What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

What a bummer. You have my sympathy. Good luck on the honing.

 

I will allow myself two more attempts. If I can't get it right I will send it off to Glen so he can restore the edge or its prior greatness.

Wonderful shave this morning, it's been too long since I've used a soap from Route 66. Fantastic scent, great protection and the razor just slid across my face. One pass with the Supply and two with the Chimera and I ended up just short of a BBS shave. The Penhaligon's is a great match to this soap, I love the scent and post shave feel. This was a great way to start the day. Have a great day folks!

 

And that's one of the reasons that we keep him around

Gotta git me one of those froggy razors one o these days.............

 

Tonight's shave was with a superb shaving razor, that was freshly honed. I had a ultra smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS, with zero issues. Excellent razor.

Razor- Harthy Razor. Made from Austria Phoenix Steel.
Brush- Semogue 1800 Boar
Soap- Stirling Spice
Aftershave- Osage Rub

 

Tonight's shave was with Japanese steel. The Japanese make impeccable Cutlery, and this razor is no exception. Two passes and a done deal

 

Koraat 7/8 with a 3/4 grind.

King Pelican#14, excellent razor and soap combination.

 

Beautiful stuff. It's hard to keep up with the "Jones" around here. Nice old Boker Kevin.

 

I don't even try.

 

Wednesday turned into Wedge day this morning. Certainly one of my nicer looking razors this wedge has a shave all it's own. It definitely is heavier in the hand and requires more pressure. But the alum is nearly silent afterwards. Smooth and silent - a really nice shave.
