What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

"....the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.."
I find that if I go more than two days, Robert, I can't stand it any longer, either.
With Movember just around the corner, I'll have to sacrifice shaving my upper lip for 30 days. Between that and my existing mouche; my shaving real estate is diminishing!

 

5/8 L.C. Clark & Co., Danville, VA

Basic no name razor made with fine German steel and a very good shaver. Have a good one. Notice the uber lather this morning.

 

Joseph Smith & Sons 13/16 wedge, barber's notch and dyed cow horn. Have a better Thursday everyone.

 

Freidel Koch 6/8 gold etched one of a 7 day set ( Monday) - beautiful razor that shaves so well and sings like a hummingbird
Soap - MWF - I have made numerous attempts to make a nice lather with this soap and still cannot. I finally added some Tabac crème and glycerin to finish the shave with. I soaked the soap all night and it lathered quickly but had zero body?
AS - Floid Blue & a Razorock blam

Happy Halloween. Nice Shave.

 

Nice wacker and I love the Tabac crème, something about the yellow color

Seifenglatt Versailles soap
Floid Black label AS
Razorock Zi Pepino Balm
As good a shave as I have ever had

 

J.B.F. Champlin 6/8 half hollow. A very nice shave for the morn' of All Hallow's Eve.

Thiers-Issard 7/8

 

Today was
Razor - Revisor 13/16 NOS
soap - WSP Rustic Lavender scent
AS - none, just a RR balm
Fantastic shave but this soap is barely above average in glide and tends to break down on my face so I added Arko crème with a dab of glycerin after the first pass. Would I buy the WSP again, probably not but is it good enough to use up or pass on in a PIF

 

the stenton bigger of the two the wade is 8/8 stenton is 10/8. the stenton is my favorite but I use it once or twice a month due to rarity

 

I've never seen or heard of the Stenton. Is it a modern artisan razor or vintage? From the tiny photo, the scales look vintage. Country of manufacture?

I wouldn't let rarity keep me from using the razor often.

 

Very nice, if you get a chance, I wouldn't mind a close up pic. Welcome to the board.

 

stenton was around 1830 to 1836 Sheffield marked wm stenton and son again superior, If memory serves right, if you want a bigger pic pm me and I can send you one, I posted it as 10/8 and it is not it is 12/8 the biggest stenton I have ever seen or heard of. the man I got this one from has another but hasn't made the decision to sell it yet.all I have is the promise if he sell it I get first crack.

I noticed a ding on the Wacker yesterday while cleaning up so I took it to the hones last night for a touch up. Excellent shave this morning. I made this square bowl years ago and would like to use it for shaving but the wife says no way. Have a good one.

 

Rabbit Rabbit!

​

13/16 Packwood. First shave since I put on some new scales in cherrywood. An excellent shave this morning.

 

If the wife says no, its a no =P It looks good, It would be a shave to ruin it with water
