Ask me about shaving naked!
Classic Thiers-Issard, soap was SV Asylum 4.3 ‘Clone-ia’ lathered by a 22mm M&F Blonde Badger, and the AS was Fine’s Italian Citrus. Great way to start the weekend.

Engström today.

Double post.
Rameau 8/8 rattler, Semogue 1470 boar, Tabac with tallow, and Floid genuine.
For the very first time, I shaved my entire face above the chin line across the grain. Feels freaking great! It was all about figuring out how to stretch the different areas of skin.

I like that At Etienne rattler Matt, lovely razor.
Jonathan Crookes rattler up today, soap and balm were ABC red sandalwood, and a big Simpson’s 59 did the lathering.

An improved performance from this razor after putting it through the HBA again. The edge is smoother and crispier in the 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

The little Berg, in new oak scales (saved the lead wedge). Some guys don't like shaving with these skinny framebacks but this one, as dainty as it is, has never bothered me. Stropping and honing can be problematic though, I've dug the edge into the stone more than once and the original floppy scales didn't help. Since it was pinned without collars, the pins had sunk into the hard rubber enough that it couldn't be tightened. All good now, though, and wearing a fresh Ark edge for a great shave.

Boy, a busy morning and late post. Interchangeable (lever) blade Derivière, 51 Rue de Lyon, Paris. Soap was vintage Strop Shoppe Black Tie tallow lathered with a SOC boar, and a splash of Myrsol Blue finished up.
It’s always interesting to see what is now at the location stamped on your razor, so here it is, a bagel shop!

Been ages since I built this razor and carved the scales. Not sure o
f the stamping but I went with cherry blossoms and a cherry red wedge.
Man can this thing shave!

It’s been suggested that I post these here even though they aren’t really framebacks/rattlers, but they are kind of half a frameback. They’re orihi kamisori, ‘or‘ meaning ‘gutter’ in Japan, so ‘gutter type’ kamisore. The omote side is functionally a frameback, but the ura is not. These are an old design the type that the Buddhists first brought to Japan centuries ago. There’s a hone stowed in the bottom of the box, and a nagura in the top compartment. This set was made in the late ‘3ps or early ‘40s.
I only know of three sets, mine, Jethro (Fikira) had one (now sold) and @Luecke2326 has a set.
The most ‘different’ thing about them is the lack of weight, each one is under 30g. They shave very well, and like many framebacks and rattlers that we see posted here, the steel is very hard.
