What Straight Razor did you use today?

C.V. Heljestrand MK 31 (17.5mm) Full Hollow Gilded Scales

I believe this is a one of a kind straight razor.

Dubl Duck Special No.1 5/8 hollow

Today and tomorrow I will be shaving with this pair of C.V. Heljestrand MK 3s1 (15mm) Full Hollow Ivory

Bismarck Registered 5/8 hollow

Today's shave will be with an early 20th century example of globalism.   A McPhearson Bros. Glasgow, razor made of Sheffield steel and ground in Germany.  While, I'm not a fan of globalism, this is a really nice shaving blade.  The scales are, of course, not original.

I thought the DOC was the "double open comb" safety razor? I know PAA has a couple shavettes as well...


Last night I used the Red Imp 5/8 near wedge

It is the double open comb indeed. It's an excellent razor. If you tighten the blade down all the way it is very mild, but loosen it a 1/2 turn or two and it becomes more aggressive/efficient.
