What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchel's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Jayaruh #340 Badger
Luxor Pro Master
Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Florida Water

Early morning shave today. The Mitchel's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Luxor Pro Master and Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I am headed to Washington, DC, with the Blue Ridge Honor Flight to visit all the war memorials with 300 other people. If you care to check us out, they will be posting on their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/blueridgehonorflight/

 

I don’t like wedge grinds but I seem to have gotten very comfortable with the near wedges. Smooth and close with this lovely Ragg.

Beautiful blade!

 

Thank you! I don’t see to many of this maker’s razors out there, but he looks to have a passion for Japanese razors and knives.

 

Your the first I've seen in the wild ! How's it shave? I took a look at his website he's reasonably priced to, I may have to pick one up!

 

Seems like a quality build. Very tiny razor but a nice change of pace. Great look and fun to use.

 

Monday morning shave, Gipson 7/8”. Smooth as a peach . However it’s always better with hollow grounds.
