What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Old Wosty Washington Works frameback, when I got it, it was fugly and chipped, now it’s just homely and in need of a little more TLC. But boy does it shave! Cream was SMN lathered with a Keyhole 3, AS was Myrsol AB. And I am BDBS.

 

The Filly was a fine choice on a beautiful Sunday in Florida

Hot water preparation
T&H Ultimate Comfort PSO

Now that, Karl, is a pretty razor!

Used the Fougére Mania
Brush is a Finnish Black Badger which I put in a Lignum Vitae custom handle
Strop was 3” Buffalo
Smelling nice with the Cool Water splash

Swedish blade, seen with Engstrom as a maker on other blades. Also seen Red Devil on either the tang or scales... so this is my take on that theme.

Enjoy your shave.

E. A. Berg frameback, soap was MdC rose lathered with a Keyhole 4, and a splash of Harris Pink finished up a perfect shave. This razor is a likely candidate for a swap to ivory scales; no discernable hone wear and the blade graphics are as new.

 

After seven decades, first shave.
Not perfect, but smooth.

Wacker "Don't Tread on Me"
Mike's Vetiver
Homemade brush

Been looking for a good vetiver soap for awhile. So far scent wise I'd have to give it to MdC love the scent but not real wild about the soap. I like my vetiver pretty straight but Salters Vetiver is too much for me.

According to Arne at B&B, this is a pre-production model of the CVH M. K. 133 in ivory, no model name or number is stamped in it. This is a full hollow 7/8 singing blade. Soap and AS was TSD Blood on Steel 2019. Shave was exactly what you’d expect of a full hollow CVH, BDBS!

 

Nice razor! A little bit jealous

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 2021

RAZOR: Sheffield Manhattan Cutlery French Point 13/16 (Mug), Christopher Bradley Safety Razor from Karve Shaving with Wide Body Cap (Dome)
BLADE: Sharp Star DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth
CREAM/CROAP: A&E Shaving Butter

Gorgeous scales on that subtle almost smiling blade, Tom!

 

Thank you Jeff. That blade has a little of your SK3 feel to it.
Beautiful lines on that Manhattan Cutlery, and those scales look in great shape.

 

I've had that experience, where for whatever reason I can't get the shave smooth no matter how much I hone. What solved it for me, and really worked miracles, was going to my balsa strop and doing a couple hundred laps in the green paste and the red paste. The pastes are 0.3 micron chromium oxide (green) and 0.1 micron iron oxide (red). I did soemthing like 100 laps each, although I may have lost count at some point. Anyhow, much more than my regular amount of laps. That totally brought my monkey-tailed Wosty back to life. I figured I was going to have to send it out. YMMV but pasted stropping wears your razor out much less than honing, and it did work for me.
