What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Thanks Kevin for the info and breakdown. I see a lot of these soap tubs posted on the den. And @Douglas Carey is like the soap santa sending these to some great guys.

I look forward to trying these soon...maybe even add one for the review crew.

 

5/8 Grelot Lotus
TOBS Coconut SC
unknown synthetic brush
Nice shave this morning. I'm not a fan of this brush or the Coconut SC (scent) but it's TOBS so it does a fine job for me. Have a good one.

 

It will be on the site soon..."Lightly spiced cedar wood mingles with notes of bergamot, bay and fir; nicely balanced with the slightly sweet, warm aroma of Cavendish cut and cured tobacco leaf."

Thanks for posting HR

I've recently bought a few different soaps from The Holy Black Gunpowder Spice, which I like. I just got in this sandalwood soap from Stirling. Had a perfect shave with it this morning. Good lather. The aftershave balm is awesome. Great scent and not overdone. Kept me opening the jar yesterday to get a whiff. Going to order more from them.

Razor: GEVOSO SS
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap: Stirling Sandalwood
Aftershave: Stirling Sandalwood

 

Not shilling here, but I have three J-Wests on eBay with super low starting bids . Maybe a chance for a SSotD buddy to pick up a nice J-West cheap. So who knows, maybe you can steal one from me and make me regret the low starting bids . Seriously, I'd much rather see these go to friends.

Two extremely nice looking Fons Mike I rate them highly, and everytime I see your Tamahagane shorty I have nightmares I keep seeing it fall from the wall mounted cabinet the Emperor of Japanese razors I could cry everytime I see the razor, good luck WTS.

I'm still fighting my hones and blood sugar issues that are making me shake. I'll post in here as soon as I get both issues worked out.

Nice knowing who has stuff on the bay, I'm sure they'll head out of my range soon but I did have low bids on 2 of them already. Too funny.

Best o' Luck my friend! Personally, I'm hoping someone pays through the nose

 

Is this the famous Iwasaki that fell from its place on the wall? What's the blade length now? I haven't bought a straight in a year, but could be tempted, if the price were right.
