What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

11/16 H.M. Christensen Brockton MA
Had a lovely shave with this razor .Took a great edge of my Translucent Arkie.

 

Today's shave was with another little known razor. It mowed down three days of growth in a hurry. A 2 pass shave left me BBS, with zero issues.

6/8 Wustof
MWF
Cashmere knot

Sharpened on Charnley Forest. Very nice shave this morning even though I didn't have the best lather. I approached it like I would with a badger and had a little too much water for the synthetic. I seldom have any problems with MWF.

Finished on a black arkansas. Could'a should'a been better. I'll drop down on the stones and work myself back up to finishing on the black. Have a good one.

That shave stick and AS are a couple of my favorites. Did you bomb the Brisk??

 

I didn't bomb the Brisk, but I did add a healthy dose of menthol crystals to it. I put 4 drops of M-bomb on my brush after the first pass, so passes two and three were very cold. First use of a shave stick, and it went well. Also used a face moisturizer with a Jasmine scent. Combined with the Brisk, it made one of the coolest scents I have ever used. My wife even liked it.

 

Today's shave is a Frameback Razor, comes from the land of Sweden. Freshly acquired, restored, and honed. I had a nice 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. Only one little weeper under the nose.

Razor- Joh Engstrom. Eskilstuna Sweden. Frameback.
Brush- B400 By Tom
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Avon Spicy. Avon Model "A" Decanter.

 

Okay, I get it. The frameback is coming out tonight

 

Peer pressure is rampant, around here. Strop it if ya got it.

 

That shave is a cool combo... the frameback, brush, mug and the Model “A” just works!

 

Thanks, sometimes I get lucky.
