Been thinking I should get my straight razor gear out again and use them more

Well it’s that or sell it… can’t just sit around.

Sell the straight razor directly too @rbscebu he'll be happy to take it off your hands, as long as you pay for the postage cost

I love it, I've been using it every day since it arrived. I did a little write-up on it here.

Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Brett Mozingo - End Pieces with DG 26mm B3
Razor: H.Boker&Co. Finest India Steel with ornate Gutta Percha handle
Soap/Aftershave:- RazoRock - Medico Della Peste

The Boker was a bit rough and I have never achieved an optimal edge on it, so took it out for a few laps on the original 12K JNAT (or CNAT) with 8 & 10K slurry stones.
Still a bit rough, so refined it on the translucent ark with slurry and finished on the wee thuringian. Completely transformed the edge.
