Honed this razor all day. Unfortunately, she needs to go back to the stones. Left quite a bit of stubble. Surprisingly there was no pulling just, not cutting well.

A streaked horn type of day.

Enjoy your shave.

Koraat razors are some of the finest shavers. Your Koraat is a looker! Great lineup Tom!

 

Tom, tell me more about this horn salt and pepper shaker. Inquiring minds want to know, lol!

 

Thank you Joe. I had an older one and couldn’t pass this one up.

A buddy sent me this set of salt and pepper shakers thinking maybe I could use them for scales... would have to be a Shorty.

But I think it did all right with this brush. Had a laugh with it.

Lol, I love it! Thanks for sharing Tom.

Definitely a crazy game of what objects can be used in your shaving routine.

Happy shaving - Karl

 

Last couple of shaves with the Lakeside Cutlery Army & Navy razor vacationing in PA from TX.

Smoother than anything I paid to have honed. A great new target for my own work.

Pieces like this are what keep straight shaving going.

Simpson Super Badger brushes are extravagant in my mind, but I wanted one, so I bought an Emperor 2 a few years ago. Then kept wishing I had gotten the Emperor 3. I decided to fix that. I’m on a ‘No Buy’ for the Emperor 1, hope I can hold out.


Delightful shaves. Thank you Scott.

 

You are more than welcome.

I am Koraat fan boy, the scales on yours are

 

I have not seen any near-wedge JWest razors other than this example, I am sure they exist. This is an Atlas 6/8 near wedge. It took me a couple tries to get her honed properly and now she is a silent whisker killer.

 

Thank Keith. I like how they work with the antique finish on the tang. Not sure who “configured” this one, but I liked their style.

 

Langres
Brush: Razorock
Suds & Balm: Moon Soaps Amaretto
The town of Langres looks to be an ancient town in northeastern France, known for armor making and was also a center for cutlery. I appreciate their craftsmanship on this old beauty.

Enjoy your shave.
