What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

J.B.F. Champlin & Son again this morning, 6/8 half hollow oblique point.

 

6/8 Wacker
MWF
homemade boar
I relofted this brush, it was to short, IMO. Nice shave this morning.

 

Went with the the ugly duckling this morning. George Wostenholm Celebrated I.XL

 

My quiver of straights numbers only three, so it doesn't take long to make the rounds!

Boker this morning, a 5/8 Good as Gold half hollow that's aptly named - it's a very smooth shaver even in my inexperienced hands!

This is a hollow ground Japanese razor, but it feels like a large and heavy Sheffield wedge. Very dense steel. I need to rehone, I think.

13/16 Prior
Cold River Barbershop
Homemade brush with Jagger knot
Nice shave this morning. I'm pretty sure this is a pure knot and I really liked the feel of it which surprised me. Have a good one. The knot came as a freebie from the vendor where I buy my boar brushes from. The handle was broken and he said see what you can do with it.

 

Garland Improved Eagle half hollow 5/8. I'm really very happy with all 3 of the razors I have, but this one has an especially nice feel to it. Have a good 'un everyone!

 

C-Mon Hand Made freshly honed by Glen (gssixgun) at Gem Star Customs. Applied Cella Soap with Whipped Dog Silver Tip Badger, lather kept warm in Robert Becker Scuttle, Pinaud Clubman After Shave.

My goodness that's a big hunk of steel!

 

My first shave with this newly-restored Tortolani 'Silver Steel.' A very audible shave. Great feel to the edge (an easy hone-job! ) and it made quick work of the day & a 1/2 growth.
Here it is pictured before I took it to the stones….

 

Japanese Gold Rex full hollow 13/16

A hunka, hunka burning love...or steel. I'd like to try a 10/8 or large George Britain, but they come around seldom and are very, very expensive.

 

A clean machine.

 

J.B.F. Champlin & Son 6/8 "Galvanic".

 

Toyo frameback
Cold River Barbershop
homemade boar brush
Fine Clean Vetiver and 444 balm
Nice shave this morning.

I rehoned on Naniwas and still had a rough edge that wasn't shaving, so I went to my lapping film. I used 30, 15, 12, 9, 5, 3, 1, 0.3 micron progression. That is some hard steel. I did more laps than usual and used the thumb test that Lynn Abrams taught us at the Asheville, NC convention this year. Now the Parker shaves as it should.
