Thanks Gary... I might try another set with the transparent effect here shortly.

CVH MK 33 in ivory, lovely shaving razor, soap was MdC agrumes and Myrsol Limon was a perfect compliment.

Fresh off an Hokuto stamped wakasa this morning, this 1/4 grind beauty utterly destroyed a week’s worth of growth leaving me BBS smooth! SR heaven today, guys.

That’s a fine looking Heljestrand and aren’t those your new favorite stones?

That King Pelican is a beauty

Thank you Karl.

And Mark, that KP is a beauty!

Art Razor 'Saga', first shave after being touched up and finished on Gokyumo 20k. A very smooth edge, I go much this time, much better than my last attempt.

Thanks guys! I got really lucky on that one obviously.

Nice recovery shave from yesterday
15/16 Bartmann 86
Manganese Steel
I truly enjoy these large Bartmanns... this square point and the 89 round point.
Lather up some Stirling Piacenza, out of an old RR XXX tub, topped off with Oleo Shiloh, and I’m running out of ADP inspiration scents .

Enjoy your shave.

Top performance from a vegan soap. Another fine Sheffield shave!

Now that is how a Bartmann 86 should look! Beautiful.

My Bartmann 86 was my first new old stock straight many years ago. It shaved great from day one without extra honing needed.

Herr Razors fresh off a Suehiro 20k, buttery smooth and wickedly sharp.

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Morning TOST
Burma Shave Boar
Dubl Duck 5/8
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Morning TOST Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Burma Shave Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Dubl Duck 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Touron-Parisot from the mid-1800s, Czech and Speake 88 and Harris Pink were in the supporting roles for these beautiful old razors.

This Morning Shave

Demascus Razor The Big Gun
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Orange and White 24mm 2 band finest
Nautica N-83 Voyage Eau de Toilette

Spectacular razor Mark, I bet it delivered a spectacular shave.

Went with some very old, presumably Sheffield, steel today.

Unmarked but looks well used. Love the repair work and just wouldn’t want to change a thing... not even the string holding the wedge end together.

D.R.Harris is not a favorite, but the scent is very nice and JR263 can do wonders in whipping up a lather.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom
