What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

My Kiebitz razor was up next in the rotation this morning. It was a fine two pass shave, with minimal touch up required. This razor is a talker!

 

And it's a beauty. Love the looks of that spine.

 

Thank you!

Tonight's shave was with a wonderfully smooth Japanese razor. Its a thick, non-flexing, not too noisy blade. I had nice two pass shave, with zero cuts, nicks, or weepers, just smoothness in the end.

Whoops! Good thing I wasn't nekkid when I took the pic

 

I used my Morley and Sons "Damascus" razor this morning. I did two passes and just a little touch up and ended up with a mostly BBS shave all around. It was also a very comfortable shave, with very little burn from my aftershave.

As I've used up all of my Stirling bay rum soap (I'm a use it till it's done person). I enjoyed the lather and loved the scent of it. It's a soap that I will buy again.

I've started with my Chiseled Face ghost town barber. It has a nice, but very mild scent. Maybe I'm losing my ability to smell things. However, the lather did not disappoint as it was quite slick and creamy! I think I'll like this soap.
