SoS: August 2021

Still, very cool to see one in use! The one I had several years ago had a crack in it as well, at the bottom of the ferrule. Seems they were very prone to this as I have only seen two on eBay France this year and one of them was cracked as well.

 

The nylon knot works well but the tips are a little prickly.

Thank you Clint. It is a good brush.

 

Excellent 2 pass shave with this gear.

 

Sunday Schick shave, Aug 8th 2021, Closing day of the 2020 or 2021 Tokyo Japan Olympics and thought it would be a good time to use my Schick injector, theme type Champions, Schick was a sponsor of the 1976 Montreal Canada Olympics when they still had a niche spot for injectors in the shaving world. This razor could of been designed for the Schick Twin II blade & works very well with this blade.

Razor: Schick injector L theme type Champions- offered during the 1976 Montreal Olympics, excellent simple design.
Blade: Schick twin II blade, excellent blade for daily shavers, the Birth of cartridge razors came from these blades IMO.
Soap: Razorock Sant Marie del Fiore, nice mild tobacco Vanilla scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm 2band badger(Finest), Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great scrub, great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash the whole face with CeraVe hand bar Cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore AS with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Schick injector L type with a Twin II blade.


Have some great shaves!

Thank you Gary. Loved breaking in the new Boker. I was a bit nervous with the French point, but it wasn't a problem

 

That Tech looks like new. Dig the reflection of the flag on the case lid. Nice.
