Injector & SE Party !!!

What, no H?

 

I think we are the only 2

 

I use a blue handled Gillette on my legs

 

Man...if think your wife is rolling her eyes now.....wait til she see's you don't have an 'H'!

 

ok, ok. NOW i understand.

If I were you MrsChick, I'd be rolling my eyes too!

After my two-week dream trying out Tom's Bunny razor, I regrettably had to let go and allow others to try it. So I'm back and ready to continue my 2016 focus on all the injectors I accumulated after a habit-forming SE September last year.

After two successful months of January (Schick Type C1) and February (Schick Type D), I'm continuing my march through the alphabet this month with a focus on my Schick E types. With about four weeks remaining in March, I will spend the rest of the month alternating between my Schick Canadian E and my Schick US E2. I'll start each of them off with a Chick blade and rotate through a few other blade types during the month.

Cheers!

Well....I couldn't resist any longer....Tonight I dropped the hammer on an H1....When @twhite /Tom said that he and @mrchick were the only two without one.....I folded.......

You see.....I had one for about 5 mins...back in the 80's...I stood there holding one....when helping my parents move the last time. I was 30 something, and I was holding my Mom's NOS H1 which it turns out Dad had bought for her when I was born. I remembered seeing it around when I was little and always thought it was very cool and unusual looking...So I asked her, how does this shave, And she said, "Ohh that.....I never used it....I prefered using your father's razor". Soooo I did what every intelligent thinking young man would do and tossed it in the trash.........Ignorance is Bliss and I've always been a pretty happy cat....

So now I'm planning on doing some extensive testing when it arrives this coming week, hopefully....And we will get to the bottom of this new lofty; dare I say legendary; status that the Eversharp 'H' type Fashion Razor has found bestowed upon it.....by some folks whose shaving prowess is respected far and wide! You know who you are...

So....Whatever the outcome of these trials.....the praise or blame will fall on one @Karl G ....who found this razor for me and more than "enabled" me to cop.....Praise or Blame....Bravo or Shame.....we will let the whiskers fall where they may...

Stay Tuned......

Addendum: I now understand... @twhite is saying "I think we are the only two" I thought he meant he and mrchick were the only two without one.....But then Tom has so eloquently reviewed his 'H'....So he was refering to, him and Karl as being the only two that loved the 'H'....Hang on Tom....I'm coming, my friend.....It will be interesting to see, how many 'closet' H lovers appear in the coming days.....

Seville Sunday
This was my first time using the OCMM two days in a row. The blade did not rust because I took it out of the razor and dried it. The shave was very efficient, but not as comfortable as my Futur, as indicated by AS sting and a little rough feeling during the shave. I got a BBS with a couple very small weepers on my lower neck. The scent of For Flint is a nice compliment to Seville as the share a citrus note.
I'm looking forward to trying the coated blades to see if they are smoother. I'm also wondering if the SE on its way from the auction will shave differently from the OCMM.

 

@Tdmsu make sure you have the head angle correct, it is not the same as a DE and the MMOC needs little to no pressure.

 

What do you guys think of the G8?

 

I notice that my latest injector isn't included on Alan Appleby's classification. I have seen photos of my new razor on forums before. Does anyone know what is classed as? Type L or possibly Type K? Thanks

 

Can't wait to see it!

 

It is a sickness

 

It has the same head as any other Type G so it shaves the same - but the handle has a nice grip with the ribbing. Clearly a YMMV thing but you might experiment with a Personna blade or a modified feather.

 

...who me?

 

My G8 is fairly mild and is enjoyable.

 

Too funny

 

Its a Ladies Eversharp ..It has a Hydro Magic Head like the Ladies Eversharp K Models...Some folks call it the Ladies Easy Rider..Its not..The Easy Rider was a later L Type Special Edition Model but has a similar handle to this one..
