SOS: April 2021

Parker adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 2


Figured I'd give this razor another go. This razor is the perfect example of how a sharp blade improves a mild razor. You can get some of your best shaves and worst shaves with this razor just by the blade choice. Personna's are a no go for me in this razor and it is full open or bust. A (s)chick blade and full open at 5 this razor is super efficient but still mild. End result BBS finish achieved.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave...It's a while since i last added the Baili BD 191 .to my razor rotation...The "Tech closed head design" gives extra protection and no risk of catching my ear lobes or under my nose with the blade ends when shaving...The weight of the razor makes it 'top heavy' of which for me i don't mind, because the hefty weight does all the work with no pressure is needed when shaving...A pleasurable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a generous splash of P&G Old Spice Swagger ASL...

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

That razor looks like it was never touched and recovered from some sealed Inca priest's tomb in South America.

 

I never knew Old Spice made a glass bottle Swagger aftershave. WTH?

SOTN

Razor: Shavecraft Tech
Blades: feather & personna
Brush: badger
Soap: maggards Tabacco / Leather
Post: medicated witch hazel
A/s : pinaud bay rum

So where to start...lets do lather first.. so from time to time this phenomenon happens when i use badger.... they act like freaking black holes! So im loading and loading and loading and lathering and lathering and lathering and nothing is happening.. there some lather but its that type of lather you get from a brush you didnt load enough soap into.. you know the kind you add a little more water than you should have.. Well if i had chosen a synthetic i could of had some awesome lather.. but no the black hole takes hold and next you know i see the bottom of my bowl when i know i have enough for atleast two more loads. Ugh!

Ok razor time. I know what i bought and so i know what to expect from this razor.. but it blows my mind the feeling these types of razors give. So the personna blade was up first.. and hot damn if it didnt feel like a scraper. Theres no way to explain it really. It rough , the blade doesnt feel sharp, the blade felt tuggy and like other razors like this, it feel like the razor literally catches on my pores with micro fractures or jaggies.. i switched to a feather and felt smoother but still the dame scraping rough feeling.
In the end, my shave was harsh and felt like it went bAck to the day i first started shaving . It wasnt pleasant

Hello there..i've had the Swagger A/S a few years now to my knowledge it was a limited edition,which i didn't know myself when P&G first put it on the market. After that It came in the white Glass bottle along with the other P&G Old spice products. It's fragrance is the same as the current white bottle though...The glass bottle gives it an equatic appearance .Yours-Barry.

Nice surprise this morning: when I woke up, I was greeted by a nice rainfall.
And I was in the mood for one of the few unscented soaps I have: a delicate scent, but very elegant, one of the finest textures I've ever seen, and very good performance.

Coupled the little vintage machine with a sharp blade that offered me an excellent and mild shave, after the stingy massage of the albionic brush.

The only downside was this recording of Ute Lemper: she was never the Tebaldi, but I heard her very down.
Always charming, but despite her personal elegance and execution....
Clock is ticking for everyone…
