What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Eisenbart

 

Shave 31. The John Clarke was calling to me and this was my second shave with it. This thing is surgically sharp. I dipped the point a little too much on one stroke and it made a nice little slice that took the capillaries at least 10 seconds to realize they had been cut. Because it is so sharp it's a great teacher of a light hand and staying on top of all variables.

This was my closest overall SR shave yet and the alum was relatively mild. It's starting to rival a decent injector shave.

Tonights 3 pass shave went quite well. I was able to clean my chin up. Thanks to a tip from @Karl G. .

I really like this brush with my shaving cream. Thanks Doug.

My razor was nice and smooth today. I payed attention to making sure I pulled my skin tight. Big help there. I am still at a loss on my neck. I need to go from ear in.

Have a great rest of the week

I have modified GD that shaves great and looks cool. I already shave today so I will use it for the next SR shave.

Kooool!!! I'm eagerly awaiting the pics.

 

Kevin..When Honing those Frame Backs are You Using One Layer of Tape on the Spine like a Normal SR & is there Anything Different about Honing them.....I Maybe onto One at the Moment..

Billy..

 

Yes, just like a normal SR. In my experience, most FBs don't seem to be as prone to spine wear as the traditional SRs, making them relatively easy to hone.

 

Vintage Solingen-made FW Engels 'Leader' 13/16 round point; Stirling 'Orange Chill,' Kong 26mm synthetic and 'Executive man' aftershave balm. Lovely three-pass shave.

 

That's Loud & Clear Kevin..

Oh..Yeah..I Got One Just there..

loving this Santa Paula, scent is spot on with its reviews. Got it for a Disney trip for my daughter last month, figured it would be perfect for Florida. I was not wrong. The edge on this blade is fantastic.

 

Tonights shave was buttery smooth. A Tungsten Steel Japanese razor that I had been having issues with was fixed. This is the first shave, newly honed. Two pass silky smooth shave. I couldn't expect better, at this point.

Razor- Vintage Japanese "Towa" Extra Tungsten Steel.(Very hard metal)
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Brush- Semogue 1305 boar
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. MMMM Good.

 

Here it is a Vorpal that started life as a GD. I did not do the modifications but bought it this way. An excellent shave today.

 

Nice metamorphosis

 

Nice, very very nice. Makes me wish I had the tools to do stuff like that.
