Injector & SE Party !!!

Po' Razor....

Auto Strop and Clubman. Yesssss indeedddddd.

 

Nice easy shave before work...

 

Thanks and I couldn't agree more.

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: WDC-8, Maseto 24mm 2BF
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Razor: Schick Type L1
Blade: Chick
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pashana ASL

As my last shave was only about seventeen hours ago I thought the L type would be up to the job.
On this occasion I wasn't wrong and the Bank Holiday weekend got off to a lovely start.
The warm scents of Spitfire and Pashana were just right for this damp and bleak looking Saturday morning.
On that cheery note, I wish you all a great weekend.

Good morning gentlemen. A truly fine three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Marvelous lather from the Speick shave cream. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

SE Sunday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #289
Superior Lather Catcher
CVS CS SE
CWS
Thayer's Peach WH
Barbasol AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #289 brush. I did two passes with the Superior Lather Catcher Razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I used the open comb Damaskeene for the first time this morning and what a shave it was!

It’s a smooth and comfortable shaver and it’s just a tad milder than the regular Damaskeene. It also seems to provide more audible feedback than the regular Damaskeene. I love it when a razor talks to me!

There is nothing primitive about the OC. This razor can fit into the modern world and be a razor that anyone can use. This baby is a keeper!

 

Excellent. Damaskeene OC is on my must have list.

 

Great shave today for Memorial Day. I used as many U.S. produced products as possible.
I must say, the MicroMatic is a great shaver, and super efficient. This one mows down the hair, and leaves nothing in its path.
I hope you have great shaves!

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Semogue 2000 Boar
Soap: Proraso Green
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Cold water rinse, Proraso Green ASL

If this knot was set 5mm lower it would possibly be my favourite boar brush, as it is, it's a wee bit floppy but a pleasure to use all the same.
The Sabre enjoyed the slickness of the Proraso and my skin enjoyed the splash.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Today at home unpacking after short trip away, so used Travel Kit.

Omega s10065 Syn.
Haslinger Honig
Schick "O" Clone
Schick Twin- Japan [ 8 & 9 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

I took the "O" Clone with me on a short trip away, as it always delivers a good/fault free Shave. Sunday was OK wish, but as often is the case when away the lighting and mirrors are not always good for Shaving. Back home was really nice and had a smooth comfortable Shave, with a nice close finish. Next time away must pack my pre shave soap- Neutrogena Glycerine, which I really
missed.

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
C.O. Bigelow
Jayaruh #292 HMW Badger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 High Mountain White badger brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene Razor with a CVS Carbon Steel SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tue 29th May
RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
ATT SE1
Schick Proline [ 6 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

I do get good Shaves with my Injectors, but they are not quite as satisfying as getting a great shave with an AC or Gem powered Razor. One cannot afford to be " Gung Ho" when using these Razors as care and good technique us required to avoid mishap.

Today I just enjoyed the feel of the ATT Se1 as it eliminated my growth with ease, and it was so nice to use it with precision to get a really ultra close finish even in the most awkward areas. Definitely this could be a bit of a face stroking morning.

 

Pre: Cold water face wash,
Brush: Maseto 24mm ST
Soap: Wickham's Irish Fern
Razor: Sabre L1
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Cold water rinse, Wickham's Irish Fern PSB

Having yet again favoured the L2 yesterday, I thought the L1 was being unfairly treated, so out it came today.
Not a bad shave at all, I find it similar to the ER Pushbutton, three full passes and pick ups required.
The Wickham's soap and balm were of course excellent.
Happy Shaving one and all.
