Very new to Straight Shaving. I've been gifted a Ralf Aust and won the razor I used today. Bought a Gold Monkey. So I'm pretty much set.
Today was my 4th shave with a Straight. 90% done with it. Only part I had to use the DE was on the curve of my chin. I'm waiting till I have a week in before I attempt it.
3 passes and have a BBS shave. This razor is very smooth and efficient. Dillon at www.fretzwerks.com did a great job referbishing this 1924-1935 Boker King Cutter with cactus and resin scales.

One of two I did. Lot of work, but looks like a candy apple! :rofl2:
They have the seal of the State of Texas on the bottoms. One silver, one brass (Brass collar by Walleyeman). Two different reds.
