Ah, fair point my Northern friend. I stand corrected. (Actually I'm sitting.) At this late hour on the Left Coast of the North American continent I probably couldn't discern a D from an F, nor a single from a Twin, so I trust your recollection and and bow to your learned experience. (internal dialogue - crazy Canucklehead loading a Twin in a D! and in an F?!!!...)
Whoever got those E2's needs to join up and come to the Party bearing photos.....Can't get too many E2 photos....
That may be, Hodge......but once someone becomes as famous as you have around here.....you have no more private life.....Maybe you didn't tell anyone around here....But any of us could have read it in the Shaving Section of any of the Scandal Sheets while waiting in line at the grocery store.....Seems like I did read something about some cat jacking an F type with a twin blade, but lucky for some unnamed person, there were no names or pictures.... So this is advice to all you Super Denizens out there.....as you drive the prices up on these Schicks, the press realizes that the public wants stories about injectors and their users....So be cool...shave careful...and keep those shades drawn..... Back to your normally scheduled shaving......

ICED WATER SHAVE SOTD Sat. 4/9/16 Pre Shave Cleanser: Noxzema Classic Pre Shave Oil: DG Vitamin E Oil Shave Soap: Arko Shave Stick (Not Pictured) Shave Brush: Semogue 620 Boar Razor: Schick N1 Blade: Schick Twin (1) After Shave Balm: Stirling Mita Soap: Grandpa's Sandalwood & Shea Soap Cologne: Bogart by Jacques Bogart Good morning friends. After reading a post by @Joef yesterday i was inspired and this morning i grabbed a perfectly sized container i have and dumped my refrigerator ice bucket into it, filled it with water and got to work. It was fantastic, a revelation almost! I used this ice water for prep, between passes, for wetting my brush, i even dunked my Arko stick in it! Beautiful dolphin smooth shave without even a hint of irritation. My whiskers literally disappeared. I would like to thank @Bama Samurai for his generosity, the Arko stick lathered like a dream and i like the scent, to me it's reminiscent of bar soap. The N1 is a marvelous shave creation. Have a wonderful shave and a wonderful day guys.
I have a few times recently. Here you go once more. The Ivory handle on left is not as smooth as the other two.
Wow! I just had a super smooth and super close, most enjoyable, shave with my Venerable H. She was needing a little love as she had been ignored a little lately and she returned the favor with one of my best shaves ever. You really have to have an H to appreciate how easy, quick, smooth, and super efficient it is. @Bird Lives has it right when he says Schick should have marketed this as a men's travel razor. All I can say is the H holds it's own with my Mighty PAL Injecto Matic and the Inestimable Bunny.

Saturday, April 9, 2016 Ernst Scharff Rapide razor Rapide wedge blade The Grooming Co. synthetic brush Stirling Electric Sheep soap Pinaud Lilac Vegetal aftershave Kind of funny - One of the reasons I used to look forward to weekends was because I could skip shaving for a couple of days. Now I look forward to weekends because I can take extra time shaving. This Rapide does require a bit of extra time, as the blade must be stropped before use, and cleaned and stropped afterwards. It is certainly worth the effort. This was about my 5th shave since honing this blade, and it has really settled in nicely. The first few shaves were a little harsh (probably the result of finishing the honing on .3 micron lapping film). The blade is still crazy wicked sharp, but now smooth as can be, resulting in a mostly BBS shave that was weeper and irritation free. --Bob
I may have attempted to run twin blades through a Schick A repeater or was it a C.......I'm surely not admitting it on this site though.
He said he wasn't admitting it.... You're gonna have to pick up the lastest Shaving Star Gazette at your local grocers to read this tidbit of gossip....
ICED WATER SHAVE SOTD Sun. 4/10/16 Pre Shave Cleanser: Noxzema Classic Pre Shave Oil: DG Vitamin E Oil Shave Soap: Arko Shave Stick Shave Brush: Semogue 620 Boar Razor: Schick N1 Blade: Schick Twin (2) After Shave Balm: Stirling Mita Soap: Grandpa's Sandalwood & Shea Soap Cologne: Thallium by Yves De Sistelle Good morning friends. Today's iced water shave is the best shave i've ever had in my life! The Schick Twin blade feels better to me on the second day, i didn't even feel the blade on my face. Skin feel is beautiful throughout the shave and post shave it's soft and moisturized. I feel confident saying that after two days of the ice experiment, this is the way i want to shave from now on. The whiskers come off easy and these two shaves have been dolphin smooth with little effort. Did i say i love the N1? I also absolutely love this Arko stick! Perfect lather, and i don't find it drying like so many. Have a great shave and a great day folks.
