Nice... I'm still trying to figure out if I am going to get a straight razor , I'm still a bit scared of them. I have never used a straight razor before.

Impressive. I always assumed the background of many of the pictures here were photoshopped. I don't mind either, but it is definitely impressive when you take a picture that stands out on its own. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Max Sprecher Custom Vlasta Chubby Boar Wholly Kaw Vegan Soap True Gentleman Preshave Oil John Varvatos Artesian Aftershave Balm First shave with this fine razor made by Max, it certainly did not disappoint at all. First use of that Cubby Boar brush made by Vlasta and I am actually impressed how it did . Enjoy your evening gentlemen! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
An answer to the question, “what is sharper, a straight razor or a Feather blade?” The answer is YES, a Feather Straight 13/16” Feather 2601 Enjoy your shave. Tom Beautiful new Custom @Briscoe!
Very nice acquisition. Max Sprecher is definitely on my want to buy list. I did not know they also made straight razors. Another NOS blade, very nice.
That is the first I have seen a Feather straight, I am definitely intrigued! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I’ve seen a few but not enough to get a history. Searching just overwhelms you with Feather Artist Club stuff. As far as this razor, it is just what you would expect from a quality Japanese straight... very nice.
Used two straights today. Russian made razor with new scales, thank you @M14Shooter. And FW Engels from the same generous man. The Engels had dulled a little, probably a bad stropping job on a non focused day. Took to the Arks to get the edge back. I was really just testing out both razors. The Engels never disappoints. The Russian razor is awesome when I can get it's angle down. More or less, comrade, and I are still having debates. Lol shave on friends.
Today's shave was with a Newly Honed, and restored razor, from Germany. I had a great 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Great edge on this razor, put on by some Japanese Nagura stones, care of @Steve56 . Razor- Prima "MAX", Solingen Germany Brush- Sterling Boar Soap- TOBS Eton College Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Vikings Horn Decanter
Only partly a straight but it was calling to me the last few days. Glad I picked it up - wonderful shave experience Hot water preparation T&H Ultimate Comfort PSO Brown Windsor Mystic Water T&H Wellington Super Badger C.V. Heljestrand C.V.

Doing my best @Billyfergie impression with a Minty, possibly NOS, Solingen beauty... a C.S. Bresnick “Original SUPREJ” If I remember correctly, this distributor is tied to the Dubl Duck brand. You will find Bresnick, then Bresduck, and then finally Pearlduck Dubl Ducks out there. I fell for the hammered tang . Enjoy your shave. Tom
