What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

I love that blade style, I have 2 Simmons Hdwe razors and one torrey with that style (well very similar if not exact) blade and LOVE shaving with them!

 

The iridescent green brush handle is awesome!

 

Its funny but when I have Mycarver do a restore for me I like for him to at least take a few swipes with the blade as well. Dont know why...just do.

 

A fine shave today!

Man, I've just got a soft spot for Le Grelots...

 

I have tonsorial gem in a 7 day set of Wm Elliot blades and it is an excellent antique razor.

I have an MK31, 4 and 9 but would love to have the larger MK33 like you have.

 

They are a tough razor to find. I was VERY lucky when a fellow on another forum responded to a "wanted" ad I'd placed. The razor is NOS/mint and the scales are the nicest ivory I've ever seen. It's a honey for sure.

Keep your eyes peeled-they're out there!

 

I had offers from two sellers in Sweden and one in Belgium for around $250 to $300 and decided against at the time.

 

I think that if they were in fine condition, today that would be money in the bank!

 

Yes, they were in top notch condition. I could still backtrack and find one from those guys, but I've been trying to cut back on buying and do more selling. More than 100 straights left.
