What's new

What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

Picked 'Der Kayser' up from Rasoir Sabre France. The tang is marked with crossed anchors and "Jürgen Hammer Geschmiedet in Solingen". This is a very standard blank forged in Solingen, of course, but just what did Jürgen do?

Hairop Barbers 1st Quality by Tanifuji
A&E Asian Pear really getting low now
TGN 23mm boar

First use of the boar, though I did presoak twice. The soaks made it puff out quite a bit when dry, but still a bit of a struggle to generate lather. I’ll try to keep focusing on this brush through the next few weeks.

Second shave on a Feather Pro in this CJB holder. I'm curious to see how long this blade will last after my experience the other day when a blade with either 2 or 3 shaves on it basically quit cuttingat all. I have suspected for some time that my chin whiskers are rather wiry and destructive but I may have some confirmation of that today. My 3rd pass, ATG, started out buttery smooth on my right cheek, got a little more resistant on the chin, and was actually harsh for my left cheek. I guess I'll find out in a day or two when I go for shave number 3.
