What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES

[Green manalishi]

This one is interesting.It’s another of my vintage online finds.It was cheap and had character.
the scales are hand made as well as the pins.
It’s a Joseph Elliots blade that is ground very thin..It took a very nice edge and is a joy to use ATG.”I challenge the world”

Wostenholm & Sons faux frameback
A&E Peach & Cognac
Muhle Pure Badger

One of my favorite razors due to its unique character. From the side it looks like a shoulderless extra hollow, I design of which I have several examples. But below the wide spine this is is actually a narrow wedge. A very mellow shaver with a tip that screams “let’s go after those nose hairs!”

I'm in a bit of a hurry so this will be a very short presentation: The photograph says it all really.

Today I was comparing the old Valobra-made Czech and Speake soap to the newly minted one, so a bit of an odd SOTD image today. Results are in the Czech and Speake thread in the soaps forum. Brushes were two Keyhole 3 and the AS was Czech and Speake 88. The razor was a freshly honed Filarmonica 14 Sub Cero.

TIA,

Part 2 of my Henckels weekend - today with a yellow theme:

J.A. Henckels Friodur 17 7/8 inch, stainless steel, singing half hollow
Zenith M5 27.5 mm 2-band Manchurian badger with olive wood handle
Stirling Glastonbury with Orange Chill
Myrsol Agua de Limon

I really like this razor. Really sharp edge with plenty of heft. I think I can tell the difference between my carbon steel and stainless 17s. The carbon steel 17 feels a little crisper.

I have not used the Zenith for a while and forgot just how soft but firm their Manchurian badger is. If you want a nice badger without breaking the bank, Zenith is an excellent choice!

First time using the Agua de Limon. Simpler and refreshing citrus scent. A winner!

I used my Feather SS today with Mystic Marrakash shave stick (not my favorite scent), Truefitt and Hill pre-shave oil, my Beaufort B1. Today's shave was a terrific start to a big week. Today was also a horrible

hair day, hence the Truefitt and Hill Limnol hair tonic. I hope everyone has an awesome start to the week!

 

[TMacpherson]

That is a stunning razor! I'm green with envy.
