Brought out the Injectomatic today. There was, iirc, a Personna with a few shaves on it already loaded in the Meatgrinder. Got the usual great Stirling lather from this sample that refuses to die and had an event-free 3 pass shave. A little left on my lower right side neck is all that is stopping me from being completely smooth.
This razor definitely demands your attention and requires very, very little pressure. It does deliver a good shave when dialed in.
Have a great day all!

 

Love the warm tones and colors of the photo Jason. Congrats on avoiding blood with the Meatgrinder.

 

200 fountain pens! When you go in, you go all in, John.

 

This is my first half-hollow blade. Got a great shave with it.

 

Great lineup Pete.

Have a great trip, Perry! You’ve deserved some R and R for sure.

Beautiful pic! The foray back to Stirling sounds like it has been very successful, Clint.

Stunning photo as usual, Jim! I don’t think I’ve used the Barbershop soap this month, I’ll need to rectify that tomorrow.

 

Thank you Jason. This LE Stirling is a winner in my book. I’ll pick up some menthol Stirling soaps next year.

Excellent setup, Neal!

Fantastic photo, Perry! Enjoy your trip!

Beautiful shot, Clint!

Excellent setup, Jim! You'll be going from one end of the aggressive spectrum to the other!

Very nice, Pete! Is that a Dovo Best ?

 

Beautiful Jason.

It has been quite some time since I used the Shake Sharp razor, probably over a year. Which is a real shame because I had a most excellent shave with it this morning. For those of you who have never hear of the Shake Sharp they were produced in the 1940's and 1950's and use DE blades. They qualify as an SE though because they only expose one edge of the blade at a time. They have a mechanism that allows you to shake the razor head back and forth and it will pass a small hone back and forth over the bottom edge of the blade. Supposedly four or five shakes on each side of the blade would restore the sharpness of the blade as new.Now back to the shave. This razor really allows you to use a very shallow angle and man does it sing! Took my time this morning and just enjoyed the process. Three passes left me with zero irritation and brought home the baby! I finished off with my homemade Tangerine and Tea Tree oil AS and my face is soft and smooth, let the faceturbating commence! Have a great day my friends!

 

Nice photo and shave, Pete!
