March SE Maddness

I am planning out my shaves for March. I decided that my SE razors have been a little lonely lately, so I am giving them love during March SE Maddness. Here is my line up in my newly christened "Fortnight Razor Stand."



Front row (left to right): Schick C, Schick E3, Eversharp-Schick G3, Eversharo-Schick I Hydro-Magic, Schick L, Gillette Injector, Pal Injectomatic
Back row (left to right): Gem 1912, Every-Ready 1914, Every-Ready 1924, MMOC, MMCP, MMBT, Gem Pushbutton
Bottom: Bunny V3

I am planning to use the injectors first followed my the Bunny, and then I will do the Gems. That will make 15 days of shaves. I will repeat. I will also be using my straight on the weekends. If needed, I will use one of the SEs as a back up. I will rotate soaps daily, too.

 

Jim, I will join the party if that's okay. I'll be rotating through my injectors and SEs.

Schick G1, G8, I1, J1, L1, M Adjustable
Personna Injector
PAL Adjustable injector
RazoRock Black Hawk SE
GEM Pushbutton and Featherweight SE

I may not rotate through a soap daily but there will be a good many soaps used throughout the month.

 

That is cool. I am looking forward to this. Maybe we can get some others to join us.

 

I had planned on starting with the Schicks, but when I started taking my pictures I had a senior moment and took pictures with the Gems first. That is ok. I'll get to the Schicks next. So, tomorrow, I will shave with the Gem 1912. I will also be using my newest brush, the Jayaruh #144 with an Ace finest badger. Here is a sneak peek.

Gem 1912

The TSD Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #144 finest badger brush. I did two passes the Gem 1912 and CVS SE blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I'm beginning March with the GEM Featherweight. It was smooth and comfortable this morning. Nice shave in the end. The soap of course contributed to a nice shave and Route 66 is top-notch.

Have a great day!

 

It seems like every day is an SE day for me now. Between my SEs, injectors and SRs, I haven't used my DEs much anymore.

 

I'll be joining in with a line up of Schicks vs Gems this month.

 

I haven't used a DE in almost a year! Injectors and SEs just work better for me.

Wonderful smooth irritation free 3 pass shave this morning. The Reef Point soap was easy to lather and slick. The AlumiGoose took care of business. Really couldn't ask for much better.

Rudy Vey Rover with TGN Finest​

Reef Point Dragon’s Blood​

Floid Blue​

​

A wonderful this morning. The Rover easily whipped up the Dragon's Blood into a rich slick lather. Sticking with a traditional 3 pass shave, I paid particular attention to my trouble spots as I went. This resulted less touch ups needed to achieve a near perfect BBS with one small weeper. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Black Hawk today. Decent shave - not my best. The new blade felt a little rough. Maybe it needs to break in a little bit. I still enjoy the Black Hawk a lot. The Stirling products were terrific as usual.

Have a great day!

 

Very nice setup, Clint. Really enjoy the brush handle's color and love the contrast of the razor handle and razor head. Enjoy your Saturday!
