  1. Grey cup Sunday, Ottawa VS Calgary. I think I'm going to cheer for ..............Ottawa. Calgary has maybe some advantage being close to home turf.

  2. I thought for sure you would root for Calgary. Wrong again. :happy102:
    Should be a great game. :happy088:

  3. I shaved with this fantastic Canadian E2 with a G1 handle over three years ago shortly after I got it - and then forgot about it. Well, it won’t be three years between shaves again. It provided an amazingly smooth and close shave. One of the best in the den. :happy036:

    Football is a big deal in your family with your Son doing very well in the CFL. Right now Calgary is winning 27 to 14 with 1 minute to go, always next year!

    I have fitted my version 1 Razor with a N03 [ V2] which I acquired because I could not get a Shave with the original. Now I can get a smooth enough Shave with an acceptable but not a startling finish.All in all a rather disappointing Razor.

    Nice shave with the GEM Micromatic. Light pressure and allow the weight of the razor to do the work. Fantastic! Have a great day!

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Van Der Hagen Proraso Green Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injectomatic Razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  15. Terrific, Clint! Looking forward to your thoughts on the Supply.
  16. Thank you Perry. You can see that it requires a different angle the Schick Injectors.
  17. Definitely. The handle was almost perpendicular to my face with the Supply. I had trouble with the angle, especially on my neck, so I determined after a trial that it wasn't a good razor choice for me.

  20. I think the angle is harder for those that have a lot of time with Schick injectors. The razor feels a lot like a downsized Cobra to me. Now if it works that well, I am in business.
