What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

There’s nothing like using your favorite razor that you have the hots for!

 

Thanks guys - I think of it as my razor equivalent of

 

Scheön Burg frame back, I’ve been playing with a newly minted Pierre La Lune the past couple of days. The La Lune edges give me a shave that ‘lasts’ a long time, I did not have much stubble from yesterday morning’s shave until this morning! Those edges are very sharp and smooth, but aggressive it seems.

So I refinished it with a fine piece of Nakayama kiita, et voilá a buttery smooth edge. Soap and AS were Czech and Speake 88.

 

Thank you TSD!

Well that’s new one on me - thanks for sharing it Hans. Now, if only that was a 7/8 or better

 

Have I ever said how much I like this thread?? This thread has helped usher me into Straight Razors, and has helps with learning to master them. Thanks to all the guys who contribute this thread.

Look what stepped outta the trees while I was making coffee after the shave, I expect to see calves soon too

 

Very nice to have order restored, the disturbance in the force was strong last night

 

Well, it’s a 11/16 or 18mm to be precise… 11/16 is 17.4625mm. The world would be a better place with the Metric system, but less confusing

Very nice Glen, I live in a city (Knoxville), and occasionally we have a bear or two or a deer wander through. The bears are on their way somewhere no doubt, but they sure cause a stir!

 

Beautiful view Hans!

 

Thanks Steve! About 4.000 square meters to cut with the lawn mower.. So like a decent razor you have to have a decent lawn mower.

The tool and die companies would love it, the US manufacturers not so much.

It would be simpler for sure but where’s the romance is obsessing over a 25.4 mm blade?

 

Meanwhile, here in Florida…

 

No doubt, I shifted to a ZTM about 6 years ago I actually mow about 2 acres around the house
I had a 42" Garden Tractor and it would take me about 3 hours to do it all, with a 42" ZTM I can do slightly more in less than 1 1/2 hours... Just no wasted time

 

I’ve been thinking about ZTM Glen, my John Deere L-110 is over 20 years old - my dad bought it! I’ll get through this season then time to catch a sale and upgrade.

Shell 92 Silver Steel by Perfectworks, cream and AS were AdP, the brush is a Rooney copy by @life2short1971

 

Plant some crops or fruit trees.
