What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Tonight's shave was with a wonderful razor, that I love to shave with. I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, that I don't thing could have gone better. I had a DBS shave, with zero issues.

Razor- J.A.Henckels 74. Spike tip
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Okina 翁 KJKMA 5/8. A beautiful shaver always close, always comfortable.

 

That Stirling barbershop is fantastic soap. Of course clubman is as "barbershop " as it gets. Thanks for making my choice for tomorrow's shave

 

Verinder St Pauls

Very nice shave on my newly honed straight. These near wedges are so quiet compared to hollows. Once I found the angle after a few short strokes, smooth sailing. I will be keeping this one.

A Smashing Shave this Morning with My French Special Monneret 6/8th..I Just Finished My French Special Monneret 6/8th on My Newly Acquired Surgical Black Arkansans Stone..My 2nd Pass Wasn't Needed But I Went for the Auld Guardsmen's Drill Boots Polished Finish on My Face..This Black Arkie Seems to Perform Much the Same as My Translucent Arkie..If there is Any Difference We are Probably Talkin Baw Hairs is All..

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

Nice picture Keith, I really like the effect.

 

Silverloaf kamisori

This wide 17/16 blade and a thick grind. It does not make a noise but it is very sharp.

 

Thank you, Keith. Have a great day

 

Two Clauss for comfort....

 

At first glance I though the as said "Cuir Carnage"

 

Tonight's shave was with a razor I've not paid much attention to. Now I know why. It has a baby frown on the heel end. It's not pretty, But it gave a fantastic 2 pass shave, with DFS results.

Razor- Dorko Super Extra
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Stirling Barbershop

Really nice two pass shave ending with a pretty good finish, from my Challenge Cutlery str8.

 

Awesome combo. I like the rustic look of the razor. Straights were meant for shaving with. I enjoys using my seasoned looking one's more than the ones that look NOS. More character.

Vintage Friedrich Wilhelm Engels "Leader" 13/16" round point

 

Beautiful razor! You don't even see customs coming out that come close to the scales on some of these vintage pieces. You sure have a knack of bringing back the beauty of these old gems

 

My first kamisori. Wonderful shave.

 

This particular beauty was one of the rare NOS razors I managed to acquire: factory edge; still wrapped in the original brown paper.

 

If my 1941 Russian is possibly my favorite, this 1970s Russian from the STIZ factory is a close second. Wonderfully sharp but smooth, it left me with another face-rubbing goodness shave this morning.
