SOTD June 1, 2016 Prep: Warm shower Blade: Pella injector, Chinese Schick Razor: Schick G1 Injector Brush: Omega 10049 boar Lather: VDH Luxury Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Skin Bracer, Nivea sensitive balm WTG, touch-up Started off with the Pella blade again like yesterday. This wasn't very comfortable. It's definitely sharp but doesn't feel smooth to me whatsoever. It tugged on my neck again pretty badly. So I struggled through the first pass and then injected a new Chick blade into the G1. Went back for touch-ups on the jaw and neck with much better results. The auditory feedback was much closer to a velcro sound and everything felt much smoother. I guess the Pella blades just aren't for me. As always, YMMV. The VDH soap is nearing its end. I think I'll get two or three more shaves out of it. It's been an excellent soap once I figured out the water ratio and began using the big boar brush. I've really enjoyed it. Hope you all have a good day!

June 1,2016 Razor: Unknown 3 pc Blade: Super Max (2) Cream: Cremo Original Brush: VDH Badger Pre Shave Oil: Homemade AS: Gillette Gel/Brut Splash On Bowl: Antique Pick Up (cheap) Newspaper Date: May 6,1945 Easy 2 pass, ATG/WTG. With clean up after each pass, with a small amount of lather last. Everything was nice and smooth resulting in a BBS, if I ever saw one. The 1st time I ever applied an alcohol based product to my face and not burn, amazing to say the least. Happy Camper?...... you bet! Bill

Thanks Bill. The razor is nice to look at, and shaves just like the Merkur 37C that I had a while back.
