What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

My much prized 7/8 CMON “Blackie”
Buffalo Hide strop
T&H Luxury cream
Reticulated Horn brush w/ Tuxedo knot
Finished with “Clubman”

With an edge like a CMON can hold, it is one pass and done

Silky Smooth baby — in Elmira, Idaho.

Happy birthday tomorrow Hans!

6/8 Scheön Burg frameback, beautifully rescaled by Stefan aka mainaman. Soap was 3P lathered with an $8 Amazon Omega boar, and a dab of ABC balm finished up a great Sunday morning shave.

 

Thanks Steve! Nice razor

Tell us the story behind that razor Tom, you’re leaving out the best part! Beautiful work BTW.

Hans, your razors are already getting wider my friend!

Yes! Next step is a Ralf Aust 7/8”. Just waiting that they will be available in Sweden. Lots of brands are on hold, probably due to the pandemic.

Thank you Steve.
There is a reason some Filly’s come cheap...

I thought if I could keep the “F” it would work... small change of point style and I snuck it in. Going on 3 years now - fun razor.

I knew there was some nice craftsmanship lurkin behind that first image! Well done Tom.

310 Shell Silver Steel frame back, testing the La Lune edge N12k -> La Lune 25 stokes water and 3 drops glycerin. Cream was T&H UC lathered with a Simpsons 58, and a little Floris 89 AS finished up an excellent shave.

The edge was very sharp and delivered a very close shave with no stubble left behind. Like other edges that I’ve made with it, it doesn’t seem quite as smooth as the best JNat, but if you have a tough beard (mine is rather normal) the ‘grape ape’ may make just the edge for you - I have a tough-bearded friend that loves his.

 

The shortened scales were a complete surprise and a masterful touch. Really impressive fix

 

Thank you Karl - I really appreciate it.

 

Tuesday morning shave, Heinrich Böker with Ebony scales.

I’m still in love with the looks of this razor. No close seconds. The shave is very nice, too

The choice of After Shave is a tip of the hat to two master Old Spice enablers - @Primotenore and @DaltonGang

It really doesn’t get better than that Karl. That is a drop dead gorgeous design.
