    That seems to be the conventional wisdom. I'll keep my eye out for some and try again.

    It's a lot of fun trying to shave around yesterday's wound. Not!
    I managed to get through today's shave with only an ear scratch. I'm being stubborn about muting the tip on this razor and may need to rethink it. I did have to relent and use a DE to shave between yesterday's wound and my ear.
    I came to work without a bandage today and have been watching my coworkers try not to react. Its entertaining.

    It just occurred to me that I may have a solution to my spike point scratches. I forgot that I bought this a couple of months ago. Time to get it honed

    Prep: Hot Shower. Noxzema
    Razor: '62 Gillette Slim
    Blade: Personna Lab Blue
    Lather: Route 66-The Black Pearl
    Brush: RazoRock Three Color Plissoft 24mm x 57mm

    Aftershave: Route 66-The Black Pearl. Fine L'Orange Noir
    Great shave. I set the Slim on 6 and went to town, Route 66 TBP is a fabulous soap. This RR bush is dynamite! $12.99 for a quality brush that looks great.
    Look at the bright side..

    So, yesterday was a decent razor and a good blade with a questionable brush and suboptimal soap.

    Tomorrow sounds like the opposite- Great soap and brush, questionable blade and crappy razor. At least it's not the Tiger.

    So I realized I haven’t had time to give the details of my Mayhem plan. I want to try a lot of different razor types, and use all of my soaps this month. Have a few blades I haven’t tried as well. Going to be shaving more than every two days to make that all happen. Lots of posts to catch up on.

    Today was my first ever shave with an injector. Two pass plus touch up yielded and effortless DFS plus. I can see why these razors get so much love. Haven’t used TSD soaps in a while. Great lather and slickness. Still in my top five soap makers.

    Chemistry holds that adding unsaponified fats to soap actually defeats the soap's suds building abilities. Try glycerin.

    It’s Hydro-Magic May!
    I’ll spend the month with my three Schick Eversharp razors that sport the Hydro-Magic shaving/cleansing head - Types I2, J3, K1

    Hot Shower
    Razor: 1962-1968 Type K Lady Eversharp Beauty Razor
    Blade: Schick (China) (1)
    Soap: Route 66 - Sea & Citrus
    Brush: Ever-Ready 1CS Badger
    TSD Witch Hazel
    AS: Myrsol Limon

    One-pass shave - ATG
    Seems as smooth and efficient as the I2 and J3. Longer handle required an adjustment, (must help when I do my legs!) :happy068: :shocked003:
    Same smooth shave as the other H-M razors this week.

    Cheers!

    Makes sense... this is what I was hoping someone was going to say yesterday when I first floated this plan.

    I think that may be an E, but could be a G. A better photo of the blade mount and we'd know for sure.

    Edit: if the lever pivots to open the head for cleaning, it's an E. If not, G.
