What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

R. Saito
Brush: Chisel & Hound
Cream & Lotion: AOS Ocean Kelp

An asymmetrical folding Kamisori for Saturday. Normally Saito is synonymous with smiling razors… this gave me smiles.

Enjoy your shave.

That is a gorgeous picture and shave!

A relaxing shave today, that took care of several days growth. It was a smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Zero issues. A fantastic razor manufacturer, who I have never had a bad razor from. One of the best.

Yama Dai orihi kamisori and possibly tamahagane, a razor that’s not original to the set, circumstances unknown as the set dates to the 1940s. The steel in all three razors is extremely hard, like hard Swedish steel. Soap was MdC agrumes and a splash of Myrsol Limon topped off a good summer morning’s shave.

 

SOTD MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, 2021

BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Knurled Aluminum Handle Hybrid Knot #007
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Alt-Innsbruck.

 

Thank you Hans! Resistance of The Resistant is futile.

I need to search for my 1166 to join you.

 

Beaujeu Aine
Brush: Polar Metalworks
Suds: B&M Cheshire

Not exactly sure what I have here. I know it’s French, and Beaujeu looks to be about 140km from Thiers. I saw one post stating Beaujeu Aine was a well known cutler in Thiers, but I didn’t find anything beyond that (in what I could read ).

Just not feeling these scales are original to the razor, as they don’t fit/feel right, and there was definitely some blade work, in that the spine is wonky. But with all that said, it was a very enjoyable shave as the pink Coticule delivered again.

Enjoy your shave.
Tom

 

C. V. Heljestrand M.K. 133, soap was Martin de Candre original and a splash of Myrsol Agua Balsamica complimented the aired-out MdC scent nicely.

 

Want to have, want to have one!!!
