What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Beautiful razor, Steve! Fili's are on my WTB list, but I just haven’t found the right one yet.

 

Thank you Jeff, They’re not rare, but a 14 in good condition will bring a price comparable to nice German 7/8 like Dorco, Bartmann, etc, IOW not cheap.

 

The EPBD redeemed itself today after having gotten a light refresh on the stones. Smooth and clean.

Nice shave, setup and pic, Blair! You don't see the trip spades very often on the Herder Scales. Great looking razor!

 

Tuesday morning shave, TH Bergholtz Sunne Sweden. Needs to get some honing, otherwise it’s a good shaving gear.

Just awesome! Great razor.

 

Thanks, Tom! It’s one big honkin’ chunk of steel!

 

Beautiful razor, Karl!

 

Karl and Jeff are putting out some nice steel for certain, congrats gentlemen.

First outing for the C. Miln, quite a good shave but I think that it could be better with a little more ‘love on the rocks’, lol. Something for tomorrow I suppose. Hans, you’d either like or fear the steel in this thing, it makes a Tornblöm look soft. Cream and AS were Acqua di Parma and a M&F Finest did the lathering.

 

Damn, I am just going to get one of those bottles of Myrsol aftershave-I really don't care what is inside it. And then I am going to get one of those Filarmonica razors-I don't care what it costs I am just going to get one. And then I am going to get that shave soap that comes in an aluminum UFO tub. And then.......

well.....

I am not quite sure what I will do after that.

I just know that I will be done.

 

Ha, @Tedolph don’t get the L’Occitane Cade soap in the aluminum UFO bowl - it’s been reformulated (and the old version wasn’t great but it smelled good) and gets panned by everyone. The good news is that L’Occitane sells the bowl without the soap.

Myrsol is good stuff, and it looks like once you buy the fluted bottle - which they are maybe discontinuing? - you can once again buy 1 liter refills from Gifts and Care for $22. I haven’t tried yet but a liter of Limon is looking pretty good. The postage was reasonable a few years ago, No idea what it is now. They apparently got caught shipping alcohol (after shave) in a shady manner.

 

Thanks, Steve, but that is one nice stubby!

 

Great razor, Blair!
