Which straight razor did you use today?
Re: Which straight razor did you use today?
I am very happy to say I used the recently restored W&B Sheffield Wedge this morning. I decided to make it a simple one pass shave since it has been several weeks since my last SR shave, and the result was quite acceptable. Later today I plan to post the SOTD photo to mark the occasion.

Second day enjoying the W&B Wedge. I stropped 25 strokes on linen and 50 on leather. The result was very good.

Today's razor was the Wade & Butcher Barber's Notch, not a full wedge grind. Another smooth first shave. Glen did a great job on the new faux turtleshell scales.

Mühle RM 30, ⅝ carbon steel razor
Better known for shaving brushes and safety razors, Mühle had also a single straight razor in their program (currently out of stock, but according to Mühle to be re-introduced when stocks arrive).
Picked the razor up for only €53 (incl. 20% VAT) on a trip to Vienna, Austria, which makes it one of my cheapest razors, but the price is deceiving as the razor provided excellent shaves.
I normally prefer larger razors, but the RM 30 was an offer I coudn't refuse.
