Yaqi Ruby Red(24mm, Frigate Class)
Crown King Old Time Lime

Stirling Lime PSB

 

I have not used my Schick Type-G in a long time and recently loaded it up with a new blade. Such a nice razor...so intuitive in how it handles. I often wonder why I use other razors.

 

Pre: Cold water face wash,
Brush: Omega 11137 Boar
Soap: CRSW Bergamot & Bay
Razor: E-R 1914
Blade: Gem PTFE
Post: Cold water rinse, Benjamin's Mentholated ASL (sample)

My third different Benjamin's sample and my least favourite of the three, although I do like them all.
The Pimento is the one for me, and if I buy a Benjamin's that will be the one.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Schick G1 is my all-time favorite razor. So nimble. I like your term of intuitive. Well put.

 

8/6/18 - Monday night shave
8/7/18 - Tuesday night shave.

I used my Rare SCHICK TYPE L with a Purple handle - also this Type L was advertised and marketed for the dames - but its the same as the mans razor - just a purple handle.
Used a twin blade wich really makes the Type L efficient. The Twin Blade is also Rare - it is made in the USA but was sold in Canada - I think its from the mid 80's judging from the package and the cardboard is not yellow. This was shave # 1 & 2 - so this new blade was just outstanding.

ER 1914 [ 12 tooth ]
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

Another Vintage SE Shave, this time with the ER 1914. Though I generally prefer longer handles, I somehow manage to get good shaves with the 1914 without any problems. It is not as aggressive as the Streamline I used yesterday and shaves very smoothly but noisily, and delivers a very nice close Shave.
Handled properly these Vintage SE deliver excellent quality Shaves, as good as those provided by their
modern counterparts.

 

Thank you, gentlemen!

 

Thursday's Shave


Clubman Classic Shave Cream
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #30
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional SE
CWR
Clubman Pinaud AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. I used Clubman Classic Shave Cream as a pre-shave. It is an non-lathering SC, so I just applied a thin layer before face-lathering the Williams Mug Shave Soap with the Jayaruh #30 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
