What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Fat Friday

Diamondine No. 7
Rubberset 400/3 with Omega boar knot
Mitchell’s Wool Fat soap
Royal Copenhagen cologne

The 400 beat the brakes off of the Fat this morning. It is hard to beat the Fat......just good stuff.

Two passes on the checks and three on the neck with no blood loss. I'm pleased that my stropping seems to be working out....even though I'm slow with it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.

 

Dancing ladies are back from Chez Alfredo and looking good.

 

It's good to see you are getting the hang of Straight Shaving, and stropping. Keep it up, it only gets easier.

Scott is right @Hembree - but not only does it get easier, it gets better!

 

Thanks guys...I appreciate the encouragement.

 

Saturday morning shave, CVH MK No. 30 again…

Diamondine No.7
MrEE LE #011 with Dscosmetics synthetic knot
Fine Accoutrements Lavender Pour Homme
Stetson aftershave

Great lather this morning courtesy of the MrEE LE brush.

I complete two passes on the cheeks and three on the neck. I apparently had a set down error on the check in front of my right ear. Yes......we have a weeper. I did not even feel it but noticed some red stuff accumulating while working on the neck. It will be okay. As dad used to say......
It will grow back.

I hope everyone has a great day and weekend.

 

E. A. Berg, fresh from a scale swap to give it some classier ‘shoes’. Soap was MdC rose and the AS was Czech and Speake 88 - lovely pairing.

 

awesome Danny..beautiful pic.well done..

 

Did those ladies themselves get a touch up by any chance? Looking sweet either way

 

Yes, the blow-by-blow is in the honing thread.

 

Yes, absolutely great colors in that image Danny!

 

I was wondering about their coloring - they look a little bolder than what I remember

Max Sprecher titanium scales
Brush: Shavemac
Suds: Mike’s Natural Wild Honeysuckle

I love using this 10/8 beast.

They do, Alfredo polished the scales too and removed some oxidation. and of course the metal is terrific. He does good work.

 

Kind of early for a.Christmas Shave.
The sharper the blade, the less you will feel the cut.
