What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

I think if I ended up with a head injury bad enough to not be able to watch TV, I would hesitate to shave with a straight. Not saying I wouldn't, just that I would hesitate. Great photo. Hope you feel better soon.

Michael did a nice job on the jimps

 

Well I shaved last night not knowing how much time I would have before church today so I used my Dovo Gentleman 5/8 round toe. Wonderful shave and followed up with Layrite No. 9 Bayrum aftershave! Mighty clove like this formula.......I feel like a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving more or less.

 

today I used the spotted emperor
it's a J.A.Henckels twinworks #81, 4/8 full hollow.
and I think it is called a French tip, y'all correct me if I'm wrong.

Birthday shave...

Razor = Celtic Wosty
Soap = Lea shave stick
Brush = VDH Boar
Witch Hazel

Excellant Shave today This Blade is worth it's weight in gold... very smooth shave especially on the neck I believe the shape of the blade makes it easy to shave with the tip naturally and gets into the hollows of my neck with little effort.

This razor is also going to be my 30 day focus for July...Take care.

Wasn't able to shave for 4 days because of a really nasty cut on my dominate hand! Finally did a complete shave with the SR and had one little nick by Adam's apple. This Shumate rocks and has an awesome edge after a good strop!
Two slow passes with straight WTG & XTG and did a touch up with the Slim but it was very quiet as there was not much left to cut. Finally found the right angle for the straight and it just glides so smooth when all is right!
Got an awesome BBS shave!
