What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero, cream and AS were Trumper Eucris. Wonderful shave indeed, I wish that Trumper would up their game with the hard soaps, many of their scents are really nice (though Eucris seems to be rather polarizing).

 

Did someone say National Tequila Day?!?!

Victor Creazzi 7/8. He named it “Bone Mosaic”. It’s a SanMai constructed, pattern-welded Damascus. His process results in apiece of 1095 steel for his edges which are truly amazing! I’ve been maintaining the great edge with Howard Schlecter’s 4-sided "Constroption” which features 4 graduated pasted sides (0.5 microns, .25 microns, 0.1 microns, and 0.05 microns). I’ve been amazed at how well it’s been maintaining my edges.

 

Vintage Thiers Issard Bijou de France, cream and AS were AdP. A perfect shave for a warm Sunday morning.

What is that funny tool you might ask
That my friends is a “Snurdle Dipper 2.0” something I invented many years ago
They are used to scoop out a perfect snurdle of cream or to scrape off the perfect amount of soap
They have never been sold, only gifted.
Pretty impressive first outing on the HG Slate
Shave on !!!

 

Very nice Glen!

 

Beautiful razor, Glen! I got the slate you recommended from Jeff. It’s 7 x 2.5. I’m looking forward to trying it.

 

Jgreenpea, that is a beautiful razor. Stunning.

Glen, you always present some amazing razors. Outstanding.

Thanks! Unlike many other contemporary makers Vic makes his own billets from scratch by sandwiching 1095 and 15N20 steels. According to my son who’s an aspiring bladesmith, Vic’s SanMai billet technique is uniquely his own and represents true forging mastery!

 

That is a beautiful razor.

Thanks, Scott! Vic delivers his razors with an amazing edge. I know some of the bumpy hones guys argue that no one can hone a straight that’s as sharp as a Feather Super AC blade. They just haven’t shaved with one of Vic’s razors! I own two! This one and a shorty, both of which possess an edge every bit as sharp as a Feather Super!

 

Novodur 14, soap and AS were Floris 89, and a Simpsons 58 did the lathering. I am slick and smooth!

 

I just cant help it-those Filarmonicas are just so intoxicating with their fluted scales and semi-transparent acrylics. Like an Asian girl with long hair. Please don't tell me that they are bad shavers. I want to keep the fantasy alive.

 

They are TERRIBLE shavers, if you ever come across one of these dogs, send it to my pound!

Freshly rescaled and honed… love bringing an old wedge back to life.

Enjoy your shave.
