What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Today - Sette Belot 7 made in Solingen for the Italian market. It has a 6/8 blade sort of plain but as nos as they come with three pin scales. Very well made razor
soap - martin de candre lavender
AS - Le pere Lucien

 

My Dad and his brother were both in the "Crotch" just prior to and during WWII and neither came home with one (straight razor). I still shave once a year with the razor he was issued (Gillette DE) with on Pearl Harbor Day. Both my Dad and his brother were there when it was bombed. I need to pick one up. I'd love to have one.

 

"pearlex"
Dovo 5/8 full hollow.
no training wheels today. three passes, straight only.
not the best shave, but not the worst, I'd pass muster.

 

Used my old Böker…the SR I learned upon.

wow, now that's a beauty

 

Kenwa Japanese kamisori grind one sided shaver - got a bbs shave today. Honed by Glen because I just could not get it dialed in. It makes an interesting shave when you have to try to get by with only one side. ( I do cheat and use the other side but very little)
Le pere Lucien soap - one of the best out there
AS - LaToja splash

 

Very nice!

 

Interesting! So, do you switch hands when shaving and how does this work if one only uses a single side of the blade? (I'm trying to envision holding the razor in my left hand, shaving with one side of the blade, then switching to my right hand and......)

 

I do use two hands when shaving with any SR so that is not a problem for me. I am right handed and cant throw a ball across the street with my left, it is useless but when I pick up a razor it works fine

 

And it shaves like a dream.

 

Thank you.

 

My three maternal uncles were on Pearl Harbor when it was bombed, also.
