Straight Razor of the day

[Michael Phillip]

Recently @Longhaultanker and @NurseDave shared their travel setups in a video. We are traveling this weekend, so I thought I would share my humble traveling gear. I like to keep things simple, so 1 brush in a leather wrap, a razor that doesn’t need to be stropped, and the soap and splash I got for Father’s Day. On a side note, I keep my alum in a small plastic bullet box. As a reloader, I have a few of these laying around. I might even have one that would fit a Proraso alum block, that I could PIF to someone in Arizona.

Razor Ribbon 1000
A nice enough shave with this razor. 3 smooth passes for a sas finish. Still trying but not pushing for a clean sweep on the problematic neck area. Avoiding issues are primary for now...

A nice enough shave with this razor. The edge is keen, smooth, and comfortable. 3 silent passes for a sas result without any issues.

This evening I was inspired by @luv2shave to use the Dovo Bismarck that I recently acquired. This is my first Dovo straight razor.
The brush is a Maggards SHD, and I made the leather case to match the razor.
