    Schick Adjustable Razor
    Schick Injector Blade
    Erskine K-250 Badger Brush
    Love My Skin Hawaiian Sandalwood Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

    First time using a couple of things today. Took the Erskine brush I received yesterday, soaked it in hair conditioner for two hours, while "massaging" the knot about every twenty minutes. And it worked out great, along with a Made Rite 15 Boar brush that came with the Erskine. As I had to hurry a bit, I did a quick two pass shave and got a nice DFS out of it.

    Yeah, I have noticed we have have kind of lined up and that's pretty cool. I had been wanting an injector, but had not been aggressively looking and the E3 just fell in my lap. I just had my second use today, and it really is very smooth and efficient. I seem to really enjoy SE razors in general. Honestly when using the E2 this morning, I kept thinking that Schick hit a perfect design 75 years ago and that this razors is just about perfection in comfort and performance. Just amazing. Good luck in your E1 quest and Gems. I have been only moderately pleased with my Blackbird, and I am looking for a premium SS DE for my 50th birthday in about a month. I really want a Wolfman, but they are just impossible to get. I'm leaning towards a Timeless. I may pull the trigger in a couple of weeks for an OC version.

    FRIDAY'S SHAVE
    20170225_132151.jpg

    Prep: MLSW Sandalwood pre shave butter
    Razor: Gillette Redtip
    Blade: Croma Diamat
    Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetc
    Soap: Lisa's Natural Sandalwood Pachouli
    Post: L&L Cuir Et Espices menthol aftershave



    Had a epic 3 pass shave yesterday. This Lisa's Natural soap is no joke, lather was perfect in every way. This is one of those hidden gem soaps that falls under the radar and it's a shame it doesn't get more recognition. The ingredient list is a bit unique and loaded with great skin care ingredients. Anyways, got a perfect BBS shave and finished off with some L&L menthol splash.

    SATURDAY SHAVE
    20170225_132005(0).jpg

    Prep: RazoRock Mister Joe
    Razor: Maggard Slant
    Blade: Rapira SS (1st shave)
    Brush: RazoRock BC Plissoft
    Soap: RazoRock Al Sapone
    Post: Floid Black, Myrsol Emulsion



    Completely forgot how nice the scent of this Al Sapone soap is. It's not a typical leather scent but smells like some fresh leather cleaner the queen would use or something like that. Very clean fresh scent. This shave was not even close to yesterday's shave. Lots of redness and irritation on the chin. Finished off with Floid Black and threw on some Emulsion a few hours later to help with the healing. Hope everyone had a great shave!

    ahhh, the Velvet Jacket!! That was high on my list of a raffle prize if it was available, but someone got it already. Well, I'm happy with my gift, but I suppose I could get that VJ in the future.

    Wilkinson Sword Super Sword Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH

    The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #128 brush. I did two passes the Gillette Fatboy and Wilkinson Sword Super Sword blade, I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Timeless .95 OC w/Timeless Knurled Handle
    Blade: Personna 74 Tungsten Steel (25)
    Brush: Shavemac Zebra Honeycomb 2 Band
    Soap: Reef Point Soap Tranquility
    Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Capri
    Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Scuttle

    Very good shave with these tools. The Timeless .95 OC is a fantastic razor period and with the Personna Tungsten Steel blade just improves the razor if that is possible. This blade is truly amazing. The Shavemac Zebra with their 2 Band is a work of art. All of the Reef Point Soaps I used this month performed outstanding.
    I'll have a new lineup starting tomorrow.
