What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Yesterday’s shave with the big Kropp. This is a heavy razor and gave a great shave. Somehow though, even while paying attention, I managed to get two small nicks on the chin - didn’t even notice it until they were flowing red.

Heljestrand 6/8 No 130, soap was MdC lavender in ‘brain bowl’ lathered with a TOBS brush, and a splash of SMN lavender AS finished up a grwat shave.

 

A new to me Weiss...
Pretty cool history in this name. I wanted to shave (it came shave ready) and then I had an idea for a scale swap (these are not original).

If I don’t screw that up, I will post a quick thread.

Enjoy your shave.

Imperial 20507 Army and Navy razor
Wonderful razor and maintains an enjoyable edge.

I think this was my first set of wood scales with the CA glue finish... fun to see how much stuff I screwed up and some of the stuff I accidentally got right. . Holding up well.

Enjoy your shave.

Thanks Gary. These Imperials pop up with many different blade faces, and I am a huge fan of this model.

 

Wow. Just wow! Love the razor.

Thank you Chris. I’m always on the lookout for the Army/Navy razors, and this one is my favorite.

 

Can I like it again? Yeah, it is that nice.

I just received my brand new Max Sprecher custom razor. It is my very first custom. It is a 10/8 blade with barber's notch, blue Paua scales and a mirror finish. I couldn't wait to have my first shave with it. It was a fun and comfortable shave!

 

I had a great shave tonight with my Challenge razor works rifle razor and my oldest SE. This Kampfe Star Lather catcher is a great razor and I love the way this bullet casing handle feels and looks on this razor. The casing is from the honor guard at my Grandfathers funeral.
I figured it was a fitting combination.
