Injector & SE Party !!!

Unleashing the Schick L Championship Edition to celebrate the start of the Olympic Games...
Yes a little (or a lot) worn, but still a sweet shave with the Schick Plus Platinum.
Lather up some Vintage Williams w/ the Razorock Extra Chubby and off we go.
Finish off with some CC Frozen Vetiver because it’s the closest thing that sounds like Winter.

Enjoy your shave!
Tom

 

Thursday Night Shave

Razor: OC Damaskeene
Blade: Gem CS (5)
Brush: Plisson reknotted TGN finest badger
AS: Florida Water

Tonight I wanted a nice easy shave. No drama, just a nice mild shave.

I chose my OC as it is actually a middle of the road on aggression. I could use this razor if I was asleep, and have no fear of blood.

Super smooth feeling with a wonderful razor.

02/08/18 -> Last Night's Shave. Now the Ever Ready 1914 and the Schick E2 are my 2 favorite Razors - hands down - of Course I got a zillion razors and dont use favorites a lot. Last night I busted out my most pretty Schick E2 - it has been said many times - but this friggin thing is aggressive as all hell!!!! - With a feather light touch using a new NOS Schick Chromium from the 1970s i got one of the closest shaves that I could ever get....
PEACE - JAMIE B.

Schick Injector, Type D
Personna (4)
Simpson's CH2 Synthetic (27mm, Destroyer Class)
Italian Barber "Amici"

 

I tell yah that type E is MAGIC - forgot how great it is .. I shaved last night at 8:30 PM - i woke up at 5:30 AM and I was mostly BBS! Great Injector - but NOT an injector for a beginner - I can see a person removing a Layer of Skin, Zero pressure....

 

I've got an E2 and it's as you describe. I'll often save it for a shave when I have more than days' growth. It mows it down so easily.

 

Thank you.

I remember now how unnatural the angle feels to me. Very steep.

"I could use this razor if I was asleep" .......huh.....
Bet I could cut myself with it!.....

 

Hello @Bird Lives .

I was at my local supermarket today and was walking by the shaving section. I noticed the packages of Gem Personna stainless steel blades on the shelf. I thought of your experience with blades on the “used” side of the the case. Well, I saw the same thing. There was one blade on the new side and 9 on the used side. Not all packages were like that, but I did notice two that were like that.

Quality control issues?

Schick Proline [ 12 ]

After a week + on Injectors [ The Safest of "safety Razors" ], had to take care and pay attention to todays outing with the ATT Se1.
Pleased to say that I was rewarded with a very smooth and comfortable Shave, with a great finish.

 

That is bad bad bad....I feel I should rescue you from it.

Perhaps a bit more aggressive than the ATT SE1 , so took a bit longer to shave but rewarded by a very nice
close Shave with no mishaps.
