6/8 Johan Engstrom Frame Back
What straight did you use today? Now with PICTURES
- Thread starter California Cajun
- Start date
Wade and butcher 9/8... Big heavy blade, sharp edge makes for an easy bbs... Add some alt innsbruck and makes for another perfect shave
"Easy peasy what a sleazy" - rip tripper
I did not know you could get these custom engraved. Let me know where you arranged this. i'd like one that says "Handsome" on it.
The maker had a special "Odor" series; tbh, I thought it was "Odin." Live and learn . . . .
Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co 6/8 Heir Loom, so-called Rattler or Faux Frameback
Back to my Beau Brummel 18. Mostly a really smooth, comfortable shave. (Having an extra day's growth helped) no sting on the AS, which is a first for me, but I still need more practice with the square point. Still can't seem to get a shave out of it without at least a small nick.
No pics today. Was too busy caring for a pretty good cut on my neck when my wife startled me this morning.

Freshly touched-up Henkotsu - stunningly sharp
I Coloniali soap - stunningly rich (and the scent is stunningly weird)
QCS key lime aftershave balm - stunningly soothing
Result: stunningly nice; a very smooth DFS to DFS+ shave that was quite fun. Mmmmm...shaving...
^Stunning Kami!

Thanks. I believe it's actually a pretty basic model, but to me, the edge and the shave are more important than how it looks. I enjoy seeing other people's gorgeous razors (including your Craftsman - how on Earth did you get one that pristine?). If I had an NOS straight, I'd probably hesitate to use it, for fear I'd somehow mar it.
I am kind of the same way. It took some hesitation before using it.

Great lines on that razor, Richard. Very clean.
