I currently do one day straight shave, one day DE.
The quality (closeness, irritation-free) and after-shave feeling of my DE shaves has increased dramatically after I took up full straight shaves.
Nothing is accidental. ;)

EJ black badger
Merkur 34C HD

Wednesday

Merkur 38C
Iridium Super Blade

I've not used an Iridium blade for ages, and I'd forgotten how good they are/were.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
FH Tech handle/Stahly head (frankenrazor)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
vintage Aramis 'Havana' EdT

Man, I gotta say this Stahly head provides me with an excellent shave........kinda like a Tech on steroids. Mild enough to provide great comfort, but effective enough to whack them thar whiskers without a problem. This Stahly is definitely one of my favorite fixed head type.

BBS results,

Martin
