What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

STILLE Stockholm Sweden, first time using it due to a crack in the edge at the back. This was the strangest razor I have used. Sharp? Absolutely, but very loud. Extremely thin blade.

I think it does, but I’m biased
I love the look and appreciate the craftsmanship immensely.

 

Yes It is a custom made for me.

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, Day 3 of Gillette Focus, JANUARY 12, 2021

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery Sheffield 13/16 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow (Dome)
BLADE: Kai DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Rooney Ebony Pure Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Aqua Velva (Spanish Version).

 

It has been over a week, since my last shave. I contracted The COVID virus, while at work, and I just didn't feel like shaving, or doing much of anything else. Until today. So, this is my "Lockdown Shave".
It is with a newly restored, and honed American Made razor. I had a silky smooth, 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues, except I cannot smell anything I am using.

Razor- Lakeside Cutlery "Army and Navy". USA.
Soap- AOS "OUD"
Brush- @oscar11 homemade special. Synthetic knot.
Aftershave- Florida Water.

 

Hope you're feeling better Scott, and hope your sense of smell comes back soon.

 

Get well soon Scott!

Just another ho hum shave but high quality, Filly 14, SMN, and a Keyhole 3. Good stuff.

 

Sorry to hear about your COVID bout, Scott! Hope your smell and taste return in due time! At least you had a great shave!

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate everything.

 

Hopefully you will get well soon!
