What is the blue custom looking razor?I've used DE razors for a few years, with a very simple setup: Butterfly from Executive Shaving, Arko stick direct on my face... Then the razor decided to start losing it's plating on the handle after a year or so... So I looked to upgrade it to a SS one....
That lead me to Razor Emporium YT channel, and me buying a Rex Ambassador -- and an Outlaw... So far so good right?
But, on that channel, they also had videos about using a straight razor, so me, being curious, bought one 'shave ready' old Sheffield off eBay. That was early July... And now I got a whole *ton* of them, because well, I need to know what I *really* like don't I? Also being a tinkerer, I bought some to restore, and put them in rotation as well. And I got a couple 'customs' on order; one from Yurii, and one from Drew Dick (whose workshop is 15 minutes from me!)
Anyway, long story short, I'm now hooked to straight razors, which also lead to build up a collection of soaps obviously!

Ah yes very nice! Thought I recognised it, think I saw it on ebay a while backIt's a custom E.Brice razor (#38) I bought it the previous owner, who can't use it anymore as he is on blood thinner! It's quite fancy, with Sapphire embedded in the spine. 7/8", 1/2 - Gives a nice shave, I like 'smiling' blades and this one is just the ticket.
It was! TBH I made a very cheeky offer on it, because well, I didn't need it at all! The nice chap very surprisingly accepted it...Ah yes very nice! Thought I recognised it, think I saw it on ebay a while back
Very very cool! Not just the collection, but also the offer to sell it back to the guy, given the circumstances. Great to have you on board, except now I'm having razor envy, with a mere 5 or so straights to my name, none of which is a Drew Dick...!
I had a close look at Koraat's -- I even 'specced' a razor -- but I think that for now, I'll stick with Yurii and Drew. I got an ART razor that is almost finished (custom!) and well, Drew is expensive but having had a few in hand I know why so ultimately I'll probably save my money and order from him!The pride of my collection and pointiest is the Koraat 14/2.0 Square point bellied hollow which I obtained from Blademonkey in the BST section. It's a beaut and shaves beautifully but I did once open my cheek up with the toe in a moment of carelessness. No harm done, but my nickname is now Al Capone...
What a great collection of beautiful razors!I've used DE razors for a few years, with a very simple setup: Butterfly from Executive Shaving, Arko stick direct on my face...
