What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Der ODH….Sehr gut!

 

6/8 Torrey
Cade
homemade brush with 25mm Shavemac pure fan
I get as good of shave off this razor as any I own. The edge was finished on a Thurri and I had a real nice shave this morning. For some reason I'm really into this pure knot. It's starting to be quite agreeable with my face. Have a good one.

 

The Torreys just seem to feel good on the face don't they

 

Dorko 401 7/8 NOS - I think it needs to go to the finishing stones as it is starting to drag a bit
Meibner Tremonia Strong n Scottish - very peaty & smokey scotch scent which is ok by me & it lathers pretty easily but just has no glide or slickness. Three times I tried it and I am done with it
Floid Amber AS
Frank shaving 28 mm silvertip
Todays shave as ok not spectular

 

Beauty of a razor!

 

Vintage I•XL shave…

 

Running a little late so got a round point to do a quick shave, 6/8 Kropp

 

6/8 Inox Wacker
Soap Commander
homemade brush/ 3 band knot of unknown origin

This knot is a terrible shedder. I'll keep combing until I run out of hair or it quits shedding. It has straightened out quite a bit but still loses some hair. It is very dense and soft, we'll see how it turns out. Excellent shave this morning, have a good one.To all you Jarheads, Happy Marine Corps Birthday!

 

SOTD Tuesday

Proraso red in 53 Shulton Old Spice mug
24mm silvertip badger knot in a @gssixgun custom turned birdseye maple handle
DD Goldedge SR
Pasini handmade latigo strop
Clubman original


Alas my brothers of the order of the cutthroatSR, I have returned. I have been to the other side, and I am happy to say that I am back. Viva la SR. Lol

 

I disassembled this vintage Swiss-made frame back for a thorough cleaning and polishing (100+ years of gunk build-up); finished off the edge on an old Escher waterstone.

 

Must be a simpsons transplant, I have a older comodore that that shed alot. What worked for me was straight paint like and swirling strokes on a dry towel after each use. Draws out the rebels quicker and eventually stops. Knot dependant of coarse. Confirms no soap left and dries quicker as well. Give it a whirl it beats pulling hairs from a foamed up face.

 

In honor of the 240 th birthday of the Marine Corps I used my USMC razor today

5/8 Grelot Lotus
oxford & cambridge
homemade boar
it would be interesting to pick up a few more of these grelot lotus p.o.s. razors, really, you can trust me. truth be known, i'm pretty enamored with this blade, just a very nice shaving razor. IMO, about as good as it gets. Takes and holds it's edge wonderfully. Have a good one.

 

Thank's. It's abalone, picked it up at a flee market for five bucks. Hot water bath, closed openings with silacone then sealed it with ca.
Just enough texture inside it to make it perfect for whipping lather up so when I saw it I had to grab it.
