Injector & SE Party !!!

SOTD April 12, 2017

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick E2 injector
Brush: JR #60 synthetic
Lather: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Post: Witch hazel splash, Ghost Town Barber aftershave
WTG, touch-up

First use of the E2 injector. The first pass was a little rough. A new blade was already in there but I put in yet another new blade after the first pass and it smoothed out. Either a bad blade or it ran across the stops on insertion. Either way the touch-up pass was much smoother. I agree with others that the E injector feels more aggressive than the other Schick models. Good lather and nice feel from the splash. Good shave in the end.

Have a great day!

 

I think my 1910 Gem Junior bar is the loudest. The 1915 star is loud too.

 

Look at that blade exposure! Wowzers

Aftershave: Dr Jon's Propaganda

Excellent shave this morning, this was my first time using a Dr Jon's soap and I was not disappointed. Very easy to lather, slick and with good protection. You take all that and factor in this wonderful scent, it's a keeper. It's been 4+ hours since I shaved and the AS is still going strong; wonderful vanilla scent with a spicy sandalwood background. It's one of my favorites. Have a great day folks!

 

Great photo Mark.

 

Is it as loud after you put one of them thete butchered blades in it?

 

Hehe yes. But unfortunately the 1914 is the trickiest to hack, definitely requiring an adapter, with a simple shim an injector blade still wants to float, there's simple inadequate compression to keep the blade secure.

-Auto-Strop VC1 Razor
-Personna Gem Blade (de-splined)
-Erskine K-250 Badger Brush
-Love My Skin Beau Brummel Cybilla Soap
-Dickinson's Witch Hazel
-Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

My second shave with the Auto-Strop and it seems like I have gotten better on how to use it properly. Kept the head flat against my face, except for beneath the sideburns and goatee for a good trim job, and had a really great shave with it. It rivals the shaves I get with my Gems, well it is the same blade. Two passes with some touch up and it produced a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.

 

Thank you Clint!

 

I can see how that would be with the way the top closes.

 

Interesting. You're making me think twice about the Autostrop.

 

The VC1 is the only one capable of using de-splined SE blades, while Feather makes blades that will fit all models.

 

Thanks. I might be on the lookout now for a VC1.

Could be a bit too efficient for some but certainly copes well with my heavy growth,which requires a Daily Shave. Noticeable was the reduced amount of regrowth from yesterdays Shave with The General.

 

Have you driven a 1914 yet? Everyone needs to have a go with the little lather catcher.

 

WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY!!!!
Excuse the lateness of the post. It was another great signature shave. WHOOT.
