What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Wednesday's shave…near repeat of Tuesday's, Fon, fun ,fun….

 

Henry Sears and Son Queen 5/8

 

Catchup on my last two shaves. I am turning into a Catt person. (Cattaraugus, that is.)

 

Careful you don't accidentally lop off your cat whiskers!

 

today I used
Dovo 98 Pearlex 5/8 full hollow round end

I slowed my roll a bit. I was rewarded with a nice comfy close shave.
I've got one spot on my neck that's difficult to reach with a straight.
inability to stretch the skin is the cause. today I took my time and concentrated on form.

well that was different
today I used a new to me razor.
Wostenholm Celebrated IXL 9/16 medium hollow barber's notch
it came in not shave ready.
after some reading and practice on another razor, this razor went to the pyramids.(10 down on 4k/8k) add a few laps on apache strata. 60 laps bench strop. 20 on Adam's custom before shave.
wow talk about a man's razor. no distracting sound of whiskers being cut. no feeling of soft forgiving edge. this is a sharp, heavy little piece of steel. it took a little bit to get used to it.
four passes to get everything smooth, and I ended very smooth. maybe a couple weepers under my chin.
definitely requires ones attention.
have a great day.

 

First shave with this unique Wostenholm frame back…

 

Revisor 8/8

That's a sweety! Big hunka Solingen steel!

 

Tuckmar recently restored and scaled by holyrollah
Phoenix Acoutrements 11235 - scent is great, lather thin
Floid blue
Brushcraft handle with a FS 26mm knot set deep
wonderful shave today but had to add crème to the soap to get it slick and thick

 

I tried the SG 20K on it last night. Today a one pass close shave.

 

The SG20K is simply magical.
