Injector & SE Party !!!

I have yet to try that one. Looks like it might be fun though.

@LuvWetShavin on that Schick M. It's a silly question but do you have the safety bar lock all the way down. ( not sure that is really what it is called) I can not figure out why it is not doing better for you. It shaved great in the video I made before you got it.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams
B-400 by Tom
Heljestrand
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Proraso Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Heljestrand Razor with a Henckels wedge blade. This razor has a long handle and is on the heavy side. It requires a light touch. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave with no blood. That is always a plus. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I cleaned everything up with hot water and dried it off. Then I stropped the blade with the Allegro sharpening system and reassembled the razor. I may have said this before, but it is more like shaving with a straight on a stick. I thought while shaving, "I wonder what it would be like to shave only with this system for a year or so?" I'm still wondering. HA!

 

Perfect post before I go to nappy land. Beautiful!

 

That's a big head on that razor. Looks bigger than my Eveready 1914.

Yes, it is. I took these pictures just for you.

 

I can see why it would be hard to fit in between your nose and upper lip. But then again most men back when this razor was new wore a mustache, lol. Thank you for the pictures.

I always wondered if razors like this were the reason so many men sported moustaches back then...

 

SOTD January 8th


Schick E2 Prototype
Schick Proline B-20
Stirling Mountain Man
Stirling Boar

First shave with the Prototype E2 and the Schick Proline B-20. This razor is one aggressive devil, it has as much blade feel as my Type F and Pal Injecto-Matic if not more! The Proline was very sharp and had no problems handling my 3 days of growth. The Stirling boar did a fantastic job of whipping up a great, slick Stirling Mountain Man lather and after 3 passes I am smoooooth! Have a great day my friends!

RazRock Syn. 24mm

Use of this blade in the PAL makes the Shave a lot smoother,but does not affect the quality of finish.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Proraso Pre-Shave
Tabac Shaving Soap
Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor with a Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This was the third shave with a wedge and my first with the Henckels Rapide. It was by far the best yet, also. I got a very close, easy shave. After the shave I cleaned up and then refreshed the blade with the Allegro. I did 15 cycles on the sharpening side and 25 cycles on the strop.

I'm remodeling the master bathroom and have gotten it all demo'ed. Now a family friend is doing the work of putting it all back together again. Until then I am shaving with just a couple of razors and the Arko/Williams mix shave stick. The General gave another superb BBS two pass shave today.
