Honestly...I have many straight razors and many DE Razors...BUT...If I had to buy only one straight razor experience it would be the Feather Artist Club Shavette...( of which I have several models...LOL). Nothing is sharper than machine sharpened blades and it's essentially the same experience as shaving with a true straight razor BUT you need to be much more careful (skillful) shaving with a Feather Shavette as they are much less forgiving. Cheers from Canada!!!

Totally agree , just recently discovered feather professional blades , now my litmus test for all my straight razor edges , as most can't compare .

that little ridge along the blade holder somehow makes all the difference.

Thanks Michael. I agree it's hard to beat a shavette style razor, and it's a more dangerous tool than a straight for sure.

Awesome advice! You make a valid point about shaving soap/cream with expirations. I was starting down the rabbit hole but as much as I would like to buy, I have to just be happy with what I have!

Yeah, it's fun to buy new stuff, but at some point you have to use it.

What wise words, Johan!👏....I'm struggling with the term "nerd" 🤓 😅 straight razor shaving is far too bloody for nerds ! What a comprehensive talk! Your a paragon of knowledge and ability. And all you said is true 👍.

Few days ago, I got my first straight razor. It’s a C.V. Heljestrand MK No4. The razor arrived in perfect condition and truly shave ready.

Started out a few years ago on Boker Classic Spanish tip and Omega 48 (pig). BTW I couldn't avoid some degree of "soap craze" but managed to keep it to the most "popular" ones, like Proraso and Cella from Italy, Tabac from Deutschland, Monsavon au Lait from France, Arko stick from Turkey, Vergulde Hand from De Nederlanden and so on.... I'm afraid I'd need three maybe four faces at this point to run out of soap before I die, specially considering the fact I usually let my beard grow free every year march to august/september.

It sounds like you are set for life. At least some of those soaps should be of OK quality for many years.

Question: from your experience, are the thinner ground razors (full hollow) or the heftier ones (half hollow, wedge) which the most comfortable?

@Shave_n_Butcher 3 ай бұрын

Hi Howie. It really is a matter of preference. If it's a good quality razor that has been honed properly, it's always a nice experience.

Hello @shave&butcher what is the brand of the black strop ? Where Can i buy it ?

@Shave_n_Butcher 3 ай бұрын

Hello! I don't know the brand of where you can buy it, sorry. I am the third owner. I believe it is from Australia, but that isn't of much help.

It blows me away how great your English is. Is that normal in Sweden? Btw great video. Been fascinated with straights for years- but all they require scares me right back to my double edge lol. Seems like a steep learning curve 🪒

I lived in England for a while and I speak a lot of English in my job so that helps. Thanks!
