From Unboxing: The Wolfman! Thread

Darkbulb said: ↑

Yup, I know unboxing videos/photos are truly lame...but, since that not stopped me in the past...here is one my Wolfman razor that arrived today!

Details:
Head: Dual/Combo head in brushed, stainless steel
* Head made to be 15-20% more aggressive than the stock one is.
Handle: WRH7 in brushed stainless steel

This lil box arrived today:

Proudly declaring it came from the great north:

Bubble wrap is universally seen as a great indicator of fun things ahead:

..almost as if it was there just to taunt me - another layer of wrap-stuff to get through:

But finally...there it was....The Wolfman!

Immediate reactions:
- Beautiful,
- Love the brushed finish,
- Heavy and very solid,
- Amazingly smooth when assembling the head onto the handle. Maybe the best fit I've ever seen on a stainless steel razor.
- Handle is gorgeous.
- Quality, quality and quality
- Canada rocks.

So, after having wiped the drool off my face and steadied my hands a bit I continued checking out this stainless steel marvel and to snap some more pictures...

It's your traditional three piece razor design.
Here you can also see clearly the dual/combo head configuration with one side having a safety bar and the other being an open comb.

Open comb side:

Safety bar side:

It feels great holding and very well balanced:

An attempt showing blade exposure.
Note there's a bit of an 'optical illusion' here due to the angle and proximity to the camera lens that makes the blade look a bit uneven - but believe me it is perfectly centered and lies flat and even

Side by side next to the Tradere OC:

I'll be using this razor starting Thursday of this week and I can't wait

Yo Rufus...Sounds like your Shave Cave will be rockin this September please keep us up to speed....And don't be afraid of your E type or PAL...remember Billy said, will bite if provoked....Just don't provoke it and you should love it....I have never met a Schick that I didn't LOVE...
Once you have a handle on either of your Hydro-magics you should be ready for all...And the good news is I think most agree that the learning curve for Injectors is very short...In fact some complain that when they shave with injectors they feel like they are cheating....If you show the E type the respect it deserves, being the Senior razor of your Injector Collection, I'm sure you'll be fine...

Actually all things are relative...See the H-Ms are like sportcars, really....you can race around you face with reckless abandon and do 4 passes and still get a close, irritation free shave...Therefore, because with the E you have to drive like you just saw the Sheriff has pull in behind you, people talk about how agressive it is...It still has a faster learning curve than most anytype of other vintage shaving system, and it obtains the same great results as your Hydro-magics but with half as many passes.....Just pay attention, where as with your Is and Js you don't have to pay attention...lol...You'll see what I mean....

And don't provoke it!....Keep it clean and shiny, well fed with quality blades, and luxurious lather....a happy E type with take care of you and show you a good time also, believe me....

So please give us you feedback, with a stroke, by stroke coverage of your Injector Maiden Voyages....I'm sure future DE shavers considering Injectors will greatly benifit...... aswell as all of us who are eagerly anticipating seeing you really enjoy every stroke this SEptember....

MrB. have you grooved to the the sound provided by MrGDC to your narrative about the love of the shave as per Schick? Does GDC understand the vibe MrB, or what?

You mates are charting the course and I'm keen for the voyage.

From How to sell a razor collection? Thread

Darkbulb said: ↑

Put yourself into a scenario where you want to sell off the vast majority of your razor collection.
In total about 100 razors - some of them common and some of them rather rare.

With expected prices from $5 to several hundred per razor you do want to be able to get as much as you can for them as you do have somewhat of a plan for the money they will generate.

Taking the rather large amount of them (each razor needing pretty photos and a short write-up) into consideration how would you go about selling them off?

Online Auctions
* Online auction a la eBay/Bonanza - one auction per razor
* Online auction a la eBay/Bonanza - small groups of razors (3-4 in each 'lot')

Forum
* Forum listing (TSD & TSR) listing every razor for sale with a swag at a price at each razor
* Forum listing (TSD & TSR) listing

Combo
* Forum listings of the 30-40% of the more common razors where prices are pretty well known
* Online auctions for the remaining 60% or so where prices are either pretty unknown or fluctuates a lot

I just received a G 1 with a loose spring. It doesn't appear to be a result of the spring being forced in an attempt to open the head. Instead, I'm thinking the head may have been bent back at some point in its past !

From SEptember 2015 - Discuss SE Safety razors

Billyfergie said: ↑

Well Sir...I have a two PAL Injectomatics that are excellent shavers ...They are different animals from Schick's.... In terms of performance in my humble option will blow most Schick's right out the window Sir....They are just as good as the PAL Adjustable in terms of the end result....They can offer a Deep BBS Result that is difficult to describe...I would go as far as to say they have got to be one of the most underestimated razors ever made Sir....I sent one to my brother a few weeks ago whom is an ardent Schick user and he phoned me up and said this thing just blew my Schick G Type right out the window ....

They are not as intuitive to use as Schick's as they are very subtle in many ways....Some folks seem to knock them, but I don't get it personally...They can get a hard time in Forums, but I pertain to the view that a lot of stuff gets lifted and repeated in Forums without any knowledge about them....These just might be the most efficient razors in the World Sir...They look like a Cheap Plastic Toy but so does the M 16 Assault Rifle and Boy what a lovely Toy that is Sir....
All I can say is get one now....
