I agree with everyone else. Take them back to Walgreens for an exchange. That's weird. @jimjo1031 has a good idea too. Maybe if you call Personna first before exchanging they'll strike a deal with you to return them directly to them.

 

Tabac Tuesday

With Jeff asking about the 1909, I decided to bust him out.
I got a BBS 3 pass shave. I smell fantastic. Not my opinion, my wife said so. I am inclined to agree with her.

For the last few days I have been extolling the Virtues of the Supply SE with a V2 No3 Plate. This of course
only takes a single blade.
Whilst I rate its performance highly, that performance is somewhat overshadowed by Todays Shave with the elegant Schick N3, fitted with a Twin Blade. I find it hard to understand how the combo is still performing
superbly after 17 outings.

 

I think agreeing with your wife on this one is a SAFE BET!!!

Love the picture....Can't take my eyes off it!!! This is a shot for the Calender for sure!

 

That is a first for me. I agree it is probably just a spring issue but if you bust open you got blades all over the place. Take them back is my take on it.

When the Wife and I did our weekly grocery shopping at the local Wall-E World I found some bottles of essential oil for aromatherapy. One of the scents I got was rose. Last night I dug out my cake of Williams from the box it is packed in and added some rose EO to it. I was able to whip up a good lather with a really nice rose scent that lasted well after the shave. The GEM Push Button is coming into it's own. When I first got it I had some issues with the angle/technique around the bottom of my neck. That has all worked out now and I can get, and did get a DFS last night.

1914/PTFE . I'm trying a new method for my SE head shaves, one single ATG pass in the morning, another in the evening. Working very well. Mr. Buttered Toast here fits the program nicely. Sure is loud.

Another super smooth shave with the Type D this morning. The Tabac was smooth, slick and creamy as always! Have a great day my friends!

Excellent pictures and setups men.

 

Thank you, Doug!

 

Beautiful Photo! That kit is a heart-breaker...

 

6 more pages to go, til this Party makes 1000 pages....
How do you guys think we should celebrate?....

One thought, everyone could put together their Signature Kit and shave and post photos.
Or series of kits if picking one is impossible....We should stretch the celebration out....as usual....

Maybe a pix of your signature kit and one of your dream kit, if you haven't acquired the parts needed for them to be he same...

 

Thank you Lloyd!

 

If y'all don't mind, I'd like to share part of my collection. These are most of my GEM/ER type SEs, and I had a couple of pics available to share. The first pic is of my Micromatics, G-Bar, Featherweight, and PushButton, laid out in a cigar box I dressed up per instructions found on another shaving forum. The 2nd pic is my "older" SEs - some 1912s with various handles, a 1914, a 1924, and a GEM Damaskeene, in a box I plan to dress up. The GEM Damaskeene and the Ever-Ready 1924 are the two best shaving SEs that I have. I don't think either one has ever nicked me, and they seem to have that perfect balance between closeness and comfort.


I also have about a dozen or so, injector razors scattered about.

I haven't used any of my SEs in about 3-4 months. However, thumbing through the last few pages of this thread has inspired me to pull another GEM PTFE blade out of the drawer and rotate through my GEMs, for the life of the blade - should be at least 4 weeks. I'll finish up the DE blade I'm currently on and get back on the SEs this Monday.

Thanks for the inspiration!
