    Great lineup and photo Mark. I have been neglecting the Brass General. I think I'll bring it up in rotation soon.

    Forgive me, my SE brethren, while I've been lurking here, I've been off the SE train for a foray back to the DE world. My Merkur Progress is giving me a 2-pass BBS each day. But I'm planning on going back to my Schick Adjustable as part of Adjustable August. (My PAL Adjustable is going to Razor Emporium for repairs. I just can't get the safety bar correct. Right now there's almost no blade gap.)

    Happy shaving!

    WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY!

    RAZOR: my SE adjustable creation.
    AS: Aqua Velva

    This was my first shave with my newly created razor. I started out on the middle setting. Starting with 2 days growth. I laid the cap on my cheek and dropped down to make blade contact. It is a very quiet razor. I attribute that to it being secured very well.

    I finished the first pass. I found this setting to be very comfortable. Lathered up for pass 2 and dialed it up all the way. Now we are talking. A more aggressive shave. I never felt that it was going to bite me.

    Lathered for pass 3 and dialed it down all the way. Very mild shave. It easily went ATG on my upper lip. I do find this more mild than I prefer.

    First impressions. The handle is of nice diameter to grip. I will add some groves for added grip for soapy hands. Head size is on the large size. Not overly so though. Using your standard 1912 shave techniques it easily gets your mustache area.

    I did not find the angle to be bad at all. I will however make another razor with a lower head profile. That way I can fine tune if needed.

    Overall I am extremely pleased with this first functional go.

    Tom

    Gem blades. As I did an injector before. I decided to try my hand at a SE. I started this design over a year ago. Unfortunately I got distracted with life's little problems. So a month or so ago I started tinkering again.

    Really nice and informative write up. Those razors are like night and day, but I love both and get great shaves from them. I definitely would like to hear more of your thoughts on these two razors. Post on!
