What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Hey Kevin, I gotta ask...did you ever get a nice edge on the heel of that thing?

 

I ground the heel down a bit more and got it to a level where it's quite passable. If the edge is hht4 at the toe & belly, I'd give it a hht2 at the heel. No biggie as due to the broad smile, I find myself rarely using the heel end on this Rodgers.

 

Hello everyone. Today's setup:



- Tabac
- Maggard Synthetic
- Wacker 6/8'' Stosser Wedge
- Thayers Original Astringent

 

Henckels Friodur 72 1/2

 

Schulze 192

 

That is a good looking razor.

 

SOTD: Vintage Sheffield 'Horn-of-Plenty' 7/8" near-wedge from William Greaves & Sons 'Sheaf Works.' Wonderful start to the day shaving with this heavy & silent old razor. Quality results.

 

Yes it is And the great thing: It shaves as good as it looks

 

I've had several Wackers (three I think). Excellent razors.

 

Impressive shave today from my other birth year Russian. This one is from the STIZ factory. I normally don't think of this razor as one of my better ones. Maybe because the other Russians I have tend to outperform it. But today it whacked the whiskers with great efficiency and left nothing but face rubbing goodness with minimal noise from the alum.

Oh wait, this was my first shave with it after refreshing on the Arkie some weeks ago. Mystery solved.

Tonight's shave was with a French Frameback. I had a very nice and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Zero issues. The French Framebacks are fun, relatively inexpensive, plentiful, and take on a very nice edge.

Brush- Vintage German Boar. "Oceans"
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Arctic Blue

 

A wonderful bbs three pass shave with the Flic.

Very nice shave this morning. I've been getting some good edges off my 12k Naniwa. Have a good one.

Today's shave was with a newly acquired, somewhat restored, and newly honed Sheffield razor. I didn't have a lot of hope for this one, because the Bevel and edge came on rapidly. I thought it must be very soft steel. So, on to the shave. I had an absolutely fantastic 2 pass shave, with little touch-ups. This left me BDBS, with zero issues. This will make my top 10 shaving razors.
After thinking about it. I do remember the blade was almost shave ready when I received it. It was just a mess to look at.

Razor- M.J.Higgins Sheffield. 11/16th inch, 1/2 hollow ground.
Brush- Omega Boar.
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Avon Spicy
