The I1 is such a good razor. That one is pretty!

 

Thanks Perry, I really like this head design and all of the other models that are based on it.

 

Love this setup! Classic in every respect.

 

Great ensemble Clint.....

 

Razor: Alumigoose w/ Custom made Aluminum Handle Britian
Blade: KAI Captain Titan (6)
Brush: DFS LE Nathan Clark Envy White Handle Aluminum Color, Anodized Dark Bronze. #41/150
Soap: Reef Point Soap Admiralty
A/S: Lucky Tiger, Old Spice
Decanter: Old Spice Ship's Flask Flying Cloud 1985 ID #3630
Bowl: TDG Maple Cherry Ribbed #8


The razor only weighs a total of 54.6 grams so I was a little worried it wouldn't have the weight to give a close shave. Wrong again. The handle was 37.8 grams and felt smooth. It was not slippery at all. The brush and TDG bowl whipped up the Reef Point Soap Admiralty soap in no time into and beautiful lather. I can safely say that this is a buy again soap. The Flying Cloud is one of my favorite Old Spice decanters. A little photo heavy.




Back of Decanter:

 

Thank you Gus.

 

Great lineup Doug. With that endorsement I have added Admiralty to my buy list for 2018

 

Wonderful picture, Doug! I like the write up on the back of the decanter.

 

Yeah, me, too.

 

Thank you Clint. I hope you like it as much as I do.

 

Thank you. I happy I decided to include the back write up.

 

9/13/17 - SCHICK Injector TYPE N1 - vintage Gillette Twin-jector blade on 2nd shave - BBS and great as always,,

 

SEptember 13, 2017

Pre-shave: Hot shower then bloom water
Brush: Omega 10049 Boar
Razor: Vintage Ever-Ready Shovel Head
Blade: Gem Stainless SE (2)
Post-shave: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Men's Balm, Stetson AS

2 days worth of growth for my first time to shave with this Ever-Ready. I was a little nervous at first, but I gradually settled into a pleasant enough angle with this tool. Ultimately I managed a DFS in three passes and one small, but bloody nick on my chin due to a split second of carelessness. Still, this razor made me think twice about using it for my head shave so I moved the blade over to my OCMM to complete the task.

Have a great week my friends!

Today was surgery day so I was wanting a mild scent soap and a close shave just it case I was unable to shave tomorrow. The brush is a new brush that I got in the post the day before. This is the brush I bought a month ago, it finally arrived. I need to use it some more before giving my opinion on it though. I was able to do two passes from the soap in the brush the first time around. After applying a little more soap I did the third pass followed by some clean up on my jaw line. I finished the shave with a cold water and some Thayers AS. The results were a DFS. I have also found a new friend in this razor. It has gone from staying in it's box at the back of my den with me regretting picking it, to the front of my den with me reaching for it when I need a really close shave.
