What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

I’ve had it for a few years now. It is a long razor at about 8” but it not hard to adapt to using. I love the style and uniqueness.
Now if only it was in Wootz.

 

Tiger
Suds: Labelle Tabac Vanille
Splash: A&E Vanille de Tabac

Still think this could be a Lauterjung precursor to Puma, but I have no maker’s mark, or country for that matter.

Enjoy your shave.

Nice razor, wonder if it is an export model? Have never seen it before (in Sweden anyway) most close is number 4 or 7 I guess

I believe so. I bought both of them (at different times) out of Japan, so they’re post-WW2. Razors this wide and hollow in Japan are rare, the only other ones that I can think of offhand is a Filarmonica 14 and a Henckles 14. I also have a pair of No 130 which are 6/8, and I take it maybe near the end of production as one of them is not ground that well.

 

Maher & Grosh “ The Jockey Razor”
Suds: Murphy and McNeil Trinity
Splash: Fine Platinum

Enjoy your shave.

Filarmonica 13: Fresh off the stones and oh so sharp and oh so smooth.

 

Ralf Aust 5/8 Rosewood, nice razor but much More noise when shaving then with my Swedish razors

Glen always has good ideas, so a King Pelican was up today, cream and balm were I Coloniali Rhubarb and the brush was a Simpsons 58.

 

Tabac shaving soap

Yaqi badger


Heljestrand frameback.

I really struggled to get the razor shave ready. It now works.

 

Nice shave with this frameback. (It must have been the power of suggestion from the SOTD by @esvh ) I think I am still learning the optimal angles with this one or it just needs a good refresh. Excellent result at the end nonetheless

Happy shaving - Karl

 

That one is really old! What is it stamped with? Mostly they are in the neighbourhood of the year that says “rewarded at Paris fair etc”

I have always admired that razor when I see it on the vendors websites, but wow, that is beautiful razor.

 

PRC Damascus 6/8 with a 3/4 grind and honey horn scales.

 

Thank you sir

I believe the arbenz is identical to the jaques lecoultre au sentiers. I have a quite large collection of framebacks, but this one is missing. Beatiful razor.

 

Last shave of the year. I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.
