What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Beautiful razors today gentlemen, well done!

 

I need to get one for my collection, everyone I talk to like them a lot .

 

They are alright, but I really prefer older razors, with a little more character.

I wanted to use my custom ShaveSmith... woke up to a wet sink this morning and now rust all over the razor just sent it out for repairs of which Chris was happy to do. I ended up using my vintage W. Greaves and sons with some barrister and Mann Lavanille

 

That stinks... but nice backup razor and great artisan service!

 

George Wostenholm

 

5/8 Vintage Grelot 1/4 Hollow Had a great shave with this razor .

 

Freshly honed Gebrüder Weyersberg 6114 Cornet... 13/16” hollow grind.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft Bruce
Soap: LPL Rose de Pushkar
A/S: Fine Lavender Pour Homme

So that trademark got me for a bit- I was looking up horn, bugle, trumpet... finally found he trademarked Cornet.

As I was researching, I really started to like this guy! He also trademarked Submarine & Peral, which is one of the first electric powered submarine designs. I need to search for one of those!!!
Enjoy your shave!

Yesterday a Pipe razor and today a Coronet. This one looks factory fresh, any idea to it's date.

 

Keith, I would love to take credit for the Pipe razor, but that beauty was Scott’s . As far as the Weyersberg, it looks like his name was registered in 1899, but I can’t find dates for his other marks. I would guess it was manufactured in the 20’s or 30’s. This one didn’t take much cleaning at all - it was in very nice condition.

 

Those scales are gorgeous, you’re a lucky guy!

I should not be posting under the influence, sorry about that Scott @DaltonGang

 

Thank you I got lucky finding that one on line.

 

It's all good. That is one nice looking Wosty. Love the scales.

 

Today's shave was with a razor "I" just plain think is cool. Well, at least the Bow stamped on it is. I had a silky smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. No touch-ups. This is a real performer.

Razor- "Bow Razor", by Wade & Butcher.
Brush- JR#262. Ebony and Birdseye Maple wood. Whipped Dog Silvertip Badger.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Lantern Decanter.

 

Shave of the day

Soap poraso green

Hart Steel 7/8

Sometimes the Hart razors get panned and criticised for their scales too. I have 3 and all take nice edges and I never had an issue with the razors. This one is my favorite a big 7/8 with a heavy grind, it takes a nice edge, easy to maintain or hone and provides an enjoyable shave. The scales are not refined or classy, they are kind of crude but it adds to the charm.
