What's new

What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

This wasn't up in the rotation but it suggested itself...no regrets! It seems to really shine with an ark edge.

#25-Friedrich Baurmann & Sohne "Comfort 40" - Cella, a vintage Fuller Badger knot & Clubman - I had extra time this morning, so why not? 2 DFS SR shaves over two days, zero irritation=Veddy Nice! It's the first straight I purchased and honed, and it shaves great; so it's odd that I never think to snap a photo until after everything is cleaned up and put away. Maybe it's just a reflection of it's no frills, "just here for the shave, sir," attitude and workaday appearance.

This morning's shave was with my Revisor 6-0035. Face lathered with tallow Tabac and Chinese guaranteed genuine pure best badger hair synthetic brush.

With my normal passes of WTG, XTG+fool's pass and a second XTG in the opposite direction, I achieved my desired DFS+ result. What I did notice was that this Revisor is slightly better with the fool's pass than the George Butler "Shakespeare" was yesterday. I will put the George Butler through a full diamond pasted balsa strop progression today to see if I can get it up to the Revisor's standard for next shave.
