What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Dorko 858

I bought this vintage NOS Dorko from a Canadian collector years ago. I was rushing to get out the door today and noticed later that I had only done a north to south pass on the face and neck with no other passes or touchups. They weren't needed. I told Scott (DaltonGang) that my 84 straights have hardly ever needed any touchup, even CrOx for many years. All I do is strop on linen and then leather. This Dorko has never been on stones or film or paste. A great one pass shave.

Beautiful razors Scott!

Seems like the Swedes has a finger in more or less all shaving tools. Almost all razor blades are made from Swedish stainless steel.

Thanks, but they aren't mine. They are @lindyhopper66 's. I just borrowed them.

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Red
Jayaruh #443 Synthetic
Classic Samurai
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Proraso Red Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #443 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Classic Samurai Shavette Razor and a half Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Maiden shave with this sweet MK 31. It just got back from some loving at the Gemstar Razor Spa and Resort - new shoes, new wedge, and new edge. Another @gssixgun edge joins the den and it provided a super, easy peasy, efficient and smooth shave
