Injector & SE Party !!!

Thanks Doug. I'm still searching for the preferred setting on the adjustable M3 . The rest of the products performed perfectly.

 

What setting are you on now, and how does it compare to other settings?

 

I've only tried it on setting 3. It does seem too mild at the lower settings and plan to go aggressive tomorrow.

 

Thank you Doug.

 

Thanks Roger.

Aftershave: Uncle Jon's Silk Road

A couple of firsts today, the razor and the soap. First, the razor. This is a fantastic razor, it's heavy, very well made, heavy, nice selection of heads, heavy, stainless steel...did I mention it's heavy? I love the weight of this razor, I just let gravity do all the work. The head is small enough to get into tight spaces around my nose, the shave angle is easy to find and it's very audible, a feature I really like. My only complaint is the handle is slightly slippery when wet but it's minor. I'm very happy I splurged on this razor.

The soap. This is my first try of the Mason Boutique brand and I was impressed. The scent off the puck was fantastic; amber, cinnamon, a little citrus with lots of spice notes. Upon lathering the scents intensified on the first pass. At the second pass something weird happened. All the spice notes went away and it smelled exactly like Arko. Now I don't mind Arko but that's quite a switch. The performance of the soap made me forget the scent however; very slick, nice cushion, easy lather. This is a top shelf performer. I splashed on some Uncle Jon's Silk Road and I'm ready for the day. Have a great day folks!

 

Forget the three dot, with the one dot plate and the trimmed Personna Blue the SE becomes a mini-Rocnel. Whether you think that's a good thing or not I don't know but it's an aggressive but still comfortable and very close shave and personally I like it.

I'm going to have to try that

 

Performs much better with a Twin blade.

 

That's the spirit, you've only got your face to lose. LOL. I think you'll like it higher.

Never been one to let fear and common sense hold me back....

Great setup and picture with a beautiful brush Mark.

 

Yeah, @Boojum1 .....Beautiful Brush....

 

Ladies and Gentleman.....to those elder Denizens around....He needs no introductions.....But to these youngins I see runnin round here and to those new to this SE-Hood...

Let me introduce you to one of the finest gentleman to ever swing a Single Edged razor.....Mr @HoosierTrooper ....
A Single Edge Blade Slinger and GEMocrat of the Highest Order! Tom here has forgotten more about these beautiful Works of Fuctional Art than I will ever know. And I can say that without a moments hesitation. He was my personal sensei or gemsei whichever the case may be...And was very generous with his knowledge, experience, and razors....

So Tom, are you planning on maybe hanging out for a shot of menthol or two...or are you just passing through?
I'm sure alot of the cats around here would love to catch up with you....and others would like to "Pick your whiskers" , and dig your thoughts on SE whisker whackers...

What have you been up to...and what are your "go to" kits these days? And have you heard anything from the Rocket dood or Fuzzy lately? I miss the hangs! We used to have some great hangs! But we're too young to delegate those hangs to the past...};^D... So lets put the lather to the face, and terrify some whiskers, how 'bout it?

BTW....I thank you & my wife thanks you for that Micromatic....It makes it soooo easy for me to get face rubbing compliments from the little lady! I'll take it! That Micromatic !!

The HFT I knick-named Spike...had to keep him on a short leash...he would bite, everytime! That was the most fractious MILD razor I ever knew. Very mild, but would nip and draw blood if I turned my back for a second!!! Nope, still have him, but keep him under lock and key.

The Ornate Gold ER 1912, is a jewel! More aggressive than my Damaskeenes...just about perfect in every way....A friend borrowed it awhile back to check out TWS...He loves it!!!....hmmm, might be time to send in the Marines ....Maybe I'll ask him to swap it for this really great G bar I have...
