Thanks Perry - I really love this shave and picture - Speick!!! Schick 66 ! Soap Commander - all great - Peace - jamie
Thur 7th December My Third Vintage SE Shave, after trialling the modern SE/Gem Razor -Sabre V1. These oldies are a whole lot more aggressive than the Sabre, and IMHO produce a closer Shave. Today I used an ER1914 , and it never ceases to amaze me that I can get such a good shave with a Razor with such a short handle. It is noisy though !
Thanks, Jamie! I didn't have a terrific aftershave to match with this scent. Speick is neutral and fades quickly so it worked great. I am wondering about some Stirling Glacial Spearmint for this scent.
I posted this rare SCHICK GRIP Razor - black handle and Type N head - Really Mild and this was a first shave with a vintage Gillette Injector plus platinum blade - (i have used the Gillette twinjector - never these) and no where near the sharpness of its contemporary schick plus platinum blades - so i had zero fear of getting a weeper. The shave felt like the mild DERBY DE blade which I loved when I was still a neubie DE shaver. So an hour after the shave I was amazed at how close the shave really was - so this injector blade is certainly different and a nice change of pace - very mild and smooth blade with a mild injector....
Great shave and photos! I often feel more smooth an hour or so after the shave with SEs or injectors. Not sure why!
I have glacial Wintergreen from stirling - man oh man it freezes!! I love it and my 8 year old daughter gabby loves all my wierd scents - she says i smell like tooth paste - of course my wife despises all menthol type after shaves, but thats fine with me. but yes speick dont last - great for night shaves- being a night shaver - I also get to splash some A.s. and balm in the mornings - for the day I usually chose PAA/CK... but today i did the master topaz with a squire of COnfidence balm and i mix it in my balm - the mixture of the 2 scents are HEAVEN!
I TOTALLY agree- and I thought i was crazy for saying it - i get that feeling even more with these vintage blades from the 1970s- I occasionally see them on the cheap on ebay - these blades were cheap - i also love the look of the magazine - very retro

It’s OK, but I wouldn’t buy it again had I used it first. I can get just as good shaves with my Edwin Jagger DE89 and a Feather blade. It is beautifully made and does give very nice shaves, but I could have purchased a gorgeous straight for the money.
