Lots of great sightseeing today. Here's my morning's contribution. Simple and austere.
What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES
- Thread starter California Cajun
- Start date
Today’s choice was from one of my favorite makers “ Filarmonica” along with Razor Master Uula soap and a RV custom badger and then a good splash of Small Batch Shave Tonic.

I've had my eye on a couple framebacks pretty similar to yours. You aren't making it easy to restrain myself, so... thanks for that!
Life is short, my friend. Get one. Everyone should have at least one frame back. I've thoroughly enjoyed mine.

Joe Edson 6/8 Suminagashi Western Grind with Yellow Ray skin and cord wrapping.

I believe the expression is a Winter Wonderland.
That was the drawing made of me when I said god bye to this razor. I wish I had more of them to spare, but somehow they've become very hard to come by the last years.The flagship of my collection, straight from the white bear himself. The soap I used even has a scetch of Arne enjoying an adult beverage.

A very beautiful specimen.
... and very elegant.
A very bad photograph, but you get the picture.
GD62. Did not like this one at all. My first GD bust. The $4 GD66 runs rings around this design disaster. The soap was a pleasant surprise. Not Shafmilch but decent.
Thanks for the warning!
What’s so bad about the W62?
This is my opinion only and others may love it BUT: the blade is too short, the razor is too light, the French point was distracting (I have a Boker with a Spanish point and have no problem with it),I found it awkward to hone and for some reason it seemed a bit harsh even though honed exactly same as my others. The harshness most likely had to do with my unfamiliarity with the razor. I m trying different GD’s to find a style of razor I like before I spend money on a more “refined” one. As of now, it looks like a round point 6/8 is in the lead - just a standard ole razor looking thing full hollow rather than extra full.

Aah... thank you.
Very rarely do I shave with the same razor twice in a row.
This production from the Sanjo Forge makes a worthy exception.
