Sticking with the heavier grinds...

Tom.

 

Todays shave was with an old "Rescue Razor", made in St Louis. I had a glass smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Excellent shaving razor, and made very well.

Razor- Shapheigh, St Louis USA.
Brush- Stirling Boar
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

6/8 Otto Busch World Master Had a Glorious shave with this Razor .BBS in no time .This razor shaves very similar to my Tiger .

 

5/8 Boker Roycrofter Had a wonderful buttery smooth shave with this razor.She sports a Black Surgical Arkansas edge .Dolphin smooth in no time .

 

F W. Engels 9/8

One pass shave for a three day growth of beard. I had touched up my blade with a Naniwa 8K and 12K pyramid followed by Gokumyo Suehiro 20K and chromium oxide. A super shave.

 

Oscar, what is the grind on that razor?

 

TI and the fat. A great combo for a bbs shave

 

Keith - Very cool background and the blade highlight just pops! Perfect way to show off that razor.

 

I know I've seen it on here before, hence I could probably search for it... okay, I couldn't find it
Would you mind sharing your 8k/12k pyramid again? Thanks.

 

Found it... Great thread!

For those interested, cool discussion on the pyramid (reply #7) and the SG20k. Hope you don't mind me sharing .

 

Thanks, Tom. This razor is very camera shy, and not photogenic. It’s really hard to show how beautiful this razor is via camera.

 

Tonight's shave was with a fine German Razor. I had a smooth 1 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Excellent razor. I wouldn't hesitate getting another, if one could be found for a good price.

Razor- Dame Stoodard & Kendall. Boston. Made in Germany
Brush- Stirling Boar
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Family Dollars "Spice"

 

Yes, that was help from Mike or @entropy1049. It really does the job.

 

Going with an older Wosty...
Razor: Pipe razor by Geo. Wostenholm & Son’s
Brush: Razorock Plissoft Bruce
Soap: Razorock WTP Blue Barbershop
A/S: Razorock Baby Blue
Funny - went from a Wostenholm tang with every letter in the alphabet to this one.

Had to take a 1/4 in off the tip but tried to mirror the old profile. And I’m torn about messing with the dyed horn scales... I dig it as-is.
Enjoy your shave!
Tom.

 

It will just keep cracking, and splitting more, unless it sealed. I've had several, that looked worse than that. I sanded, them down, then applied a lot of Cyano Acetate, to seal the scales. I then sanded, and polished them, until they look presentable.

 

Finally got my Tanifuji in yesterday. Decided to try it this morning
