What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

5/8 Beau Brummel
Tiki Bar SS
homemade brush

 

I seem to have a preference for slightly larger blades…(6/8 vs 5/8); not sure why this is. Currently in the rotation are mostly 5/8, one 4/8, and two 6/8. The Frederick Reynolds currently in Glen's hands @ GemStar is even larger (7/8?)/ Maybe when I eventually get my hands on that larger beast, the answer will be more evident.

 

Are those the original scales, Steve?

 

Dovo Favorit 10 Fritz Bracht

 

Yes, this one was mint. The scales are a little tight (short) kind of like what happens with the Red Imps but you can guide it in.

 

Very nice. My scales got cell rot and I had to take them off. I can't my Red Imp blade into the scales at all. It stays open.

Globusmen Gold No. 11 5/8, maybe only my second shave with it, because of it's small size, but my, what a nice shave.

 

Wusthof
Osma SS
homemade boar

 

I always love that Wusthof. Nice profile and green scales.

 

J A Henckels Friodur 8/8

 

I really love the look of the metal bolsters on a straight razor. I have one on the way with French Ivory scales and nickel bolsters made by Worcester Razor Co.
