What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

So what are the advantage Of such a wide blade?...do you have any pics of the blade before you finished it?

 

Bengall 6/8

​

 

You and me both. I'm currently questing for the PERFECT Sheffield straight to finish of my 14 straight collection (sold off all of my other Sheffs) and a GB in primo condition would be perfect!

 

I think this is the earliest photo I have of it...at this point I'd done some general shaping. I did bob the tail a bit at the recurve.

 

Weltmeister 225 6/8

 

Willy Lange.
This is one of the first razors I rescaled Some time ago.

 

Wusthof Trident stainless 13/16 - one of my best shavers thx Jamie Mahoney for the swap
Martin de Candre lavender with a dab of Coates Lavender crème
Floid Blue
Rooney 26 mm silvertip

 

6/8 Wacker Inox
MeiBner Tremonia/Strong & Scottish
homemade boar
Excellent shave this morning. These MeiBner Tremonia soaps are a delight to shave with but honestly I find them lacking in post shave feel. That last statement pertains to me, YMMV.
Have a good one.

 

Vintage C-MON Caddy and an excellent boar brush near identical to the one depicted above….

 

Hayashi Diamond Schoeller Bleckmann Process Steel

​

 

That Bleckmann steel is some of the best special steel the Japanese ever produced. She holds an edge for a good while, I'd bet.

 

C. V. Heljestrand mk no 7.

 

A. Calio Trapani boehler stahl steel brought back from the dead by Kevin (holyrollah)
B&M Seville
Floid black label
FS 28 mm silvertip

 

Another Böhler-Stahl razor….Solingen!

 

Kevin really did knock it out of the park with your shaver!

 

Nothing wrong with solgin steel.

 

In just a few days I'll be posting on this thread. Dec for me is going to be straight razor month. I'll be using a no tang stamp razor and I'll be trying out a wedge that is being sent to me on loan. Its been a long while since I straight shaved so I'm using a rolls as my training wheels. I'm hoping to only have the training wheels for 6 days per razor at most. I might have one more razor but that depends on if I can get scales on them and manage to get them sharp with my not quite fine enough stones.
