Hi all!
I got my my Feather Super Professional blades, a pack of 200.
That's 400 shaves, nice.
Oh but....
I saw my Schick B-20 blades and I can't remember the last time I used one, that's just not right.
So I got out my PAL Injecto-Matic razor and loaded it with a B-20.

Now a first for me, I filled up a small container with water and got out the hand mirror. I sat on the couch with my shaving apron on, and shaved, while watching th TV.
Now I normally shave in the morning but being Saturday and having things to work on, I put shaving off till evening.



Some say that the Schick B-20 blades are more harsh than the true injector blades, but I feel they shave better with no pulling or tugging making for a smoother more comfortable shave.

With a relaxing head and face shave shave with a different twist.
No problems, nicks, cuts or burn.

I find that injector razors don't shave like a super efficient tool. But I always get a comfortable shave and the B-20 blades make these razors a few notches better.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Enjoy

Joe.

 

fine shave Terry.hope you are well..

 

up for tomorrow..

 

It's good to change your routine once in while Terry. I just want to say that my Schick E3 is efficient with Chick blades. It's a ymmv thing.

 

Thanks Joe.
I like my E3 with B-20's, but I'm biased.

That is quite understandable.

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

Everything in my shave set up worked together superbly....It's been a while since i last used the Brut ASL + Splash-On Lotion duo together and forgot how wonderful they are!....Excellent post shave duo.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

 

I like Pinaud so, I had to try it! The scent is familiar but not like booze.

 

Terrific shave and setup Barry. Although I don't own an adjustable injector razor like your Parker, I think it is a great design. The only other razor that I am aware that has the same configuration is the Supply Razor. Enjoy your afternoon!

 

Another very nice shave day! The new Fatip "Grande" gave me a Grande shave! 2nd use of the Gillette Silver Blue blade and snapped in half for binning.
MWF the soap and Proraso Blue cooled my face.

Started with a face washing with washcloth and Ivory bar soap. Proraso Blue is a good summer pre-shave as it cools my face. I bloomed the MWF with a little hot water on top while I washed my face and applied the pre-shave cream. The Grande is aggressive yet efficient and gave me a close 2-pass shave.
Alum bar raised a little feedback but, no cuts, nicks, or errors today. Very pleasant. In my opinion, the Grande shaves just as nice as the vintage 1920's & 1930's Gillette and it looks a lot like a 1920's razor but in chrome rather than brass. I think Fatip is made with brass and plated. This razor has more heft than the Fatip Slant with the hollow handle.

I washed my face with the remainder of the lather from the bowl and brush. No dome shave today. The Pinaud does have a hint of Whiskey and Wood for sure. Nice! I also used a small dab of the Proraso balm.

I plan on using again tomorrow with a Feather blade.

 

Great shave, pic, setup and a very detailed post Hogie. Enjoy your day!

 

There must be a server problem or something....every post or like takes a LONG time to go thru! It never did this before and now it's been like this for 2 days.

 

If you like aggressive razors, the Fatip "Grande" is a nice one
