What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Grelot 14 with a refreshed edge, soap was 3P lathered with a Simpsons 59, and a dab of SMN body cream as AS balm finished up a super smooth and close shave.

Hopefully the drop wasn’t too bad on that Silverloaf Keith - it has a beautiful smile.

The lack of sunlight and work hours created the opportunity for a family photo.

Revisor (left) kicked off the week, followed by a Cape 1372, and capped off with a newly honed “Marten” 201.

I swear I have seen that mark on a different blade but it doesn’t matter. I may be spoiled after using the Cape, but not the greatest geometry or feel... still enjoyable.


Enjoy your shave.

F. Herder 15/16

 

Heavily modified Wade & Butcher FBU
As messed up as this looks, she delivers a wonderful shave.

Enjoy your shave.

I am always pleased how Sheffield Steel can produce a super smooth shave .Speaks well of the tradesmen of that era .

Monday: Silverloaf 8/8 with a 3/4 grind and some vintage Antaeus.



Tuesday: Takehana Feon 172 - this is the first JWest I purchased and the grind on this razor is amazing and the bevel is very thin. She takes a fantastic edge.

 

I'm glad you like it. I got the Herder from a restorer in California, J.R. Rowe, who collaborated with me on the scales, pens, and contrasting red wedge.

Puma 22
Wickham's English Rose
homemade "Rastaman" brush

I've use this Puma and a Wacker for most of my shaving this summer along with this brush. No complaints. First time with Wickham's it's good stuff.

In the mountains and finally able to post, this French razor is ultra thin but it provides some of the best shaved I have ever had.

The cousin to my Dubl Duck was my choice tonight. It’s a little sharper and has that Velcro ripping thing going for it. Super close and smooth shave.

Koraat 14 2.0 - the sounds of full hollow with out the flexing feeling. She also sings an octave lower than my full hollows.

Very nice shave this morning. Some of these synthetic brushes are lather monsters. The Big Bruce will make a lot of lather and has a decent face feel. I just have a bit of a problem getting attached to them. Have a good one.
