What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Nice looking Wade and Butcher. I Especially like the scales.

 

Starlet

 

A really nice shave with my frameback. It’s been a while since I used it. This one definitely requires some adjustments in technique. But with a refreshed edge it easily took on the challenge of two and half days of stubble.

Hot water preparation
AOS Lavender PSO
Mike’s Natural Soaps Hungarian Lather
Savile Row 3824
Arbenz Frameback
AOS Lavender After Shave Balm



Happy shaving - Karl

 

Two Pass Shaving Routine..

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
Russian Dvuhzakovnaya Double Forged 1/2 Hollow 5/8th
French Fitchard Pure Badger
Valobra Tallow Soap
Logona Mann Balm

I Had a Shave this Morning with My Russian Dvuhzakovnaya 5/8th..A Very Maneuverable Smiling Blade Design this Commie Razor..By the Way..There was No Communist Revolution in 1917..It was a Military Coup by Lenin Whom was Anything But a Socialist or Marxist..The Western Powers Made a Deal with Trotsky & Lenin & the Myth of the Communist Revolution is a Footnote to History..Lenin Wiped Out the Real Marxist & Socialist Revolutionary Movement in Russia..

Stalin Kept this Con Going after 1945 in Collaboration with the Western Powers So Both Empires Could Manipulate Markets & Military Power & their Own Populations Under the Hospice of the Cold War..No Conspiracy..Just International Politics and State Propaganda at its Best..You have Been Conned..

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..

Been patiently waiting to give this one a shot. Wanted to get a bit better at stropping and general technique before I moved to it and did something stupid to mess up the edge.

I think we need to something about this increase in Japanese’s razor prices.

Repeat after me “Japanese razors are the worst, Pakistani steel is what you want.”

Nice razor

 

You have a point, Keith! Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy

 

Tonight's razor came all the way from Russia. It delivered a laser like 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. These old Russian Razors a hard as a rock to hone, and take one of the sharpest edges I've seen.

Razor- "EKSTRA".ZTV 1958
Brush- Omega Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
Aftershave- Osage Rub

 

I assume it was worth the wait... beautiful razor!

 

Not a great deal of competition yet but yes. Certainly worth the wait. I see why they are so prized. Certainly not just a pretty thing to look at.

Thank you. Must admit - Oland did not agree with me. Needed to wash off to get to sleep .

 

Nice! As the chant from the Wizard of Oz goes:
“Bolsters, three pins, and jimps, oh my!”
