Schick E2 & Schick Proline Type B AC Blade [ 2 ]

While the use of this blade calms down the E2 a bit,it is never going to be the Mildest of Razors, nor provide the smoothest of Shaves. However, I can honestly say that today I attained on of my best ever close finish Shaves, with no mishaps.

I love the aggressive feel of my E2. I would never want to tone that down. The shaves from it are smooth as long as the technique is good. I equate the shave with a Gillette OLD. If you do not use solid technique my E2 will let you know about it.

good one.

Trust me... I'm just as confused. I got the E2 recently and assumed I'd hate it. Instead, it seemed to be a model of quiet efficiency. OTOH, the G1 that came with it, just like the first one I had, was the one that bit me.

This was with Personna Mini Hair Shaper blades which most people didn't recommend for an E2.

Definitely a YMMV situation.

Brush looks excellent Clint.

Thank you Doug.

Sunday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #2
Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
CVS SE
CWR/Alum Bloc
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 badger brush. I did two passes with the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher with a CVS 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 Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Gotta love the look of those lathercatchers. Awesome!

which Stirling brush is tha?

Keeping with the thread theme of late, broke out the E2. I find I've really got to pay attention to this razor. It's efficient if handled properly, it's vicious if not. Nice shave.



(BTW took the pic without my glasses so no comments about what's wrong. )

NO comment about the upside down label from me...

YOu think a lather catch looks good...you should feel the shave!!!

Of course, just another razor on my list.

Alan once gave me a GEM short handle 1912 (Brooklyn), I remember he had named it 'Spike'. He told me, " You have to keep Spike here on a short leash when you take him for a walk, if you don't, he will bite!"

More thoughts on the E2. It's 2:00 and my face feels like I just shaved. The shave itself was a practice in concentration watching the angle and pressure. Not as enjoyable as I would like, but the results speak for themselves.

The 26mm Synthetic.

oh ok...I think my "lil brudder" is a synthie, but much smaller.

I thought the upside down label was an artistic statement. I kind of liked it.

Yeah, that's it, that's what I was trying for. Thanks Doug.

Herm

got your six.
