    No brush used. Shaving Cream applied with finger-tips. I hate to think of how much of this shaving cream I used trying to figure out that it is brushless. When used as brushless, there is an amazingly smooth and protective layer that stays on your skin, easily allowing "me" a BBS shave. The stuff must have been a finalist for use with the super-collider.
    This 2nd use of the blade.

    Razor: ABC 1909 Tapered Shell(Gold) A943890
    Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow
    Pre-Shave: Face Lather
    Lather: PdP No. 63 Cream
    Aftershave: Pre de Provence No. 63 Balm
    Additional Care:
    Giorgio Armani Myrrhe Impériale
    Art of Shaving Unscented Pre-shave/Beard Oil

    I already posted this one, but decided to use the PDP 63 to justify adding to the thread. I promise to add some new ones, but I just really like shaving with the 102's and ABC's. I haven't even tried over 90% of my SE's. I'll need to shave my beard again if I am going to learn to shave with an SE. I'm not fond of learning a technique or razor on my neck.
    The only Injector I partly regret selling was my F. That was a nice looking razor. And in addition to being great looking, it was a precise shaving instrument, maybe second only to a straight.

    Yes, I do like the shave. The RFB provides the best shave of any razor I’ve used. I'm currently comparing it with a New De Luxe, & the RFB is winning.

    Razor 4/6 - Gillette Sheraton 1937 - 1938 variant
    Shave 2/2 - Ladas blade

    Shave wasn't as close as the Bic blade but still top notch. Overall this razor has outperformed all the Aristocrats with both blades. Next up the second Sheraton variant. The next 2 shaves with that will determine if these are the same razor sans rivets.

    thats cool, i love the rfb razors, they have a large following from what i see..the tech hybrid is an rfb with safety bars,which basically is a flat bottom tech..
