    I have always liked wooden merchandises. The texture is pleasing to the sense of touch and sight. What are some of your favorite wooden handled straights?

    I like m my Dovo Flowing with Grenadille scales, is it is more commonly referred to as African Blackwood. I too like wood. All of my guns have wood grips or stocks too.

    Among new razors, I think the Dovo La Forme (6/8) is beautiful. I believe the material is actually "multiwood," which is a water-proof "wood substitute" made of polyester resin. image.jpg

    In the realm of disposable blade straight razors, the Feather Artist Club DX (stainless steel blade holder) with Teakwood scales is a beauty. The standard FAC DX looks homely beside her...

    Thiers Issard favors natural materials on their beautiful razors. These three stunners have long been in my inspiration file...

    That's some good great recommendations. I am currently waiting for the Antiga Barbearia de Bairro shavette. Can't wait for the delivery to arrive.

    hey! the shavette is here!! it works really well. I just have to adapt to it as the unfamiliarity is causing my cuts and nicks. Does anyone know how to fit a half DE blade between the tines when they can't be individually rotated from the pivot?
