Yes I am amazed. I have been working on going at 45 degree angles. First from chin down and away first pass. second pass I start at the ear and go down towards the chin 45 degrees. the third pass I start low on the outside and go at 45 degrees up towards my chin. This seems to get it pretty well and I have less irritation. Every where else is fine for the standard WTG,XTG,ATG.

I am still working on this but I am pretty happy with the results lately.

The H is in the house....

Tonight will be a quiet introductory time....Tomorrow, I'll let the press in....and there will be a press conference....
Right now she is settling in.....Very svelte, and drop dead good looking.....I'm a little speechless....she doesn't look like the photos....she looks new and the gold just glows....Fits my hand like they had measured my hand before designing....

I hear her calling......I get back to you good folks later....I need to prepare her bath.....

Stay tuned.....

What.....No Tumshie Heid...(Turnip Head)....?

This weekend I plan to do a full indepth review....I just grabbed a quick 2 pass + touch-up BBS...and now my wife and I are going to make a dash to our all night gym and go swimming.

But let me say this....I have NEVER gotten a better shave....Thank You @Karl G for finding me this treasure! I said Blame or Fame.....It's Fame....You da Man! This beauty is definitely in contension for Chairman of the Board razor in my Shave Cave...The words "Desert Island Razor" are being spoken in hushed tones through out my sub- consious shave cave.....

I grabbed a couple fast photos, to try and show this razor's size....It's leaning on it's gold top..so you can't see the beautiful gold top....Better pics this weekend.....I believe this is the ultimate "Travel-jector"...
Heres the shots and stay tuned to a complete review and some good photos....

Okay, most of us are partially SAD. But why are sellers on eBay selling empty blade containers? No one is that sad surely?

I Still hear that saying getting used..Its nearly up there with an another Auld Scottish sayin..Bawbag or Shutit ya Bawbag...


Billy..

Glad you liked the shave. @Karl G is on to something with the H.

Welcome to the club

Crivens, git oot o' ma face ya wee scunner ...

First injector shave this AM. Butterscotch handle injector, vintage PAL blade.

Audio feedback was quite marked. Even in places where I normally don't hear it with a loud DE. Blade seemed wicked sharp, but not the smoothest. Several weepers. After the first pass with just VDH lather, I decided that some pre shave oil was prudent.

Angles of attack are probably going to take a while to get used to. Due to the weight of the razor and the sounds of shaving, I'd have to say it almost reminded me of dry shaving with a cart razor.

Might take a while to work out how this injector thing fits in to my shave world. I did end up with a very close shave, maybe it's just a getting comfortable with something new thing. Will try the same blade and combo tomorrow, me thinks.

Those Old PAL Blades will offer a Ruff Ride..Don't judge an Injector by those Old Blades..

Billy..

You and Karl are on to something with these 'H's"......

This is only a preview......Tonight a full review...

Stay tuned.....

congratulation and welcome to the club......Like Billy said, don't judge anything with these blades but the blades...
With a proper blade you will find the angle VERY intuitive...Some say they feel like they are cheating using an injector because they are so easy!

You can order the new Schicks at Walgreens for in store delivery...no delivery charge and only takes 2 or 3 days max to come in and they call you to pick them up...Very Easy and great blades....ask a manager, most co-workers don't know they offer that service.....While you're at it, they can order anything from their shaving catolog for you while you are they.....Hows this for enabling?

Yesterday, I went to my mailbox, saw the envelope and ripped into it right there....I saw a small jewelery ring box and said out loud....f#€k! He sent the wrong thing!

Then I opened it, and was shocked....I had forgotten how small these guys are!

Look how small this razor is.....But it feels very substancial and well built!

So....I go through my usual cleaning regime just to disinfect, because the razor looks like it was never used!
@Karl G out did himself picking this one out for me...a less than 10 buck buy now, and it looks better than some of the same types I've seen go for over $60... Thanks Karl!

So I work up a great Arko stick (I know how much Karl loves Arko )lather....and inject a new Long's Drugs/nos Personna Chromium. The blade went right in without any proplems, but I was very careful, because I know some of the cats have had a problem here. The spring is very tight, and it was hard to pull the injector out after loading. I also followed @twhite 's blade loading tutorial, because Karl suggested I do so...and there was no prob...worked like 'butter'.

Then to first pass...I held this as I would have a little electric.

Followed Tom's advice...loose grip and the razor was super intuitive and followed all my face's natural curves...First pass resulted in almost DFS. First stroke I started at my side burn and went all the way down to jawline, followed jaw line to chin...Didn't plan on such a long stroke, but I could tell by the sound and feel that it wanted to. And like I said, first pass resulted in a very similar result that my E2 would have...EXCEPT! It was much gentler, and irritation free, but equally as close, BUT smooth, smooth, smooth!

Rinsed and went for an ATG pass....Both passes went very fast...Like this rascal inspires high-speed reckless abandon...You hold this so close to the blade...It's almost like you are holding the blade...lol! Here's the head.

2 passes and touch-up and I've never had a better shave....This 'H' type has made a believer out of me!
I'm thinking the only thing wrong, that Eversharp did with this razor.....Was market it as a "Ladies" razor. They should have just marketed as the World's Greatest Travel-jector and it probably would have been a big success.

There is nothing here that would make me think Ladies' razor, except for it is very attractive...For one thing, it doesn't have a handle. But this was one of the first razors marketed towards ladies. I guess no one knew yet that ladies need a longer handle to make reaching for the ankles easier. I think Eversharp just wanted something different to market without the name Schick on it...And men were so locked into the name Schick, Eversharp figured they would shoot for the ladies' market....Also this razor is aggressive...Every bit as efficient as my E2 or G8, only SMOOTH like my PAL injecto-matic!

No...this razor's forte is face shaving. The very thing that would make this guy bad for shaving legs is what makes it so great for a man's face....the shape....the small box that makes it like holding the blade in your hands...Like Tom said, this is the fastest shaver in my Shave Cave...

Stand-out thoughts: It reminds me of these other designs by Octavious Rodrigues...
1. Super close like the E2 but Super smooth....maybe the smoothest in my collection...
2. The spring is similar to the F type...

3. A great travel razor like the C type....only much smaller...I could pocket this and not know it was there!

Final.....I love it....Yep this was definitely another design from Octavious Rodrigues, and boy did he get everything right....Except the name....

There will be some coming shave-offs.....stay tuned...

For size comparison:

YES

It is one smooth operator is it not? It is surprising how fast you shave with it. I think it is the fact that you can take such long strokes. It just holds the angle with the light touch.

How it pivots around your contours speeds things up too.

@Karl G thanks for turning us on to these bad boys.

Tom
