What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Tonight's shave was with an old Sheffield razor. Very smooth 2 pass shave. Thanks to the Arkansas Surgical Black Stone, touch up. Almost BBS results, with zero issues.

Razor- Tillotson's Celebrated Razor. Sheffield
Brush- Zenith Boar
Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Florida Water

 

Leresche Frameback

Everything was top notch this afternoon. Really like the Avon Wild Country.
My newly restored Rubberset 200-4 is great.

To be honest - this is not the best razor in my den. But I like it because it has my name on it
And this particular Route 66 soap was not my favorite scent at first ... but the more I use it, the more I enjoy it. Not much left thought - my sample might only last for 2 more shaves.

Have a great day everyone!

today i used the Cattaraugus 11/16. with Cella cream and splash.vey nice
also have some good news. @Billyfergie dont have to eat his socks lapped the black ark to 1k and then dry polished with 2k wet/dry paper,dry polishing is recommended on the ZG so thought it was worth a try on the ark as well.there was an edge improvement.not huge but some.

 

I finished a couple of razors on the Arkie yesterday and the Wester Bros. was one of them. It provided a very nice shave but the difference was not as much as I expected. When I finished, I realized I had not completed the process by stropping the freshly honed blade on the scrub and finished leather. Arghhh. Needless to say, the other razor I took to the Arkie has now been properly stropped and is ready to go on Saturday.

Tonight's shave was with a problem child of a rescue razor. The Surgical Black Arkie solved that. Very smooth 2 pass shave, with Dolphin smooth results.

Razor- J.A.Henckels 472
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. MMMMM MMMM GOOD

 

That is a scary looking razor. I've given up on spike points and heels.

 

Some American Steel, Challenge Cutlery. This was a challenge to get a good shave, initially. It took three trips to the hones to get it dialed in. What an exceptional razor since then. A nice heavy smooth shave every time. Three passes tonight for a smooth BBS comfortable shave.

Sorry Tom, if you make those shoes, I don't want a pair.

 

So far only Gene Simmons has bought a pair.

I still like them and I'm no longer nicking my ears.
