Great shot, wonderful colors buddy!

 

My friend.

 

Thanks Bill. I'm enjoying it a lot and plan to keep it in my regular rotation.

 

You should have the blue light saber in the photo as well. Great photo

Gillette Flat Bottom Tech (Punch Handle) / Feather (4)
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Rubberset Vintage Pure Badger Hair (original knot)
Retinaol ASB
Pecksniff's Charismatic eau de Toilette

Great shave today. The Fat delivers the prep and the Tech takes care of the stubble resulting in BBS.

 

Outstanding picture with a blue theme.

 

Very handle!​

 

Always enjoyed your posts and you did a bang up job again, it is a beautiful picture. Nice day to you.

Three Pass Shaving Routine..

Hot Water prep & massage with Coconut Oil
Schick Type E 1 Injector
NOS Dutch Super Stainless Injector Blade New
Hans Baier Silver Tip Badger
Haslinger Honey Tallow Soap
Thayers Original Witch Hazel
Logona Mann Aftershave Balm

I had My First Shave with my Newly Acquired Schick Type E 1 Injector today with an NOS Dutch blade..I had 2 days of whiskers to cut down & went for the Money Button BBS Dolphin Smooth Shave..I have heard it said that there is No such thing as the perfect shave..

Well..Maybe Aye..Maybe Hook Eye..Cause I am sitting here with an All Over Dolphin Smooth Result..I don't mean form North to South & form East to West neither..I mean in every Darn Direction..

The Type E 1 has Half a Millimetre more Blade Exposure than the Coveted Type E 2 that Opens as you can see in the 3rd Pic..The 4th Pic down shows that is has an Identical Blade Exposure to my Black Handle Canadian Type E 5 which is also a Rare Bird..The Canadian Type E 5 is the Most Aggressive Injector that I own..The Type E 1 is far more Forgiving though..I can only put that down to the Smooth Comb other than that its a bit of a Mystery because the Blade Gap is Identical as Well..

So the Type E 1 is More Aggressive than the Type E 2 that Opens but its as Smooth as the Type D..The Type E 1 has a Square Spring the same as the Type D..It was the only Type E with a Square Spring & like the Type D was only made for a Few Months..The Type E 1 is actually a Lot Rarer than the Type D & the Type F for that Matter & they are Rare Birds as Well..

Like the Type D the Type E 1 can lead you into a false sense of security because its so smooth that doesn't feel that aggressive..I can get away with some pressure with the Type D with the same Blade Combo..Not with this Bad Boy..I would have Had to use a Cut Down Feather Pro in my Type E 2 to get anything Near as Effeciant as the E 1..No Bones about that One..It does make some sense to me Now where the Canadian Type E 5 gets its Blade Exposure from..They have Utilized a Type E 1 blade Exposure & changed it to a Ridged Comb & of Course a Round Spring with No Lugs..

What more can I say except that its the Dogs Danglies..


Billy..

 

Boy ! That`s some bowl. Nice picture too.

I had my first shave with Barbaros TR-1. I am extremely satisfied with my first shave. I will give it a run for a week and write a detailed review.

 

WOW! Billy you really out did yourself this time, that was a thing of beauty. I think maybe you screwed yourself though....... Encore Encore Encore.

Really nice layout, great picture too.

SOTD (can you even begin to guess what razor I'm trying to draw?)





Spoiler below

















King Cobra

 

Loved it! Very !!

 

Tuesday:
hot shower w/Dermasil bar soap
Somersets Original PSO
Maggard MR4 2 passes
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
D R Harris Windsor cream in a warm bowl
Omega boar
Thayers unscented w/aloe
D R Harris Windsor A/S

Surprisingly good shave with the GSB. Apparently my face likes this blade much better in a long handled heavy razor.

 

But were you able to guess it? lol

 

There is the "Unknown" safety razor from my pif

 

Indeed I did guess! It's seared into my mind from staring at photos of it.
