What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Hi Robert, Michael Waterhouse is a well known custom knife maker from the UK it's his first custom razor and he kindly asked me would i give the razor a few shaves and offer him some feedback which I do gladly, after seeing some of Mikes knives I had a very good idea the razor would be top notch, I wouldn't mind owning one of Mike's creations only my one would have a few little differences such as a square toe and some jimps.

 

I like just as it is.

 

Just a note, this was my finest straight razor shave to date. I do not credit the hardware or software but rather my technique seems to be improving. I was very happy and extremely pleased with todays shave.​
