What's new

What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

Following the recent shave with "Sunday" from the WWII-era NOS 7-day set, I spent most of Monday refining all the blades and edges. I'd now rate the set pretty much 'shave-ready' and today took a ride with the Tuesday blade, which did excellent.

Literally just finished the shave using NO Barrbarr (thanks Wilkshire13 for the sample). It was soft and squished to the bottom of the bowl, added a little water and got a good lather. It was slick and cushioning and gave a great shave. To me it smells sweet and a bit like ginger bread. Quite nice.

Ask me about shaving naked!
Round 2 with the orihi kamisori, The Yama-Dai (top) is now honed and in good order, and was ‘butterknife’ smooth. The tapered one was good, but noticeably not as smooth as the other two - it’s fighting me a little. Always a problem child in the lot with straights! So back to the hones once again, but the bevel is good so there will not be much wear, just a refinish. Not that there would be a lot anyway, these razors are of super hard steel.

Soap was I Coloniali Mango Oil and the balm IC Rhubarb. A Keyhole 3 did the lathering. Super nice shave, powdered BBS.
