    I have two different GEM 1912 Brooklyn's that I have to use two different techniques to get a good shave out of. The one I used today I have on, too just off my face. The other one I start at the cap being 90º then bring it up slighty till I start removing whiskers. The second one, thus far, has given me better shaves.

    9/17 -> back to the Schick Adjustable set on 7 for 3 pass + neck pick ups - 2nd shave on vintage NOS Schick Plus Patinum Teflon coated dated 1974...

    I continue to be amazed by the sharpness of these schicks from the mid and late 70s!

    Back then, there was alot of competition for our Injector blade buying dollars! Blades from those times can be amazing!

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Iced Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #216 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Push-Button razor and a CVS blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Clubman Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    WTG, touch-up

    Schick adjustable this morning. Set to wide open (setting 8) for a smooth ride. I normally use settings 5-7 and have not used 8 until today. Perhaps I'll use #8 some more! It was smooth and comfortable and easy peasy.

    Have a great day!

    Today was a 4 day growth shave with my M2 Schick Adjustable with a Chick single blade. My face was nice and really slick from the MWF (Mitchell's Monday, right?) I did 3 comfortable passes and the resulting BBS was awesome. Absolutely no AS feedback. What a way to start the day!

    Oh yeah. Igor in the house. Beautiful three pass BBS, I think I'll get that down to two as I get used to the angles. I don't find the more aggressive setting at all intimidating but you're either a MMOC guy or a G-Bar guy and I'm definitely the former. The sloppy shaver (hello) will find the handle a little slippery, funnily enough a towel seems to work wonders. Anxious for another go tomorrow.[​IMG]

    Razor: Schick '500' Injector
    Blade: Chick
    Brush: Beauty Accents Kabuki
    Cream: KMF fragrance-free
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    I was reading some threads over the weekend about using a Kabuki brush (a kind of makeup brush) as a shaving brush. On a whim, I popped into the Dollar General and picked up one for the princely sum of $3.00 figuring "what's the worst that could happen"? It's a synthetic with a look similar to a Tuxedo knot; definitely on the small side (probably 18 or 20mm with a short loft) set in a handle about as big as half a 35mm film canister. Very soft and dense, though. I'll have to try and grab a picture later.

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but the brush handled the KMF just fine, probably about as well as my Plissoft. Very nice face feel, as well. I imagine a hard soap might be a challenge for it, though. I think the biggest issue was actually the short, smooth handle. Still, this could be a worthy travel brush.

    Everything else went just fine. Two passes to a near-BBS with one weeper (not sure if that was a technique fail or some residual from yesterday's Gem shave).
