What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

No shave today. The day started too early, no time.

 

Wade & Butcher Bow straight razor

 

Razor Ryujin Tamahagane Dragon God western style Kamisori.

​

 

5/8 T.I.
WSO White Lightning
homemade 28mm TGN F2

 

Dovo 10 Fritz Bracht

 

Dubl Duck Goldedge

 

Same set up as yesterday but different brush. Nice shave.

 

Steve, what TI is that and is it vintage? I'm considering a TI, but don't know what to get.

 

Razor: modified Gold Dollar 66 (in N.American Redwood scales)
Brush: VDH reknotted with 24mm x 56mm finest badger
Soap: VDH Deluxe/Glycerin mix

This is my "stock sucks" shave. Absolutely everything is modified and customized. The GD was ground down, honed up, and rescaled in North American Redwood to make it awesometastic. The Van Der Hagen brush has an imported Chinese knot and performs beautifully. The two Van Der Hagen soaps were melted, melded, and poured into a dark wood Kingsley bowl. Everything here started out extremely basic, but with a little effort my gear is looking good and outperforming stuff that costs twice as much.

Now if I could just find my real camera so that I don't have to keep using my crappy phone camera...

 

The same one I use everyday. My Boker American Line SS St Louis.

 

Robert, it's an Art of Shaving T.I. I found dirt cheap, used. I won a contest on one of the forums for a rescale job and had it done in real MOP. This one has the c135 steel (relatively new, probably been around 4 or 5 years). It take a nice edge and is a good shaver. I'd probably be tempted to get one of their 7/8 Dreadnoughts or Dominator points. http://www.thiers-issard.co.uk/page73.html
But then again, I seem to like just about every straight razor I see.

 

I'm right there with you.

Tried out another Barber's hone for this mornings shave. Very decent shave but maybe should have spent a little more time on the strop. I could tell by the scratch pattern it wasn't as fine as the one I have been using. I like playing around with Barber's hones just to see what some of the old timers were shaving with (edge wise).

 

Don't have a picture, but back to my grandfather's G. Wostenholm & Son "Canuck". This is the first straight razor I got (out of the two I have) and will probably be a favorite for a very long time. I still have not mastered it's use, but no blood letting so I'm going in the right direction!
