Injector & SE Party !!!

First shave with the ER lather catcher I recently bought. Was a very nice shave. I made a video of it. Do not laugh too much at my lather. I blew up the Williams.

I thought it was going to be a rough night, I put a blade in the ER for the first time and it was loose. It would not even stay on the blade stops. After comparing it to my 1911 Gem I figured out the head had been bent down at some point. A few very gentle bends with a small pair if pliers and it was back good as new. Outstanding shaving razor just as I suspected.

 

Roby, as usual, you post great photos! I'll bet it was a great shave with that N1.

 

Good lineup.

 

Nice picture Roby.

 

First of all and most importantly, HAPPY FRIDAY CLINT. Good setup and photo.

 

Oh, man, I can't spell at all.

 

Friday's March SE Madness Shave


Dove Men Face Wash
Old Spice Lime
Jayaruh #18
Eversharp-Schick I
Ted Pella Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

The Old Spice Lime Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 silvertip badger brush. I did two passes the Eversharp-Schick I and Ted Pella Injector blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

One day, I'll get me an ER lather catcher. THEN, I'll be happy. Yeah, right.

 

Thanks Doug. Have a great day buddy.

 

Thanks Jim! It was an excellent shave. Have a great day buddy.

 

Either the ER or Gem are great!! If you would like to try I would gladly loan you my 1911 Gem.

 

Inaugural Shave - Schick Type H1

• Speick Men shaving cream
• Muehle 25mm sythetic brush
• Schick Type H1 razor
• Chinese Schick blade (1)
• Alum block
• Speick Men ASL
• Speick Men EdT

My first shave with the Schick H1 - the Ladies Fashion Razor.
Eversharp made those from 1947 to 1953.
I got mine for a reasonable price from Ebay France. It looked quite grubby on the images in the listing and I hoped that it would clean up nicely - and it did:

The razor is both smaller and heavier than I expected. The razor itself weighs 35.6g and is 42mm wide and 55mm tall. The cap weighs 40.9g and the razor with the cap is still 42mm wide, but 60mm tall. This makes for a really neat and small travel razor with the blade nicely protected by the cap.
It seems that the spring on Tom's Bunny V3 injector was inspired by the H1 and I determine that I should hold it at a similar angle. This should suit me fine after 60+ shaves with the Bunny V3. The lack of a proper handle reminds me of the Bigelow-Parkin folding razor. You use your arm as an extension of the razor. Your arm is the handle. This is how I will approach this razor then.
I've been told that a Chinese Schick blade is the way to go with the H1 and I inject a fresh one.
It's a Ladies Razor, so to assert my masculinity I opt for Speick Men products from start to finish
That Speick Men cream is marvellous. Slick, protective and then even more slick and it smells of Speick - what's not to like?
Of course I go for my standard pass-around/new razor four pass WTG,XTG,GTX,ATG shave. Seems like a lot, but with good prep and absolutely NO PRESSURE this gives me consistent, skin friendly and smooth results. Works for me.
Right from the start the H1 and I click. Yes, this shaves a bit like the Bunny V3 and that's more than just a good thing. There is not much audible feedback, but I can feel the Chinese Schick blade doing its work. There is nowhere for the removed lather to go, so the razor requires frequent rinsing. Not a problem. It doesn't clog, there is just a build up of lather beneath the head.
This tiny razor is very manoeuvrable. There is no long handle to be moved around. Around the chin line, under the nose, whichever direction - it's easy.
After four uneventful, yet enjoyable passes I'm left with a near perfect shave. Even hours later there is not a hint of stubble. The alum block and ASL have a little sting, but not too much. This little hussy (as they call the H1 on the US forums) is very impressive. If I had a 'rotation', this would be part of it. It will be used frequently, that's for sure.
Conclusion:
OH YES!

 

Atta Boy "RR".....looks like this Hussy has stolen yet another set of "heart and whiskers"!!! She had her way with mine...}8^))

Nice shave with the Fat Friday software setup. GEM Pushbutton today. Great results! I really like the Pushbutton and Featherweight that I have. I should use them more often.

Very good shave this evening. I'll start a new focus tomorrow when I figure out what I want to focus on for the next 30 days. Have a good weekend!

 

OH YES! is right. You are correct, it was the design inspiration for the Bunny's spring. It holds the title as my top commercial injector. I have a newly acquired E1 that needs to face off against it sometime but, other than the lather build up, there is little opportunity to beat this razor. I also use it to shave on nights before early airport departures as the shave holds so long I can get by the next day without needing to shave in the morning.

 

Thanks Amigo. It has been a great Friday .

 

Wow Tom! Did you custom make the adapter or was it something you modified? I've been on the fence about buying one and it would be awesome if I could buy one and use it.
