What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Thank you.

 

I love the big Revisor. Nice horn scales.

 

Thanks, I did. I bought the blade without scales.

 

6/8 Tillotson wedge with a slightly oblique point. Another outstanding shave this morning. Have a great Friday folks!

 

Very Nice job on the scales

 

6/8 Grelot
De Vergulde Hand
homemade boar (rehandled a knot) white/bottle glass green
444 Balm
Very nice shave this morning. Have a good one.

Red Imps: two of 'em newly-honed and side-by-side shave comparison of a 5/8 and a 6/8. (pictured). Lovely razors and extremely smooth shave!…

 

Love the MDC

 

Very nice Kevin you don't often see a 6/8 Red Imp I may have been tempted to keep the few NOS ones that's passed through my hands If I had come across a 6/8.

 

Jamie, since this was my first go with any Red Imp, I came away very impressed with the razors. Both honed easily, took keen edges and felt very comfy during the shave...

 

That is a beautiful razor!

 

Follow up day with the Cape Kennedy after a touch up on the hones. The shave is good, but not as good as I think it can be. I'm going to reset the bevel and take it up through the hones. A razor like this should be performing as well as anything. @lindyhopper66, I'm curious to get your take on yours when it arrives...

 

could be your choice in soap…...

Still a beauty of a razor, however!

 

I actually expected these types of remarks from The Peanut Gallery...

 

I have 2 Case Imps, one I gave to my son-in-law, both were 5/8 and absolutely great shavers. Nice find on the 6/8.

 

Mike,

I've had my Cape Kennedy since Wednesday but haven't used it. I took your advice and touched up on 12k and added CrOx, diamond and CBN. I'll try it tomorrow morning.

Joseph Rodgers & sons—after another 'to the hones' where I finally reduced the 'heel hook' down to an acceptable level...
Heel hook:


..and used both my new Chosera bevel setter and Apache finisher. The result of my efforts was an incredibly wickedly-sharp edge that provided an very smooth shaving experience with this challenging razor!

 

5/8 Le Minet
De Vergulde Hand
TGC synthetic knot rehandled
Nice shave this morning. I'm starting to like this knot. I haven't decided to try and get a couple more mm out of it but it's a good face lathering brush. The only problem is that I've been obsessed with boars for quite a while. Have a good one.
