February 24 SOTE

Good evening.

Schick I-1 Injector Razor
Ted Pella Injector Blade (10, 11)
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Captain's Choice 45th Parallel SS and AS Stirling Alum Block
Modessa Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 26 hrs.
Dome turf: 3 days.



I picked the Schick I-1 Injector Razor to do my head and face shave. I must say I like the Pella blades a lot better in this razor than in my E-3. I went with the 45th Parallel set today. It is a hard soap, but it crumbles when I scoop it so I have to press the pieces together to form one large piece. It's my only negative with this soap. It may be that it was sitting too long on the shelf at Pasteur's Pharmacy. I have never had a soap do that before. Anyway, it still gives a nice slick and creamy lather. Here's my lather:



Did 3 passes and achieved an error-free BBS head and face shave. I had a slight alum feedback under my chin and on the right side of the top posterior of my dome.
Finished this shave in my usual manner. I am happy with this shave. Take care.

 

thank you Joe..was out with the wife and the shop appeared..and they had it in stock.for $18 canadian for 6.3 oz ,not a bad deal

 

Thank you Joe

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Most excellent Joe

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Awesome shave with the Maca Root soap Gary. I am sure Barry, @palmolive fox, can attest to it.

 

thank you Joe.

 

24 Feb 2024 Saturday shave, late post

Flexible, Favourite, Feather, Fatip, Fine, Felce, whatever grabs my Fancy

24 hours



Prep = cold water splash
Preshave = TOBS Jermyn street cream
Soap = Sterling Satsuma sample
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Muhle R89
Blade = Permasharp (3)
Passes = 3+
Post = Usual/Alum/Thayers etc + Fine Latigo

Damage = none

The plan was to take it easy on the face after may Last OC with Feather shave to give my face a rest. Not the best idea

Overall good but not enjoyable shave, The Permasharp on day 3 needed more buffing...feeling a bit raw but no damage

Still think most blades only last me 2 days

Hope you had a great Saturday

 

Can't go wrong with Stirling Satsuma. Great post and shave Chris.

 

Thx Joe

Thx again Joe

Thanks Joe, agreed

thanks Joe, intoxicating scent, nice performer

Always good to have success at the loading dock, even better to have it on the shaving dock. Nice to see things coming along slowly Paul

 

@elektrotasil Hi Asil. I see that you became a member last July and I noticed that you have liked some of our posts in this thread, but you only have 2 posts on TSD. Is there any reason why you haven't posted any shaves on this site? We generally like to have people interact on this thread so that we can get to know you and maybe give you advice on wetshaving. Based on you 2 posts and profile, you are from Turkey and 25 yrs of age. Btw, welcome to this thread.

 

There's lots of bars that come to mind Joe...

Interesting bowl Joe

Going Dutch maybe?

Glorious looking rfb and shave Gary

Hope that one these will cross my path one of these days

Thanks Joe

 

Hi thank you, honestly I love the posts and pictures on this forum and I try to check it everyday. Gotta admit I don't really commit to a 3017. I prefer to change shaving hardware each time. Lazyness is another factor, if I'm honest. Also I feel like I can't really add that much to the dialogue since I feel that my wet shaving jurney is still at infancy. So I try to absorb you guys' knowledge and lurk.

Thank you Joe.
