A well loved W&B Celebrated with its original scales and patina. It still provides a fine shave.
Nice!
I've found out that sticking to the same razor for a week has several advantages. The most obvious one is that the shaves get even better since you have time to really adapt to the razor. What's less obvious is the joy of carefully picking the next razor, that is to be a bit different but still something you've really been missing. So after given it careful consideration this shoulderless Törnblom was chosen for the upcoming week. It's not a beginner's razor but it (and other razors of the same model) are amazing shavers when in able hands.
Oh yes nearly forgot; the cub still hasn't beaten his old man in chess, but I fear that the day is nearing when he does.
I wish you all The Best.

Not in the same league as the lovely razors in this thread but today I used my only straight razor. This is a Japanese Derby Aiku, Simpson Chubby 1 Manchurian brush, home made Old Spice soap from a beautiful Shulton mug, and vintage 1977 Shulton Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Old Spice after shave.
Wade & Butcher "The Arrow Razor" 6/8, can't decide whether to mute the point or leave it as is.

Sunday morning shave: Arne's weekly pick of his beautiful Klas Törnblom reminded me that I hadn't used the one that I have in awhile, a 5/8 and a terrific shaver.

Proud of this shave because it was the first one I’ve done with a blade I honed myself. Might want to touch it up a little, but it cut more than 24-hours worth of growth and no nicks or weepers.
