Straight Razor Shave of the Day

[chard52142]

Another long work trip. For the first time, brought a few of my fav SRs
Razor Friedr Herder Abr. Sohn 77
My first travel true SR shave! Brought 5 for this long trip and started with this excellent razor with a smooth and comfortable edge. 3passes for an acceptable ccs result with 2 micro red spots. Really enjoyed the experience...SR shaving on the road!

Razor Dorko 43 Near Wedge
Lovely shave with this excellent razor! Extra smooth and comfortable after some slow stropping on buffalo leather in 3passes for a ccs-sas finish...

Razor Wade & Butcher 7/8 "Steamship" Wedge
I am just partial to old heavier grind razors...and this heavyweight is a softy despite the look. The edge is excellent after putting it through the buffalo leather...

Nice razor Richard. My next straight needs to be a heavy grind old Sheffield, preferably English toe or barber's notch, as all mine are extra hollow and either round or square points. I can't justify any more the same, even if a desirable Heljestrand or Japanese, both of which have tempted me lately. I have to try a bit of heavy British vintage steel, even if I ultimately end up reaching for the 5/8 rp extra hollow most of the time.

Hey, much thanks for your comments! I do agree to get an old Sheffield, especially the heavy grind types...it is necessary for the stable. I patiently hunted for it and now am very happy. I have 2 Japanese and that scratches the itch but would love a Heljestrand...ideal is the frame back but it is hard to find a good one that's affordable for me. I recently acquired an old french frame back and now waiting for it...
Somehow I just love the heavier grinds...
