Injector & SE Party !!!

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I haven't seen one like it. This was my first shave with a Speed RAZOR, and it shaves every bit as well as the later model Speed SHAVER with which I'm well accustomed. I hesitated to use it for fear the decal would slough off, but it held up to a good polish. It also appears to have some sort of sealant protecting the decal. It will surely break my heart the day the decal is compromised, but I'm not one to just hoard something like this. I use all my razors, but I take very good care of them.

I find it rather interesting that some folk praise the performance of a Razor, but then state it is too aggressive to use as a Daily Shaver. As a person
who really needs to Shave Daily , I prefer a Razor which not only delivers a great Shave but one that can be used every day.I am now on my 5th consecutive Shave with the Hiram and I am consistently getting problem free Top Notch Shaves. The handle on this Razor makes it so easy to use and it so good working ATG,and puts most other others to shame when clearing the jawline and neck.

Recently acquired in a lot of items. I decided to give it a go if the shim I had made for the Enders Speed Shaver would work in this one since the blades are supposed to work in both razors. Well it does and it almost approximates an original Enders blade except for the gap. The only way I could get it loaded was blade down for now. Also like the Speed Shaver the blades are just a certain type of hair too wide so I had to file the edge slightly. This razor has plenty of blade feel but not much bite. It tugs and scrapes more so that cuts. End result it is a very close shave but nothing spectacular about the razor or shave that I would continue on with this razor in this configuration. If I can get it loaded with the shim first then blade it should improve the shave with more blade gap.

Occam- Hiram on Plate3
Feather Proguard [ 6 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

Have just completed 6 back to back Shaves with the Hiram on a No3 plate [ most aggressive] with a Feather Proguard blade. The Shaves are not only
smooth and comfortable, but with not too much effort I am getting consistently close all round finishes. I am beginning to think that the Hiram may be the best Razor that I have used. I know that other Razors in my stable will not be getting much use, and may need to be disposed of.

I had a very enjoyable cold water shave today. I went with the PAABOCS using a 4th use Nacet and the TNNSER 3D using a 3rd use Meijer SS blade. Both razors performed very well. Sterling pharaohs dreamsicle on a RazoRock Bruce lathered quite well even with cold water. All in all a great shave especially with the audio feedback of these two razors.

 

Audio feedback?

 

William Enders, Personna blade, shave 3


I figured out how to load the shim under the blade so time for another go with this razor. End result it is not as aggressive or as close of a shave compared to it being loaded with the shim over the blade.

 

The sound of the razor cutting each hair. It is amplified by these razors more than most.
