Which straight razor did you use today?

Use a straight. You know it makes sense.

For the second day in a row, I went with the Filarmonica 14. For stropping, I used the Illinois 827, both sides, followed by the Martin Rubin horsehide, both sides. I like the heft and feel of this one.

Not really a straight but my buddy let me try a shavette he had today. Boy that must take getting used to. Plus that little half de blade doesn't do much.

Last night I used the Hart Steel 6/8. After a good pre-shave stropping, I got what I consider one of the smoothest shaves ever.
