Just come across this thread or I'm just fashionably late, one of the two. I will post photo this evening of the razors I will be using this month.
SOTD September 5, 2017 A Stirling SEptember Blade: Schick Razor: Schick E2 Brush: Semogue 1520 boar Lather: Stirling The Lounge Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Baker Street aftershave WTG, touch-up Schick E2 today for a nice shave. I use this razor on days when I have more than a day's worth of growth. It's a different animal than my other Schicks. Put in a new Chick blade today and ended with a nice, smooth shave. Really enjoyable. Have a great day!
September 5, 2017 SEptember shave #5 Hardware: OB V1, Feather FHS-10 #1, Zenith Best badger Software: RR Dead Sea Soap, DG astringent, M&R Rose Water, Humphreys Citrus W/H, Nivea 2in1 aftershave lotion/balm. It was a good shave.....
SOTD Stirling SEptember 4th PAL Injecto-Matic Chick (5) Stirling Executive Man Ever-Ready 200T RazoRock Emperor AS The aggressiveness between the Schick L1 and PAL IM are vastly different, and very apparent when you shave with them back to back. Lots more blade feel and efficiency with the PAL. Kept a light touch yesterday and was rewarded with a BBS smooth shave after two passes and a little touch up.
SEptember 5, 2017 TOBS Sandalwood cream Razorock synthetic brush Schick type I razor (maiden shave) Shick blade (1st use) Post Shave: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive balm, Family Dollar Spice AS This was my first shave with the Schick type I, which I acquired from an antique store last month. This is only my 2nd Schick injector razor and I am really liking these shavers so far. I'll likely acquire more. Enjoy your shaves and have a great day!
TSS/Gingers Garden Acqua di Florida B-400 by Tom, Omega Pro98 boar knot The Bunny/ NOTSO comb, Chick blade M&L Florida Water Eau de Cologne After a couple uses, I'm reacquainted with The Bunny so I swapped in the mid-grade comb. I like the blade feel of injector types. Stiffer than a TTO or 3pc DE and very much like a shavette. Short attention span and a couple Schick's may pull me away from this shiny prototype before the month is over. Today is not that day. @twhite
Me, too! It's not just a Summer scent. Thank you, Doug! Just over two years ago none of this gear would have caught my eye. Now I'm hooked & haven't grown a beard since.
Looks like I'm late posting to this thread as well. I'll be rotating through 4 injectors this month- Schick G4 '66', E3, I1 and a PAL Injectomatic. For today's shave:
Razor: ATT SE1 Hempel Ti Blade: Feather Pro (5) Brush: Shavemac ATG LE The Nisky Silvertip Fan Soap: Eufros Tierra Humeda A/S: Old Spice Decanter: Old Spice Telescope Black Style 1973-1975 ID #4354 An amazing near BBS 3 passes with a touch up shave. The foremast and mizzenmast flags stand out straight and there are 2 of them. The ship also has a little anchor hanging from the bow. (1973-1976). Styrofoam packaging was introduced in 1975.
