What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Wash
Eureka Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #314
Dbl Duck 5/8
CWR
FD Old Spice AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Eureka Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #314 badger brush. I did two passes with the Dbl Duck 5/8 straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with FD Old Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today's shave was with a Newly Acquired, Complete Restore, and Freshly Honed razor. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, no touch-ups, that left me with a BBS shave. Zero issues. This razor takes a scary sharp edge. It isn't a beauty, because it was almost solid rust, when I got it, but it sure can shave.


Razor- Taylor "Witness".
Brush- B400 By Tom. WD Boar Knot
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Admiral Decanter

Thanks for the window view. Where is this?

 

Henckels Friodur 8/8

The hurricane has kept the humidity so high here in North Carolina that I have to quickly wipe the lens dry before and after every shot.

 

Gd66 once more. Although, I do think my stropping skills have gotten better because the edge has held up pretty well for, I think, a week and half worth of face shaves and hasn't lost it's effectiveness. Mild stings from the alum block tells me, I need to work on my technique a little more. Lol. All in all, good shave.

 

Today's shave was with a Japanese Razor, I haven't used in a long while. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left BBS results, with minor touch-ups around the chin. This is a very good razor, that had been well used, in Japan, before I acquired it.

Razor- Bostom 123. Chemical Steel. Japan.
Brush- RazorRock 400, and WD High Mountain Badger. The Best 400 replica I've seen and encountered, except for the one built by Tom(@twhite ).
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice

 

That is the view out of my bathroom. I live in Seoul in an area called Youido, it is an island in the middle of the city along the Han River. I am on the 25th floor.
