What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

cools stuff right there

 

Clauss U.S.M.C. 13/16 3rd day of using this one of 7 days planned, awesome shaver
Castle Forbes lavender crème - IMO the CF cremes are the best available
Brushcraft handle with 24 mm extra density silvertip
Floid Blue
antlers from a deer shot in South Dakota about 15 years ago View attachment 78424

 

C-MON HF - Keen, smooth little shaver! ('Little' compared to the large Leader used yesterday)

 

Dorko 856​

 

Nice - what kind of brush is that

 

It is a Shavemac D01.

 

This thread is going to be bad for my bank balance. I am resisting the urge to visit Whippeddog, Gemstar customs, and ebay right now.

Switching to traditional shaving will save you money from expensive cartridges they said...

 

So far I have only spent about $400 on traditional shaving and if I didn't buy anything else I could comfortably shave for the next 3 years so I could see the savings if the ADs would stay quiet. When do the ADs ever stay quiet?

Restored George Wostenholm & Son 'Pipe' 7/8" — a birthday gift purchased by my wife at an antique store in Grass Valley for $20.
A lovely gift that has turned into arguably my favorite razor…
'happy birthday to me, March 2014'….razor in need of some new scales and blade clean up….

 

Now that's a classy razor

 

And a hefty one, too! Those old Sheffield wedge/near-wedges pack a lot of steel!

 

HolyRollah, excellent job.

 

Oh boy, I miss driving through grass valley. I used to be stationed at Beale AFB. Nice restore.
