Injector & SE Party !!!

Looks like @Karl G has a started New Trend around here with those Chick H Types..:rah:

Billy..

 

Personna/Pella Blades are one & the same Sir...

Billy..

 

I hope so I got mine REALLY cheap. Maybe I can make some money off of it in a few months when they all have been scooped up

 

Yup, those are Personnas. You can also get them through http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/products/preparation/blades.aspx#71940 (see 71990 and 71991)

 

This could be interesting

 

Rufus
That really hurts my feelings

 

Yes I really this type of challenge. The first thing I need to do is find out a good starting point for the blade exposure . As I will design out from there. I have a few ideas on how to make it adjustable. I will make the prototypes from Plastic most likely Delrin. Then move on to Brass if I don't slice my face off trying to dial it in.

This will be fun.

 

Billy..

 

...and I'm sure you will have no shortage of beta testers if you want them. (Sign me up!)

 

Oh no, no, no Tom! I'm not laughing at you...


I'm actually laughing at @Billyfergie 's turn of phrase...we all use the term Chick razor blade when talking about a Chinese-made Shick blade.

Thaaaaat's what I was talking about!

(Truth be told...I've actually been cruising the usual haunts to find one of those razor's myself and was really acknowledging Billy's statement that @Karl G has started a new trend!)

Clear now?

We good Tom? ol' buddy, ol' pal!

 

Yes all better now. I am just a little sensitive today Besides I know it is all in good fun. As you are the master ribber around here.
It is always fun

Tom

 

Oh, I forgot to list the side effects in my shave report... Sorry about that.

 

3D printing?

 

No actually I will be machining them. I will get way better tolerances that way. I will be having some pretty close fitting components and that will require tighter tolerances than what the 3D printing can provide.

I will post pictures when I start so you all can see the progress. I will have to do this on the weekends at work. I have some rough sketches right now. I will then Draw them up on my CAD program to see how it will go together and wright the program for machining.

Tom

 

Maybe we are witnessing the birth of a new razor

And brass huh? Hmm...something like a SE Hone 15?

Drool....

 

HAHA You never know. NOT. That would take some real initiative on my part.
If it works out ok I will make a couple extra to have you guys try out and give feed back to dial it in more.

Tom

 

If you need a beta tester, I'm at your disposal. Really!

 

Tonights Shave First shave with my B2
Razor B2
Blade Chick(1)
Shaving Cream AOS Sandalwood
Brush 3D Pure Boar WD 24mm


So this is the first time shaving with this B2. I had 2 previous shaves on my B1. As I had a fantastic shave last night with my E2 I did not have a lot to shave off tonight.
My first pass tonight was not my normal WTG. I instead opted for XTG as my growth was on the short side. The angle on these Repeaters are more square to your face than I am used to. I took my time to really get the right angle. It worked out fine. I got very nice feedback. This B2 really glides over your face. I had zero tugging and nice removal. I rinsed off and found that it pretty much reduced it to what a normal second pass would leave. I will tend to mark this up to the XTG and shorter stubble.

My second and final pass was ATG. this went well. The only area that tugged at all (very slight ) was on my upper lip. Rinsed off and felt around. I could feel no stubble on my face at all. The only area was my Adams apple and a tiny bit under my jaw. As my face was well lubricated still, Gust moistened it a bit and did a cleanup. This resulted in a DFS +. could not give BBS as the neck area was not as good as the rest.

Over all this is a very efficient and smooth razor for me. It will take some getting used to the strange angle. But what the heck it is a nice problem to have.

Shaved with my Schick G1 today along with some very nice homemade soap my lovely girlfriend gifted me. This was the best shave I've ever had.
