I have been shaving with straight razors for three weeks now. Heres this mornings shave. My new got today Northfield Rattler, Ive found the pointed blades take a bit of getting used to. My rotation of blades (so far J)
Bengall x4
Dovo
Frederick & Reynolds
Fromm Red Head x2
Lewis Barnascone
Northfield Rattler
The Electric Razor
Wilson
All of these blades apart from the Dovo and the Fromm Redheads which were new and professionally honed the rest were used with most having pitting and rust on them. I have ended up with four Bengalls and two (NOS) Fromms. The white scale Bengall is well worn but shaves beautifully. They cleaned up pretty well. All re-honed and stropped and now being used. With a lot of reading here and you tube, a set of stones and a jewelers lobe I can now get a pretty awesome hone on a blade. Any comments or hints would be much appreciated.
