What's new

What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

I really wasn´t planning to use this Puma 69 (half hollow) today, but it was so tempting. When reading German forums I often imagine that I can trace a pattern: There´s straight razors and then there´s Solingen razors and finally there´s vintage Puma razors. It might be me imagining, but I also se the a pattern in pricing, and there´s some sellers that sell vintage Puma razors under a separate section and for higher prices.

Anyhow I´m very happy to own this 69, I looked for one very much everywhere for more than a year before I found one that was both affordable and in good condition. I have a thing for thumb notch razors.

Had this Les Croix honed by Morihei San on an Ozuku Asagi in Tokyo...Never could get a great shave with it before today.
Loved the shave, the razor and...the blueish stone who took care of it.

Nice Les Croix! The same maker offered a real nice 14 for the Spanish market called Tres Cruces. You don't see many of those either.
 
That is gorgeous!

Kayser Steel, Unknown maker 15/16.. Doc Restored. The only edge I own that isn't my own :)

Wonderful shave off it today.
 
Dovo 6/8ths recovered from my mishap. You may remember that I flicked water from the Dovo and encountered the sink. I have re-created the bevel, honed and stropped. I have developed a blood oath with the Dovo. Today we worked together. Celebrate with me - first SR shave without alum! I may be getting the hang of this.
