What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

The angle is similar but the strokes are different for the smile. It makes shaving the neck easier.

 

Thanks Tom! The seller on Ebay also had the white-scaled Herders, but I bought a Wolstenholm instead. I hesitated for days to decide if I wanted a Herder that when I pulled the trigger, all the white-scaled ones were gone. However, my black Herder is a beauty.

 

Thanks Brian! Now that I have a total of 9 traditional straights, 4 that are vintage, it's hard to choose which razor is my favorite and also to shave for any particular day. I don't know how anyone with very large collections does it.

 

You are well on your way.
I just like to think I have lots of backup razors.

 

Joseph, that is a nice DD!

 

Thanks Giuseppe.

 

This morning’s shave was the test of my 1-stone hone edge on my Gold Dollar 208 test razor, honing details are in the honing thread. Soap was,MdC fougere lathered with a 3-band lotus-type brush, and a splash of Myrsol Agua Balsamica finished things up. Great shave, close, smooth, and comfortable. Now back to our regular programming....

Cheers, Steve

 

Bom bada Bling!

Thank you MISTER Fancypants!

 

That’s MISTER fancypants to you, Joseph!

 

It was a Japanese Razor day today. Very nice 2 pass shave, with minor touch up, around the chin, left me BBS. I do like most Japanese razors. They usually use great steel in their blades.

Razor- Japanese "Old Cherry". Silver Steel blade. 1/2 Hollow
Brush- RazoRock 400, WD High Mountain Badger.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Decanter, Flying Cloud.
