    Brian I like the vintage feel of the photo. The PRC is just a great looking razor.

    Razor: Etched Eversharp Schick G1
    Blade: Chick (1)
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
    Cream: KMF fragrance-free
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    If you saw my post in the Haul thread, then you know I picked up two rather special Schick Injectors- an E2 and a G1, both beautifully etched. Although I almost feel bad about using such unique razors, curiosity got the better of me and I tried the G1 this morning. Now, a G1 is not my favorite Injector as it seems like Eversharp was playing around a bit with the geometries at the time. This one, however, seemed similar enough to other razors I like that I though it was worth a go.

    The results... It's definitely the nicest G1 experience I've had, though I still prefer a G8. It definitely brought home the baby albeit with a bit of diaper rash (a somewhat annoying weeper on my chin). Definitely, a special razor, however.

    I might try the E2 tomorrow. I do have an early morning, though, and a customer-facing meeting so I'll more likely play it safe with a known commodity.

    Like you I just have to try the razors no matter what. Glad the G1 worked out.

    Thanks, Clint. Very busy right now but will slow down some after our concert on Monday night.

    It wasn’t my first custom Straight Razor, thank you.

    I’m glad you decided to use the razors, they are too cool for school and I’m glad they are getting used, functional art.

    I'll use this soap and razor for the next few days. I've received a few Splashes from a Black Friday order and will used them over the next few days. First up is the Jeeves splash (thanks for the excellent review, Perry @PLAla ) with this combo. This soap is getting lower, so I ordered another of it on sale last week as well.
    I face-lathered a nice lather this morning and had 3 very enjoyable passes, plus a little touch up, with this excellent razor. I realized that I haven't loaded a Polsilver in awhile, and remembered quickly why it is a favourite of mine. Smooth, close shave.
    I splashed on the Jeeves and can definitely say that it is a tobacco forward scent (hence the title:cool:...I warned @wristwatchb yesterday I am lousy at describing scents...). I also pick up a few ingredients that give it a vaguely Mastro Miche type of scent. An hour later, I can still pick up a nice scent and my face feels great.
    Have a great day all!

    Glad you tried the Jeeves splash! It's good stuff. I used that scent today as well.
