SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

You enablers, you! Now I want one of these early Injectors.

 

I like the mug. Where did you find it?

 

My last two days with the Old Type were great. Both near BBS after 2 pass & minor touch up. Face lather with the C.O. Bigelow and the VDH boar brush worked well. Not as luxurious as with the scuttle and the badger, but sufficient. Had to add some additional cream to my face between passes, but all turned out well. Boy, the Old Type is amazing. Love it with the Astra SP. Went a little slow and enjoyed every minute of it. No irritation at all.

 

Razor: Valet Auto Strop/ Red Tip(6) Feather blade)
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: Frendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Black Ebony Handle 22/49
Soap: TSD Coconut
A/S: TSD Coconut
Day 6

Another very good shave this evening with the Valet and 2 passes. Cleanup with the Red Tip, which doesn't feel very aggressive after using the Valet.
The pleasant smell of Coconut from TSD soap followed by the same with TSD A/S Coconut aftershave.

 

It was part of a set that my wife purchased for me at Nancy Boy in San Fransisco. I like it a lot because I own the razor on it.

 

That's soooooo you MrC. - Looking Sharp!

 

Semantics question. Does it violate the spirit of SEptember, to use a twin blade in an injector?

 

Yes it does.
The rules state you have to send all your other injector razors to me. Sorry.

 

I haven't violated the rules yet. It's merely a hypothetical question.
But here is a description straight from Razor Emporium. Note the bold text.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The vintage Schick Injector Twin Blade Shaving System is a magnificent single edge Safety Razor set that comes with the remarkable Schick Injector Razor and a Twin Blade Injector Loader which makes it easy and convenient to replace blades after use. The Injector razor features a highly durable black grip handle that is great for those hard to reach areas. The design of the Schick Injector makes the feel and quality of the shave provided comparable to that of a straight edge razor. It is affordable in price, has a comfortable design and is easy to use.

 

I'm sure @Bama Samurai will be by shortly, but I'd think he'd say something like - it's your focus, go for it!

I'll send my mailing address by PM.

 

Great looking set! I likey!

 

No. Have at it. Please let me know how it goes, I've been interested in the twin blade.

 

Thanks my friend. I've been to that website. That's where I figured out that my J is shortened. The J doesn't look like it opens. The G has the spring that sets into a catch that looks like it could open. I have a G8.

 

SEptember Focus - SE Razors

This Monday means a change of razors. I've used the Schick Model J for a week and found it very mild. I finally this morning got a decent shave out of it.

Monday's setup:

Razor: Eversharp-Schick Model G8
Blade: Schick
Brush: Semogue 1320
Soap: Stirling Margarita's in the Arctic

UPDATE: This is a pic for the razor only, the other stuff is just for background effect.

 

I thought so. I'll give it a try.

 

We all have seen our Focus Group Coordinator Chris aka @Bama Samurai SOTD's where he uses the La Toja shave stick, Chris has great reviews about this product. I have a stick somewhere? But I'm not willing to rip my den apart for it. So I ordered a tube of La Toja shaving cream for sensitive skin that I'll be using later this week.
I haven't been this excited about a product since I ordered the Mongoose.

 

Wrong brush?

 

I like your impressions of the Old Type. I was thinking of making that my October Focus.

Today’s shave started off Chilly with the Frostbite Soap, included a Black Ice Witch Hazel Face Freeze, and ended with an eye watering, icy splash of Frostbite Aftershave. As Lepew would say OO’ La La! Two pass bliss today. Have a good holiday all!

It seems to me there may be of point confusion here. There are no issues whatsoever using a twin blade injector in an injector focus. However, it might not fit the spirit of the exercise of SEptember. SEptember is a forum activity started by @GDCarrington on his thread that is coincidentally appearing on the 30 Day because many of the guys have selected focus criteria that conforms to SEptember. I personally feel that people should find a way to participate in as many forum activities as they so desire, and I am posting to GDC's thread as well as here. Maybe this helps?
