Tangerine AS & Nivea Sensitive ASB

Good morning friends! Another fantastic injector shave this morning compliments of my I2 Hydro-magic. This morning I experimented with using a wetter brush to load my IB Amici. Instead of squeezing most of the water out of the brush I gave it a couple of shakes just to remove the excess water. This resulted in a very fluffy load which I painted on my face and then built the lather by swirling the brush on my face with moderate pressure. The fluffy lather soon disappeared and was replaced with a nice wet creamy later. By keeping more water in the brush at the beginning I was able to build a very wet slick lather without needing to add more water as I continued to build the lather. The Schick Hydro-magic skated across my face leaving nothing but smooth skin in its wake. I finished up with some of my homemade tangerine AS followed up by Nivea Sensitive ASB for that extra silky smooth feel. Am I ever loving my injector shaves! Have a great day my friends!

 

Excellent write up Andrew. I love the Amici soap and what a steal at the price!

 

Thank you Rob! it is an excellent value and performer for sure!

 

Thank you, Roby!

 

I love the feel of the I2, a great close and comfortable shaver. Have only used it with Personnas, the one Feather shave, and old PAL carbons to date, but it's been a pleasure to use with all of them.

This arrived. I've been looking for an injector with this backing on the spring for a while.



This is how I got it when it arrived before cleaning.

 

Friday Shave

Brush- AOS Fine Badger
Razor- GEM MMOC / Ever-Ready 1924
Blade- GEM
Soap- WSP Blackbeard
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel
WSP Blackbeard with menthol

Well I had the same "problem" as Wednesday, both of these razors shaved so well I had to wait a while to find the winner. First, I can't say enough great things about these WSP products; fantastic scent, great protection, great post shave feel. It's been 11 hours since I've shaved and I can still smell the scent. Fantastic products! I used the GEM on my right side today and the Ever-Ready on the left. First pass again the GEM was smoother but the Ever-Ready shaved closer. After three passes I was again dolphin smooth so I went to the alum for the winner. Just like Wednesday both sides were completely silent. Now, 11 hours later, we have a winner. While the GEM side of my face is still pretty smooth the Ever-Ready side is smoother. By a small fraction the Ever-Ready pulls out the win. It will be going head to head against my newly acquired 1914 this weekend to determine my best single edge razor. Have a great day folks!

 

Great photo Ben! 100 percent with you on WSP, excellent soaps!

A fantastic start today. This razor has been providing amazing shaves and today was no exception. I love the sound it makes, the cap is like an echo chamber. TGIF everyone!

 

Wonderful setup Mike!

 

Thanks Rob! This is my first try but it won't be my last.

 

Good to know details. Knew someone like you would chime in soon with the needed info.

 

Nice write up!

 

Thank you Karl!

 

Well, the Ever Ready 1914 arrived today! Pictures to come! I'll use it on Monday and I can't wait!

Marvelous shave this morning with the PAL Injecto-Matic. Beautiful lather from the KMF shave cream. Three easy passes for a refreshing dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day guys.
