My Novodur seems downright homely after @b1hart and @oscar11 posts, but it shaves really well. Beautiful razors gentlemen! Cream was SMN lathered with a Keyhole 3 and a splash of Agua Balsamica from the travel kit finished up a perfect shave.

 

Absolutely nothing homely about your Novodur at all Steve! It’s gorgeous. If one like yours came across a BST at a semi reasonable price, I’d break my ‘21 no buy vow in less than a heartbeat. A Filly 14 is one, if not the only straight left in the ‘ severe’ want category for me. I’ve been fortunate with timing and lucky with my modern straight BST purchases, all of them at extremely discounted prices versus new modern examples.

 

Herder 49 in Harley shoes
Suds: SV Manna di Sicilia
Splash: Razorock Tuscan Oud
Finish: DUA Fragrances British Oud

I have one more 49 blade left to make a match for this one... someday.


Enjoy your shave.

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Conservatory
Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar
Kamisori
Feather Professional
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Conservatory Shave Stick was lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Kamisori shavette with a Feather Professional blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you very much !

 

Thank you @b1hart !

Warburton Lisbon on it’s first shave since the ‘new’ scales, the razor dates from between 1772 and 1800 as best that I can tell. Soap was La Savonnerie du Moulin lathered with a TOBS brush, and a splash of Myrsol Agua Balsamica finished up a BDBS shave. It’s kind of a hoot shaving with a razor this old.

 

What a cool shave Steve (@Steve56 )

 

Thank you Tom!

 

I always liked those scales. I remember when you were brainstorming ideas for the design.

.

 

I appreciate that Scott... I need to get off my butt and brainstorm some ideas for its sister razor.

 

Perhaps Indian Motorcycles, or another, differently designed Harley Davidson.

 

Maybe a classic British brand, especially with a Sheffield blade? Triumph, Vincent.....

Filly 14, soap was Haslinger marigold tallow lathered with a Simpson Commodore X1, and odd little brush with a too-small (for me) handle and a mind-boggling knot, soft and dense, almost Chubby like. That’s the thing about Simpsons Best knots, sometimes you get a dud and sometimes you get something good beyond all expectations. A splash of Myrsol AB finished up a BDBS shave.

 

F. Herder 14 transplanted into the spades scales
Suds: Mike’s Natural Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper
Splash: Razorock Don Marco

So, I looked around and found these two buttons for a sister razor to the Harley 49.

Leaning towards the one on the right for a different look... might depend on the wood choice.
And then I bought these two that will need to find homes in a future project.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom

 

I love those flamencos! (Of course, I could say that about any number of your razors - but these are exceptionally unique.)

 

The big W&B has provided a very impressive shave every time I’ve used it. Today was another fantastic shave - smooth, easy to maneuver, and whiskers just disappear

No Black Hills Gold Tom? Lol, I am a Harley rider or used to be for several decades. Black Hills gold stuff can be very tacky or high-end classy, so I am patiently waiting....
