I used my Saturday straight which is my Hart Steel 6/8. I see Hart Steel is now making 5/8 straights which can be seen at Classicshaving.com. Oscar, you usually color coordinate with your shave bowl, brush handle and scales. I do that too, and I enjoy seeing your daily pic. :-)

unknown 8/8 Sheffield wedge

homemade brush

I had to go out of town yesterday to pick up some flooring for a project I have going on and checked out a few antique stores. I found a couple of razors. One was this 8/8 Sheffield wedge which provided a fine shave this morning. Have a good one.

Picked up this razor last weekend. Honed and finished on natural stones. Very nice shaver. Needs a bit of work but I'll get around to it eventually.

Tonight's razor was the quarter hollow stainless Heljestrand 6/8 Viking. Love the way it cuts.

Thursday Thanksgiving day's straight razor was the Dubl Duck Special #1 6/8. Fairly new to me, it's providing some good shaves.

It's been a few days too long, but I finally got around to using the Filarmonica 14 Novodur tonight. Here's a SOTD photo from a couple of years ago.
