What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Dovo 6/8 Bismark 2
This was the maiden voyage for this NOS 7 year old Bismark.
I love the looks of this straight .She has great balance and handles extremely well .The factory edge was acceptable .But I think she will get a refresh on my Escher or Felsner Ruby hone .Very pleased with this razor.

 

Geo. Wostenholm & Son’s Pipe razor
Rubberset 400
The Sudsy Soapery Jack Frost
Shulton Old Spice to finish

Enjoy your shave!

Wednesday Shave
13/16 Japanese Straight 94 Bellman Task Purpose Moribvden Steel Monarch Cutlery Works

Had a suburb shave with this razor .She took an extremely keen edge off the J-Nat but still retains a soft and smooth feel .Great weight for a hollow ground razor .Removed whiskers with little effort .Lovely Japanese Razor .

 

Thiers Issard 7/8

 

TI Basic Black hollow 7/8, I shaved with it then refreshed the edge for tomorrow's shave, testing a new stone. AdP lathered with a Simpsons 58 and topped off with Lucky Tiger.

Cheers, Steve

 

Today shaved with a NOS Yukisada 13/16 Japanese Frameback. First shave with this one, some great heft to this razor!



Tried out the new Omega boar brush and SS...and a few experiments

Tried a preshave treatment using a Stirling Lime Coconut shampoo bar...
Experimented with a combo SS/SC type concoction...mixed Cremo, M-Bomb and Omega Soap together and was treated to a really great lather! It seemed to keep expanding as I used it!?! Nice menthol tingle, a good froth from the Omega and a slick protection from the Cremo. The boar brush whipped up the lather well...if you can get around the smell that's a great little brush!

Finished up with Stirling Barbershop AS, ahhh refreshing!

Enjoy your shave!

A fun change of pace... an asymmetrical Kamisori. I do keep the stamped side (Ura) out and Omote side towards my face. I end up with some very weird contortions, but it is fun.

Razor: R. Saito
Brush: Semogue Owners Club 2012 SE Badger/Boar combo
Soap: Vintage Williams
A/S: Razorock Irish Countryside

Enjoy your shave!

Pretty much the same shave as yesterday but with the TI 7/8 edge refreshed on the new kid stone, and the smoothness is a bit better. Looks like I got a good rock.

Cream was AdP lathered with a 3-band HMW and AS was Harris pink.

Cheers, Steve

 

Great shave today, with an Extra Hollow Ground razor. I had 3 days of very thick, wiry growth, and this razor mowed it down, like it wasnt there. The results were a BDBS(Baby Dolphin Butt Smooth) shave. This a fantastic, non-big named razor.

Razor- M.L.Brandt Cutlery Company, Germany & New York. "Brandt No.115". Extra Hollow Ground blade.
Brush- B400 By Tom(@twhite ). WD Boar Hair Knot. 2 hairs shed. Tied for #1 of my favorite brushes.
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy scented.
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. Mmmmm Mmmmmm Good.

Thank you! I have this sickness of trying to turn shift knobs into shaving brushes.
