What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

ok, I admit it, I’m a Vic Creazzi fanboy! This is the second of two Damascus razors I’ve acquired from him. Unlike my other, this is a Shorty. Just a magnificent mug shave this morning!

 

That thing looks terrifying!

 

Really?? What do you find frightening?

 

6/8 Le Grelot Lotus, rescaled in ivory by ‘mycarver’ before the ban. Soap was MdC rose and the post shave treats were Czech and Speake 88.

 

Wednesday morning shave, CVH MK No.31. Really enjoyable shave. Splash Floris 1976.

It’s hot and humid here, so I went with MdC agrumes and Myrsol limon for the software, perfect for the weather. The razor was a M.K. 133, one of my favorite C.V.H.

 

Hey, @Tedolph , you thought my Vic Creazzi Shorty was “terrifying”, take a gander at today’s straight! It’s one big honkin’ stubtail!

 

Jonathan Crookes
Brush: Stirling
Suds: Stirling Coconut Lime
Splash: PAA Coconut Bay w/Lime
A heart shot out of a pistol… great mark.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom

 

Nice stubtail @jgreenepa

@TestDepth coconut lime is a great summer scent! Love the Crookes, I have one on the way that I hope will clean up nicely. It has a small chip near the heel, so I’m a bit anxious about the impact of that, but we shall see!

 

Want to have one!

They’re nice razors Hans, the one in ivory is, according to Arne (Polarbeard) over at B&B, a M.K 133 prototype made when they still had some M.K. 33 scales left. The stabilizer is different from the later one in black plastic scales, but both shave the same, very good! Basically they are a M.K. 33 with a straight tang and plastic scales, as was the wider No 140.

 

Thursday morning shave, 232,,Respect. The blade is labelled:
Svenska ( KR 7- ) Frisörkniven. That means “The Swedish Barber Knife”, KR 7- I suspect was the price, 7 Swedish Crowns.
Splash Floris 1976.

Today’s shave: H. Hobson 6/8 Wedge (Mug), Eclipse Red Ring (Noggin)

 

Férèt Fréres frameback from about 1935-36 Soap and AS were Stirling tangerine, with a F&F alum block (they’re still in business), and a two band Rooney copy by @life2short1971did the lathering. Perfect for a 94F day.

 

Friday morning shave, Kayser Ellison’s, Sheffield. Really nice shave after rehoning. The Yaki-Ire makes the job done.
Splash Floris Turnbull and Asser.

Great shave today! I have Tom (@TestDepth) to thank for this morning’s straight razor shave.

 

Hope it’s treating you well Jeff.

 

Those Herder 49s are great razors.

Mr Crookes and the new JNat delivered the goods this morning, soap was Stirling Lime lathered with a ‘Buck Rodgers’ two-band, and the AS was Myrsol Limon. I am BDBS!

 

Beautiful example of a Crookes - blade and scales!

 

Thank you Tom!
