RazoRock Syn. 24mm
Speick Active
Schick Type O Clone
Schick Twin Japan [ 6 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

I thought theN3 was good with a Twin Blade but this one seems to be taking the lead , but will have to see when
the blade has a few more uses. This may be a copy but it really Shaves well and feels good in the hand.

 

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #284
Pal Injecto-Matic
Personna
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

04/24/18 - Tuesday Night Shave.
WINTERGREEN! Cold and Refreshing. Schick Type G8 and a proline blade - amazing. 3 pass bbs - zero irritation - zero blood....
Peace, Jamie

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Boots Travel BB
Soap: Wholly Kaw Lav Sublime
Razor: Ever-Ready 1914
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then Cold water rinse, Floid Black ASL


Sticking with the travel brush theme, the vintage Boots best badger is a cracking example.
I thought it only right and proper to shave with the 1914 after mentioning it in the previous two sotds and it, with the wonderful WK soap, provided a winning Wednesday whisker wemoval pwocedya.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

No, but I have a NOS one that I keep debating as to whether I should crack it open and shave with it or sell it...

EDIT: Sorry fuzzy, brain freeze, I don’t have an H2 - I was thinking of an I-2 I have tucked away.

A change from Injectors today, I really enjoyed todays Shave as I find the blade seems to perform better after
its first outing. A Top class finish attained without fuss.

Thursday April 26 - Eucalyptus mini Focus contd.

Supply Co V.2 SE injector on two - dot plate / Personna ( 12)
JR #267 birdseye maple and boar brush
Vitos Eucalyptus shaving cream
Alum and Osage Rub



I have been shaving with this setup for most of the last couple weeks. I alternate between this brush and another Jayaruh brush, #276 white ash and boar, but otherwise everything stays the same. I am breaking in and de-funking the boar brushes, using up the eucalyptus cream, and perfecting my technique with the Supply injector. I intend to continue using this arrangement until the boar brushes stop smelling funky, the cream runs out, or the injector blade dies. So far, the boar brushes don't smell too bad anymore, the cream has a hole in it but is still hanging in there, and the injector blade is still sharp and smooth on shave #12...

The photo is from last Wednesday but nothing has changed except for the size of the hole in the bottom of the shaving cream. Other than that, the Vitos cream delivered the same slick lather, the razor delivered the same two good smooth passes, Mr. Alum kept his mouth shut, and the Osage Rub delivered the usual chilly kicker finish.

 

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Van Der Hagen Luxury
Jayaruh #284
Pal Injecto-Matic
Personna
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

Very nice picture and setup. Just got my OneBlade Genesis V2 and I'm enjoying the mild and efficient shaves. Going to try a modified Gem blade in it down the road.

 

I find the modified Gem blade give very good shaves in my V2. Perhaps not as close as the Feather but the Gem Blades last so much longer.

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Omega 11137
Soap: Wholly Kaw Man from Mayfair
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then Cold water rinse, WK Man from Mayfair AST

Daydreaming at work, I was thinking I hadn't used a full sized brush nor a DE in quite a while.
Got home, fully determined to use both, then I remembered I had compared the L2 to the DeHaven, so had to see if I was right (any excuse).
I was wrong, I find this razor as smooth but more efficient than the DeHaven.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Ahhh It's Spring Again...When a Young Man's Fancy, turns to thoughts of his True Love, and favorite shavers.......Old Man's Fancy Too....LMAO!!!!

 

Fri 27th april

Omega 11137
Haslinger Honig
Alu. General
Feather Pro [7 ]
Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion

I feel more at home with the heavier AC Razors. It could be the blade but I felt that I had to be more cautious than usual today with the General. However, the quality of the finished Shave was pretty good, I shall try it again with the more forgiving Proline Blade.
