Shave today was with a Merkur Vision DE
D. R. Harris Marlborough soap with a custom silvertip badger brush
Clubman Pinaud Classic Aftershave.

 

Finally! A thread that has really interesting stuff in it that doesn't give me acquisition disorder. Probably possible but not likely I would ever want to shave my legs with a straight razor. Although that damascus blade is really nice.

Try a double edge Nancy...

 

Is this like going snipe hunting... double edge straight razor?

 

No silly!! A double edge, also known as a safety razor. This is the one I used today...

 

i know a few ladys that have shorty straights. i ll have to post a shave one of these days. i dont get all that crazy with all the soaps oills creams and the like but i did make my own razor and brush (no they dont match )

 

Feather Popular razor
Perma-Sharp blade on shave #7
Molton Brown shave gel - a sample came with my soap, wasn't bad but would not buy it. More like a shave oil, no lather
Neutrogena post shave lotion.

 

Razor: KROPP 7/8 Ebony
Brush: M&F XL2 2-band Blond Badger
Soap: TOBS Mr.Taylor
ASB: D&G The One Sport
AS: TOBS Mr.Taylor

Freshly honed on the Ozuku Asagi. Very nice and smooth shave. Happy weekend ppl!

I went for an outdoors shave today.
Did the head and the face with this Damascus Buddel Custom straight razor.
Xpec cream was my choice for cream today. Alongside Domenico Caraceni, the best cream ever produced. imho

 

Wohoo Birnando i have waited long time to see your customs. that blade looks great is it a half hollow? the bevel is not super but i love the rest i have yet to try that Xpec cream.

 

It is closer to a 3/4 hollow grind. Out of all my customs, this is the one that came, and stays, the smoothest/sharpest. Love it. Tomorrow, a Tim Zowada me thinks

Oh, pick up a tub of Xpec, it is phenomenal.
And toss in the as-oil and their cologne as well. smashing stuff

 

Sweet i just got back from a friend, we sat outside honing some razors in the sun and i put a jnat finish on his Tim Zowada 2h2h

 

My wife uses a DE for her legs...does not seem to have any issues.

 

Up and about bright and early this fine Sunday.
I started with a grand shave, nothing quite like starting the day off feeling like a million bucks.
Instead of one of my Zowada's, this one caught my attention today.

It is a Robert Williams 10/8 Singing Hollow in some lovely horn made from a sketch I sent him way back when.
A Manchurian badger by Simpson whipped up Al's shaving cream in a swift manner. Talk about a lather explosion.
Finished off with some Whitch Hazel and plenty skin food by Geo F. Trumpers

 

lovely looking blade

 

i like that guy for sure liek shaving with a sharp grill flipper

 

Today I went with this one.
It was my unicorn razor for a very long time
It is a Mastro Livi Custom in Mammoth Ivory scales.
This is an extreme razor, it dwarfs most any other out there, yet it shaves pretty darn well.
Takes a bit of practice to strop it though

Honed this razor on one of Mikael's Jnats from our last honing session in his garden. Shaved with today and it was a smooth and close shave!. Great & fun session! Thanks Mikael.
