Like I said.... more pairs than pair trees.

Nice.

This Sunday Shaver was a Christmas gift from my wife one year because she knew how much I liked my first one.

Trouble was it never shaved as good regardless of who honed it.

Now it shaves better than its predecessor. I wasn’t supposed to be able to do that on crowned surface hones. Guess I’ll be flunking out of honing school, but at least I have a fresh love for my straights.



Just a close smooth shave that made me happy.

Question for all you straight razor users. I know the SE safety razor users have “micromatic Monday's”, is there enough owners of Maher and Grosh straight razor out there to possibly start a “Maher-Grosh Monday’s?
I own 2 Maher-Grosh razors, and reach for them both often. They are both great shavers.
Just a thought.

Anyways today’s shave.

It gave a great shave tonight, but definitely needs a touch up on the stones. It pulled just a little, towards the end of my shave. No worries, she will be back in tiptop shape in no time.

Tuesday morning shave, CVH 923F. Quite solid blade but shaves really well. A little bit like the Thomas Turner in behaving. Quite silent due to the shape more like a axe than a razor.

Following up my last shave on #2 Sunday Shaver with #1 Sunday Shaver.

I’ve used this less than #2 because it has always been my benchmark for performance. It sports a coticule edge that demands love. I don’t get this good with my coticule, so I’ve got some work to do there.

Great shave. Great software.

My second straight razor and my first nice one. This is the razor that started me down the rabbit hole, a Dovo Bismarck 2.

Diamante is one of the brands of ERN.

ERN had a lot of different brand names. And they are fine shavers.

This is mine Diamante.

A Friedrich Herder 77

Not spotless, but that doesn't degrade the shaving.

I Use My Coticule Coming Off a Naniwa 12 K Super Stone..I Only Use 20/30 Uber Light Sets or there About with Tallow & Glycerin Lather..I have a Couple of Lovely Coticule Stones Mind..One is a Proper Barbers Touch Up/Finishing Stone..Smooth as Glass..Many are Not the Highest Grit Finishers..I Can Pump Out a 12 K Edge with Mine..I Like Em on Sheffield Blades in Particular..

Lovely birthday shave this morning. Last night the Lakers won, the Dodgers won (and Kershaw was super sharp), and Kathy and I got our second Covid shots. Great set up to the big 65 today. The shave was everything you could ask for

Mastro Livi travel kit
Suds: Mike’s Natural Wild Honeysuckle
Splash: Razorock Irish Countryside
Balm: The Sudsy Soapery “Rain”

Cool kit that packs like a Russian doll:
CrOx into the brush handle, brush into the strop handle, the handle relocates in between the loom material, the razor also packs inside the loom in the smaller pouch, and then all that goes in the kit with scissors and a comb... really cool design.

Enjoy your shave.

Sorry, had to recycle the pics;

I had a two day growth. Thought the weight of this blade would be the best option for a smooth clean shave.

25 laps on the linen. 50 on the leather.

A hot water soak. Lathered and ready to see if I assumed correctly.

And boy did I. Like a champ this razor easily removed the extended growth. Clean, smooth shaving from this excellent razor.

a Witch Hazel cleanse finished up the experience.

Excellent travel kit!

I’ll try that. Sounds interesting.
How critical is the thickness of the lather?

I Use Italian VITOS Tallow Soap..CELLA is a Good Soap as Well..I Know it Well..Most of those Crap Pseudo Tallow USA Soaps are Just Added Tallow Oil..Just Lather it as Ya Would for Shaving on a Loaded Brush..Lather it on the Stone..Job Done..

Billy..

Thanks!

I’ll give it a try and let you know.

Absolutely perfect shave, with a Newly Acquired, Restored, and Honed razor. The Eschers Thuringian stone put a wonderful edge on this razor, and it went through 3 weeks of heavy beard, like it wasnt even there. This brand never disappoints me, and is one of my favorites.

Razor- C-MON "Special" Solingen Germany
Brush- @oscar11 creation, with synthetic knot
Soap- ARKO
Aftershave- Florida Water.
