Injector & SE Party !!!

Here is another Missed Micromatic Monday Make up shave. Hopefully this doesn't become a trend.

Gem Jr Parade
Cella
Maggard's synthetic
Pinaud Clubman Lilac Vegital

Great shave with very little irritation even though it was a bit rushed.

 

I really enjoy my Gem Featherweight with a Gem Ted Pella.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
3D Printed Brush
Purple Wabbit
Personna injector
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Vegetal

This was shave #2 with the Purple Wabbit. The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Purple Wabbit razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Williams Wed- 26th August
This Razor /Blade combo is rather predictable I just cannot imagine having any problems. A no fuss top class Shave every time. The Grosvenor [404 -mixed] works so well with the soap, creamy lather in seconds.

 

I'm new here and have a question about the Shick Injector style razors.
Is there a version of the injector style that accommodates two blades?

 

Wednesday's Shave

Ever Ready 1912
GEM S/S PTFE (2)
Semogue 820 Boar
Vintage Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Aftershave

 

SE SOTD, Wed, Aug 26th 2020

Razor: Oneblade Core, version 2- Mfg 2018> mild aggression, Excellent daily driver with a Gem modified blade IMO.
Blade: Modified Gem SS PTFE (10) Excellent blade, very sharp, good longevity, smooths out as it is used & low cost per shave if that matters to some.
Soap: Tabac- like this soap for lather qualities and post shave- scent is a mild flowery clean fragrance that is OK.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24 mm synthetic- I enjoy this brush because it lathers any type of soap well, soft tips.
Pre shave: brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aoe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + any pickups.
Post shave: Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Oneblade Core with my modified Gem coated blade.



Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

 

Thur 27th August

RR 400 SE Plissoft noir
P & B Citra Royale
RR s/s Hawk V3-A plate
Schick Proline [ 4 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S lotion

I get good shaves with the Occams V1 & Oren , but they perhaps do not have the same feel as a more conventional looking Razors. I had a most enjoyable and rewarding Shave with The Hawk, a great value S/S Razor.

Fri 28th August

Cyril Salter /MS. ED2band
Lea Classic soap
RazoRock s/s Hawk V3-OC
Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink [ 5 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

There is no doubt in my mind that Hawk-OC is more aggressive than Hawk-A plate, that I used yesterday. With the OC you can get a really close finish, but as a daily shaver I prefer the smoothness and comfort of the A plate which is still very efficient, and delivers consistently good Shaves.

 

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
3D Printed Brush
Russian SHaDE
Astra SP Half Blade
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian SHaDE razor with an Astra SP Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

A bit more concentration required today, as this Razor is so light and needs a light touch to avoid mishap.Got there in the end but the Shave took longer than normal as I think the blade was not at its best.
