Injector and SE Shaves

Monday 30th August
Yaqi Sagrada Familia - Old Spice - Ever Ready 1914 - Gem Stainless Coated #8 - Old Spice A/S - Aloe Vera Gel

 

The Gem Featherweight Deluxe is a fantastic mild yet efficient razor. And I love the scent and performance of the Novelist.

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #426
Gillette Twinjector
Personna Injector
CWR
Osage Rub

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #426 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Twinjector with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

hey haven't seen Stuart in a while from you....

 

I heard him giggling in the back of the cabinet and decided it was time to bring him out

 

Yep.. I guess he wanted a Banana !!

 

This Schick Type H - aka The Hussy - provides one of the best shaves you can get. I did a write up years ago on the now tragically defunct Injector Party thread about a head to head with the PAL Injecto-Matic. The H came out on top - barely but it was better.

Today was no exception - no drama, quick, easy, and super super close and smooth

Sharp eyes will notice the design inspiration this razor lent to @twhite ’s Bunny Razor

I have not used The ATT for some time, and used this guarded blade borrowed from another Razor. Was a distinct lack of blade feel, but the Combo obviously worked.

Williams Wednesday- 1st September

The Grosvenor 404mixed
Williams Mug soap
ATT SE1
Kai Captain Titan Protouch MG ( 8 )
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

The Kai guarded blade in this Razor is very forgiving, and without much blade feel it is still efficient and delivers a close finish. Though on its 8th outing the blade did not tug at all and a Top Notch finish was attained.

 

Great shave today with the Schick Lady Eversharp. The long handle is extra nice for shaving the back of my own neck.
