A month with my Schick Type F
My year-long goal is to get through all my injectors beginning with a march through the Schick alphabet. I’ve done the Schick C, D, Es, and F. I still have G through N to go! My three weeks with the F were very successful so I’m using this last week to assess the Type G.
Hot Shower
Razor:1946-55 NOS G4 Schick 66 Navy (Shave 2)
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum (1)
Soap: Route 66 - Sweeney Todd
Brush: Stirling Kong
TSD Witch Hazel

Two-pass shave - XTG, ATG
First shave with a ‘Chick’ blade in the Schick ’66’ G4 yesterday was so good that I was tempted to do a single pass today. But trying out a new blade today I chose to do two passes.
Some times when I use this blade right after a Chick I can feel a noticeable upgrade in smoothness. Today there wasn’t that that much of a difference in smoothness nor in the quality of the shave. Great shave that will probably leave me tomorrow wondering two passes or one!
Perhaps I’ll change it up again tomorrow and use the Mod FergieFeather?!
Cheers!

btw - if you haven’t noticed I’m running through a few different Route 66 soaps this week. I may provide a brief review come the end of the week.
(Spoiler alert: I’m enjoying them!)
