Which straight razor did you use today?

Use a straight. You know it makes sense.

Friodur 72-V (6¼")

Certainly no Dovo "Prima Klang" (Great Sound) as the ¼ hollow blade makes only a muffled sound when stropping and shaving, but what a shave!

An exceptional razor with an exceptional shave today.
Probably the best I had all month. :)

Friodur 17 ½

Nice shave, but not as nice as the 72-V yesterday.

Hart 6/8 - great shave, smooth and close. Hardly makes any noise at all as it competently goes about it's whisker cutting business.

5/8 French made Size-Gold

Morphed SOC, homemade handle

I'm going to mess with this knot one more time but it'll probably call for a rehandle job.

Shave of the week so far, very nice. It's been awhile since I've used Mystic Water and I'd forgotten how good it is. Have a good one.

Oscar, I mean this very sincerely, that homemade leadwood handle, in the size and proportions shown, is the best looking brush I have ever seen. I've seen a lot of beautiful brushes, and this is equal or superior. Period!
