April 2 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Schick G-2 Injector Razor
Schick Injector Blade (1,2)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Captain's Choice 45th Parallel SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 22 hrs
Dome Turf: 3 days



I decided to use my new addition to my den and that's this Schick G-2 razor. I placed a new blade and sanitized the razor. I was surprised because I thought this razor would be more aggressive than my Schick I-1 razor because the normal pattern is that new iterations are milder. Anyway, I did 3 passes on my face to get a BBS shave, but a weep appeared on my chin. The alum took care of it. I got a nice, smooth 3 pass dome shave, but it was just shy of a BBS shave and I had to do more touch-ups than usual.
Captain's Choice always gives me a nice lather.



Did get some alum feedback on my neck and on the back of my dome. Finished with witch hazel and the matching aftershave. In conclusion, I will use this razor for 1 day stubble and for 1 or 2 day Dome Turf. Three day Dome Turf is too much for this razor. Take care.

 

Double thanks Joe.

 

Wonderful Wednesday shave Joe. The Double Duck's brand always had a fine reputation.

 

thank you Joe.
