Straight Razor Shave of the Day

Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
A very nice & enjoyable shave with this razor. After a full pasted balsa progression & buffalo strop, the edge was crisp, smooth, and very comfortable in 3passes for a mix bbs/dfs result with 1 red spot. I am very pleased with this razor!

Razor Joseph Elliott 13/16 "Fine India Steel" Wedge
The shave with this newly acquired antique razor was reasonably! I was surprised by how long is the edge during stropping, it's more than 3in. Would like to put the edge through the pasted balsa progression but am unsure how since it's a wedge. Let's see how it goes. Managed a quick 3passes without any issues for a mostly ccs to dfs result.

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
The more I use this antique razor the more I realize the edge is good but my techniques needed to be better. Today, the razor gives a super smooth and comfortable 3passes for a respectable dfs/ccs result without any irritation or weepers. A very enjoyable shave!

Today was the first time I have shaved with my Kropp 6/8th Razor, it was a lovely one pass shave with a little touching up around the lip and chin area. I never have mastered those areas but I keep trying.

Razor ZY430
This shave with the razor was enjoyable. The edge was refreshed on full balsa pasted progression and stropped on buffalo leather. Smooth and comfortable enough...

Razor Dorko Solingen 43 Near Wedge
This shave with one of my best SRs was very enjoyable. This razor's jnat edge after being stropped on the buffalo leather... wow, feels extra smooth & comfortable...nice! 3passes for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs results. My right neck to jawline is the area I am still unable to clear cleanly.
