful vintage razor.

I never saw TI scales that look like that, either way that is a beautiful razor.

Thank you.
