Injector & SE Party !!!

Wed 17th Jan
Today used a Schick G8, which is not one of my favoured Injectors as in the past I have found it to be rather harsh in comparison with others. Fitted with a Proline blade I found it to work better but still not as smooth as other Razors using the same blade. I was quite pleased with the ease of Shave , but honestly the overall quality of finish
lags behind that I can attain with other Injectors, but I do have a strong beard growth.

 

I have a G8 that feels like my E2. I can not tell the shaves apart really. Light years different then my G1.

 

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams Mug Shave Soap
JR#206 2-band Badger
Schick H (the Hussy)
Schick Twin
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Vegetal

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #206 2-band Badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick H Razor with a Schick Twin blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Hussy is delivering BBS shaves in just two passes. I got the Williams down just right and it rinses very easily. Awesome shave today.

That looks like a G1 in the picture, not a G8. The G8 has the plastic handle with the Googie-inspired accents.

I love the G8, but find the G1 too harsh for me personally.

 

Good picture of fine products Tom.

 

Wow, how cool is that.

 

Thanks Doug.

The Tabac is some good stuff.

Nice. Now you just need a pipe to settle in with.

 

agree, that aint no G8 ...
I am also G8 fan, my favorite type G, and the one I have was NOS when it 1st used it.

 

exactly! Not a good brush for the fruggle shaver...uses a TON of product, but man...i filled a bowl with lather last night

 

Do you find it agressive feeling?
