What's new

Post your rotations

Yes, it is another show your toys thread, but that is part of the fun of straight razors. So, post the razors you use to shave with on a regular basis.

Filarmonica #14 DT
Filarmonica #14 Barbas Duras
Wacker 7/8 Old Sheffield in Black Horn
Wacker 6/8 Wedge in Black Horn
Wacker 15/16 Antik in Multi-colored Horn
TI Flying Tudor Rose 5/8 in Cocobolo
Dubl Duck Wonderedge 5/8
Hart 6/8 in Black
W&B 7/8 Full Hollow "For Barber's Use" in Original Mystery Scales

Two razors on their way that will likely make the cut
B&B Le Grelot 1/4 Grind
TI Le Canadien 7/8-6/8 Dos Festonne in Snakewood
 
I'm using:

9/16 Torrey Squarepoint and
5/8 Engels Squarepoint

My 11/16 Morton & Sons is off being honed at the moment.
 
In no particular order:

Dorko 586 7/8, roundpoint
Torrey 'Full Double Concave' 5/8, French point

Honorable mention:

Friodur 7/8 Spanish point, worked spine (soon...working on the honing),
Frederick Reynolds 7/8 'smile' wedge w/ notch, horn scales (working on the honing, but shavable)

Dovo 6/8 "Solingen Best Quality"
Geneva Razor Co. 5/8

I've been favoring the Genco recently, but tend to go back and forth. I've got a few in the mail that might get in as well, depending on whether they're in as good a condition as they appeared in the listing (W&B and Tally-Ho!).
 
I do love these kinds of threads too...

Here's a picture to help with my list....
