"I bite......"

 

Congrats @SharptoothC!

 

Yeah Chris, congrats!

 

What model of Injector was it?

I know that Andrew offered you a G1, but feel free to PM me if you'd also like an early J1 or L1.

Mine was a type E. I thanked Andrew as it was very generous of him, but I did not feel right taking it as I already have a type G. I was wanting to check out some of the other types. If you are selling one I could be interested.

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Beautiful F type, Andrew! It's one of the razors I would still like to acquire.

You son is getting big! Great picture! I had forgotten it was Friday until I saw the picture.

 

Congrats @SharptoothC!

 

Thanks! Couldn't have asked for better.

Congrats @SharptoothC on the CT

 

Ditto on both a handsome young man and a beautiful Schick.

I don't plan to have any more children, but grandkids are great. Only have three from my daughter. My three sons haven't yet produced an heir to the family name. The Type F is also a limited quantity item, and on my wanted list, too.

 

Thanks!

That F is uh-mazing. Your little fella must be the happiest baby ever. I have enjoyed my kids through every stage, but I miss those early days. They are so innocent and amazed at the world they are discovering.

Smells like the Drug Store SEptember!!!! (Stirling Booster)

September 8

Razor - Schick Injector M2
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling Sandalwood
Brush - 30DC LE
ASOD - Stetson

Time for a change from the Gem as it gave me three great shaves. On to my Schick Injector. It's a Type M2 and the model I first started shaving with. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, that was my first razor I ever purchased and my Dad thought I had lost my mind. Definitely a dedicated Gillette man. Blade is a Chinese Schick and I stayed with the Stirling boost with the LE brush.

The dial on this razor is missing its label, but I have it marked to tell how to adjust it. I opened it up halfway and went to work after producing another fantastic lather, Sandalwood this time. Smooth as ever on two passes with touch up and the baby is in the house. One of the best shaves I've pulled off with this razor. Again, I don't give the SE's too much love so I'm happy to have such a great shave.

Tomorrow I'll splash the Stetson on again and head into what hopefully will be a decent day of sales. See if it will produce the same kind of results the Veg is known for around here.

It's been fun following the raffle drawings today, even if my name is still untouched. I had my eye on a couple of things that have already left the building. Maybe with the great shaves I've been getting I don't need to be any luckier. Have a great Saturday!!

 

SEteptember & Drug Store AS Focus

Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood soap
Omega Pro #10098 boar brush
Osaka ceramic suribachi bowl
The Bunny V3.1 & Chick blade
Proraso Blue after shave balm


Genuine imported shave soap from London? Thank you Chris @Bama Samurai! I did try to face lather and thought about it, so I used a boar brush because this is a hard soap. Just couldn't get enough to load until the puck softened. The cake hasn't firmly stuck to the bottom of the Grundtal container. So to the bowl I went - lather happened. It's got a smooth scent that satisfies and slick cushion is followed by great residual. The Bunny is working well with fives shaves in the last nine days. Don't think I'll go WILD (comb), but may run with it until the blade degrades. This session required some extra effort below my jaw line. Paid off in a very smooth error free DFS. Skipped the alum & went straight to a non-alcoholic balm. I'm not a fan of licorice though this milky juice does have it listed. It's Glycyrrhiza Glabra rather than anise based. To my nose I smell muscadine grapes.
Good Shaves Y'all!

 

SEptember 9, 2017
Cobra Classic
Schick Proline (7)
BSB-2 with Vie Long 2 Band Fan
Reef Point Tranquility
Fine Lavender


​

I have enjoyed using this hardware and software lineup for the week. The Cobra paired with the Schick Proline blade has proved to be a very smooth and efficient shaver. So as expected this morning's shave was a drama free near perfect shave. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am ready for a motorcycle ride to visit my Mom. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

 

I do enjoy the Avon 4 Men "Maxwell 23 Tribute" A.S. There's still plenty to go(I'm down to the middle of the rear wheels).
