What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Flic 6/8. Great three pass shave. The Flic is wearing new shoes. If you ever find the opportunity to score a Flic; Do it!

Saturday Straight's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Van Der Hagen Luxury
GarnerPW IX
Dbl Duck 5/8
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Speick

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the GarnerPW IX synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Dbl Duck 5/8 and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Speick AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

K.C. Seelbach “Buddy” 5/8. Another fine example of Solingen craftsmanship. Silky smooth three pass shave to start the holiday weekend. Enjoy your day, gentlemen

 

Thank you. BBS shaves, nimble for its size, and sings nicely.

 

It was time for me to break out the Genco “Red Cross”.

 

I forgot how nice this thing shaves
Feather AC SS.

 

6/8 Wacker
Stirling Lemon Ice
Cashmere knot
My photo host has been down for a couple of days. I shaved with this set up Thursday. Nice shave, almost too much menthol for me in a soap though I enjoy a very cold aftershave. Edge was finished with a Charnley Forest and I think I prefer the Cashmere knot over Tuxedo. Have a good one.

 

Filly 14
AOS Oud
Simpsons Manchurian

This mornings shave. I did this blade with my Arkansas stones including"Black Dick" my black arkie (we've had a bit of a love, hate relationship). I think me and "Black Dick the pirate" have finally have an understanding of how he works. I have no idea how many times I've reworked this stone but I think it's close to "right" now. Very good shave.

 

Crandall Cut Co from Bradford, PA in obnoxious orange scales.

 

Adam, them orange kool-aid scales are awesome!

 

I bought a Dubl Duck with them on there, and hated them. They have grown on me since. I love them now.

 

I apologize if you have shared the details of this razor before, but I needed to ask. This looks like a beautiful cross of an Ern Ator’s humped tang with the gentle blade curve of an SK3. I find this shape amazing!!! Did you have this commissioned or have the details of the design?
Thank you.

 

I’ll jump in line behind @oscar11 ’s Filly 14...

Razor: Filarmonica Sub Cero 14 with a slight shortening

Soap: Sudsy Soapery Cola

Enjoy your shave and your holiday weekend!
Tom.

 

Thank you. I actually bought this razor used. It looked good in the picks so I went for it. The prior owner tried to remove a scratch on one side but it came out looking like a smudge so I was a able to buy it for a nice price

This year I discovered I really like smiling razors. SK3 is on my want to buy list.
