I had a Wonderful Shave this Morning with My Puma 6/8th..The Blade on this is Very Thin by Design & Seems to Hug the Contours of the Face..It has a Real Keen Edge & I Just Love these Scales..They remind me of a Camouflaged German Panther Panzer Tank from the 2nd World War..

I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

I used my Engstrom frameback this morning. After 2 1/2 passes (chin and upper lip get the 1/2 pass), I had a real DFS!

I just Honed this SR Tonight on a Lapping Film Progression System..The Seller I got it from was a Surgeon by Trade & he had Put too Fine an Edge on it & it Collapsed I reckon after the 2nd Shave with it..I was Only intending to have a Test Shave with it but Hey..I wasn't going to Cut Around with only Half my Face Shaved..

The Edge on this SR is as Keen & Smooth as any Razor I have that's been Honed by a Professional..I have been Honing SE Hollow Ground Blades for sometime & this is My 2nd SR that I have Honed..I am Getting the Feeling of Working with a Longer Blade & of Course a Bit of Good Luck..

Fantastic Shave..I am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

W&B Congress Razor

 

I'm so jealous of you guys. I wish I had a little more time on weekday mornings so I could use my straight razors. I only get to enjoy them on the weekends and days off from work.

Well, at least I can enjoy seeing all of your razors here!

 

I used a 4/8 Torrey today. My second straight shave ever. I did two WTG passes on my cheeks and one on my neck.

 

I have seen some razors with curved blades like that - does it really make any difference, or was this just marketing?

 

On most of my razors, I do angled passes that are the equivalent of doing a Gillette Slide on my neck, chin, and jawline. The curve in the razor makes those easier to do. This razor has lost it's smile and been honed to a straight edge. I imagine a smiler would work well, but they are harder to make and maintain.
