Injector & SE Party !!!

Glad you asked. One of the TSD denizen's (@twhite) has designed and machined a home made razor (nick-named The Bunny) that has gotten a lot of attention from many and early acclaim from one of the most discerning injector users on any forum (@Billyfergie )

You can check it out on the Home Made Injector thread - or click on the link in my signature and then click through to the thread via the link in my post. It's been a great ride following it all from idea to version three. @twhite has made a number available for pass arounds in different areas of the world.

Consider yourself invited to sign up.

 

Thank you. I saw the thread about a home made injector, but I want aware of the nickname.

 

Great writeup Billy. I think I have some of these blades. I will have to find a holder so that I may strop them and try a shave.

 

Today I bought out my VC4 and a fresh feather SS blade. The shave was pretty good but I don't think that the feather blades are all that they should be. The VC4 is reportedly the mildest of the series but the VC2 I have is the same shave wise. I'm probably going to modify this razor so I can put a GEM blade in it.
Later on, since I have a NOS Valet strop and a pack of NOS blades I want to follow Billy's lead and do it the traditional way and strop up a blade for the VC4 and give that a shot. These are fun razors to play with and if I can get the right blade in it it could be a great razor.

 

I thought maybe a picture of my injector collection would be interesting.... I don't have a bunch but I've a few decent ones! That is not a type O, it's a knockoff....

 

Nice collection. Some fine hardware you have.

 

Thanks Tom!

That is awesome! If you ever get tired of your repeaters send one my way! LOL

 

Very nice! A great picture!

 

Sweet! By the way, what is that fine looking brush from today's shave?

 

That's an Eveready 500 N with a silvertip knot that I finally finished refurbishing this week . Thanks!

cool setup Bob. Ive been searching for the Alpa Fougure to no avail.

 

The Alpa Fougere is great stuff - if you're looking for a classic fougere scent, this is it. It is labeled a cologne but it is light and can be splashed on like an aftershave without it being overpowering. It really goes well with the Valobra soap.

Even better, it comes in a huge bottle for a very reasonable price.

You can order it from Shoebox Shave Shop. (shoeboxshaveshop.com)

Very interesting indeed.....Dreamsville....

 

Very cool pic, Cap.

 

Well, I guess no one can call you Schick-less.

 

Hello TSD. Dusted off my Bullet Tip today:



- Mixed soap leftovers
- Semogue OC badger
- GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip
- GEM Stainless blade
- Homemade Bay Rum AS

Nice shave, though I have been a little overconfident with the GEM. The Bullet Tip is pretty mild, but it CAN bite if you don't pay attention. I didn't - and paid for that with a few tiny blood spots. Nothing serious though - two passes left my face 50% BBS, the rest is DF, I'd say. And I like my homebrewn AS - though I probably won't use it in the summer months. Smells too much like christmas

Have a great day

 

Thank you Herm.
