Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Wash
L'Occitane Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #2
Rocket 5/8
CWR
Florida Water

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The L'Occitane Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 brush. I did two passes with the Rocket 5/8 Razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Love that blade - I was lucky to have that as my first straight. Welcome to the forum.

It was my first traditional straight as well. I also have a Dovo 5/8 Best half hollow as well. I originally started out with a Dovo shavette. Eventually, I want to get one more straight to complete my den. Next year, I probably will get a Boker, an Aust or a Henckel. Yes, I know about RAD, but I think 3 traditional straights are enough for me.

 

Todays shave was with a German Made razor, that takes on a wickedly sharp edge. I had a silky smooth, 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. Great razor. Everyone should own one, no matter the condition, as long as it can take an edge.

Razor- Dubl Duck Special No 1.
Brush- Omega 10098, Boar.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good.

 

3 great options to add to your toolkit .
Please keep us informed on your decision making.

 

Took one of the Friday restorations to the hones and then to the face.

I haven’t searched hard, and can’t say I have stumbled across this brand, but it is a 14 so the expectation is high.
So nicely behaved on the hones - set a bevel quickly with a 4k. Then went quickly Naniwa 8k/12k, then Thuringian... wonderful Sunday.

Enjoy your shave!

First welcome to @Trigger

Mastro Livi Gifretto

 

Keithmax, thanks. However, custom razors by Mastro Livi is too expensive for me.

 

It is not a custom, he has a line of non-customs that are priced at just expensive. Your Dovo Special is a very nice razor too. The fun about straight razors is that one can find a great razor for low price and they all have their own character.

 

gorgeous razor..

 

Thanks Gary. I hope my friend enjoys it.
Merry Christmas

Well, I guess I decided earlier than expected because I was going to wait until next year, but I couldn't pass this up. I just purchased a used Ralf Aust 6/8 Solingen Handerbeit Spanish point with Boccate scale for 115 dollars plus shipping. It will be delivered some time next month.
