What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

WELCOME!

A lovely straight. I've always liked French straights.

 

Interesting looking scales.

Seventh & Final shave of a 7-Day Test Drive: Mastro Livi Custom
This morning's early shave marked the seventh and my last shave using this lovely Mastro Livi Custom Straight Razor. Another great 3-pass shave!
Thanks to Mike (@entropy1049 ) for generously sharing this fine razor! I not only survived the experience (relatively bloodless!), but came away very pleased with (and spoiled by) the Mastro!

 

That's a lovely razor

 

Erusta 13/16 Boehlerstahl ( a Jamie Mahoney purchase) just a sweeeet shaving razor
Razorock Son Of Zeus - one of the best scents I have ever used & the lather is top shelf also
GFT Coral Skin Food - not too fond of this, just using it up. Fact is I like nothing about GFT products

homemade boar
This is one of the razors I've been using a lot lately along with a DD and a SHB OVB. Add some Oxford and Cambridge, de Ver Gulde Hand and Le savon des Volcans and we have everything covered for the last couple of months. As far as brushes go 2 badgers (Shavemac, Semogue) and this boar. Have a good one.

Sotd Wednesday

Old pic. But same equipment. BBS shave. No problem with the SR but I did get a nick or 2 with the DE.

 

Back to Basics: after a week with the Big Mastro Livi, this morning's 'little' razor was 'special'— a SPIKE Special.
These old Union Cutlery blades do take a fine edge!

I don't see a "28mm FS Silvertip in a Brushcraft handle"...

BTW: Got mine ordered-Thanks for the tip!

 

yeah Mike, I forgot to get it in the photo. Glad you got one ordered. Chris is a good guy and makes a quality handle. Are you using your own knot??

 

Yup. I have a 19mm HMW badger from TGN I'll be using. Chris is boring the hole a bit deeper than usual so I can set the knot a bit deeper. Give me just a wee bit more backbone.
