LOVE that brush handle from yesterday's shave! Reading all these great posts makes me want to get out my G1!
The Coated blades don't rust....and the carbons will last for like 3 shaves if you....Rinse, Dry, dip in alcohol and put a drop of baby oil on each side of the edge...then store in a dry place.....sounds like alot of maintenance but it's still a whole lot less than a str8 for a similar quality shave....But the stainless'es are maintenance free....
In the last couple of days the mailman has brought me several wedge blade SE's, so today was my first shave with this one. Henkels Twinworks Rapide Henkels wedge blade, freshly honed & stropped Muhle HJM synthetic black fiber brush Haslinger Schafmilch soap 4711 aftershave & cologne The Henkels Rapide is perhaps the best known of the Rapides, being introduced around 1911 when the original 1891 Ernst Scharff patent expired. I decided to use all German products with it this morning. The blade that came with the razor showed very little signs of use, and I had honed it last night. The Henkels blade is made of excellent steel and it took a fine edge, resulting in an outstanding shave. I've been using a Mongoose off and on over the past few weeks, and I have to say that today's shave was every bit as close as those with the Mongoose, yet smoother. I can get a really close shave with the 'Goose, but I end up with a weeper or two if I let my attention wander the least bit. No weepers today. --Bob
Since I'm doing an injector focus this month, I figured that it would be a good idea to put them all in one place. It's no wonder my wife rolls her eyes when I tell her I need another one
Someday I'll post a picture of the SE razors. The Gems, Valets and Ever-Readys are multiplying as well
I have lots to inventory Miscellaneous stuff The unboxed DE razors. All of the boxed sets and real treasures are hidden in these boxes. I have some work to do.
3/05/16 - 1914 Ever Ready and WSP No shim today. Less aggressive, but not a lot. Great BBS shave. This is fast becoming my favorite SE. A beauty!!
Cool. I ordered some coated blades from Bullgoose today... And I won this on eBay for $10. I really just wanted a case for my OCMM, but I'll clean up this razor and see what I've got.
Very nice injector collection. I noticed you do not have a PAL Injectomatic. Have you ever tried one? That is one of my favorite injectors. Except my bunny. Tom
