January 24, 2018 Yesterday's EUROPEAN Williams Wednesday... Back to my Purple Schick Type L - this time with my favorite blades - a 1974 Schick Plus Platinum made in the U.S.A. The Type L does take more work, since it is more mild. But again Zero Irritation, Zero Blood and a BBS was achieved after a long pickup pass The Williams Tube was not very slick, but I used a lot of product & and added water every pass- so it was slick enough, the post shave was good because of the american Aqua Velva Balm - now that stuff is great and was on sale at walgreens last month (so i have extra tubes) says clearance? Wonder if Walgreens is not going to offer it? That would be a shame as this is a great balm. Peace, JAMIE B.

Fri 26th Jan Omega 11126 boar P & B Spitfire Mongoose B3 Schick Proline [ 6 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion I have had some good Shaves recently with various Injectors. However, IMHO there is nothing quite like the satisfaction gained by getting a great Shave from a SE, as they require more care and attention whilst Shaving. Today, I got it just right with the Mongoose, smooth and comfortable with a superb all round finish. Did not even have to think about an application of alum.
Great shave this morning with the GEM MMOC using a Personna GEM SS blade, these vintage SE razors amaze me!

SOTD January 26, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: Personna Razor: Schick G4 '66' injector Brush: Omega 10049 boar Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave WTG, touch up Nice as usual for Friday. This is an automatic setup for me and it's always great. I'm really quite pleased with the Personna blade in the Schick 66. As I mentioned I had written them off for me due to a bad experience, but this blade has been terrific. Have a great day!
Last Night's Shave / Jan. 25th SCHICK TYPE L - Lady Razor 1974 Schick Plus Platinum blade on 2nd shave - I just can't get over how much Sharper this blade is to the Modern "Chick". The chick is a great safe shave, but it does not compare to its grandfather, the disco plus platinums are just as sharp as modern day Feather, yesterday I got cocky and rushed and there was a little blood, but the Alum Stone eliminated it with ease. PEACE - JAMIE B.
Terrific photo and setup as usual, Jamie! Does that aftershave say Avon Clint? @clint64 needs a bottle of that!
YES!!! That is CLINT Aftershave!! Douglas Symthe Turned me on to Clint - he is a big fan of vintage Avon. It smells like vintage Aramis! I find with vintage aftershave's its a "hit or miss" kind of thing. I guess it depends on how it has been stored. I can say this bottle is fresh! it was a NOS bottle. Well I just checked Amazon and that seller does not have then anymore I am sure Clint would not be to hard to track - probably not very popular - but it is one of my best VINTAGE splashes. I have lots of Avon's - Tai Winds, spicey, deep woods, wild country, evergreen - and CLINT is my favorite
I have a Autostrop VC-1, I'm guessing yours is a VC-2. Mines in what I call good user shape. Regardless of the finish they are awesome shavers. Straight Razors on a stick in my opinion. Clayton Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I think the model B came out before the Valet models. If I'm right that razor should be early 1900's?
Walmart still carries the AV 5in1 Balm. I used mine yesterday, good stuff. Clayton Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
It really is - nice mild Aqua Velva Scent - great price - non greasy balm and its AQUA VELVA PRODUCT ! thats all we need to know
My gold bullet tip is my favorite but I need to bring out my Micromatic OC and try it again. They are built like a tank and made to last. Clayton Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
