Great morning shave.

Cleaned my shaving brushes last night, and re-honed my Worcester.

Weird, but I remember telling myself that this straight, and my Torrey, feel almost exactly the same when shaving.

Sho Nuff...both made in Worcester, Mass. So they probably use the same steel for their blades.

I’m leaning more and more towards wider (7/8”-8/8” inch) and square point straight razors. They just handle better for me. And the square points get to my “hard-to-get” whiskers by the entrance to my nostrils. (Better for detailing).

I might start selling-off these narrower and round-nose straights in the near future...for new soaps/balms/splashes.

But this chilly mornings shave was excellent.

Smooth as always, with a great winter scent.

Crushing life with my daughter today.

❤️❤️❤️

Un-named Razor.
This blade was passed around a little before it got to me.
Dressed in Rosewood. This odd-shaped blade shaved like a dream.

Nice photo! Those rosewood scales really do-justice to the blade -- I especially like how you positioned them so that their grain is perpendicular to that of the brush handle. The different textures of the wall and counter-top only add to it, as do the matching suds and splash. Great looking blade, sir!

Thanks.
But I just toss the stuff on the counter or table and push the button. There is not thought put into my pics. I guess I got lucky this time.
