What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Nice Dorko. They are great razors.

 

Completely agree.

 

I love my wife... allowing me a full day playing with razors. Finished a shorty, had fun making some wood scales, and literally watched the paint (actually resin) dry. And that was a really nice, relaxing day!
Have to get this razor back to its owner... one last spin.
Wacker Best Tradition
I had thought most were 1/4 hollows... this has a nice bellied full hollow grind.

Enjoy your shave!

Had a lovely shave with this razor.Love the soft Sheffield Steel with a German Full Hollow grind.Was a real pleasure using this blade.Double jumps were very nice.

 

Another great page of gorgeous razors...
The Koraats do look lovely and the scales on the Engels and the Boker are over the top!!!
So Keith, I am countering your 14 2.0 with what I will call my 14 0.75. I guess that will work for a shorty designation .
Gold “14” recently reprofiled and in shortened scales. Tried out the new stone by setting the bevel and taking it through finish... nice razor and nice stone.

Enjoy your shave!
