    Dove Men Face Wash
    TABAC Original
    Jayaruh #70 Silvertip
    Gillette Black Beauty
    Personna Super
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Speick After Shave

    The TABAC Original Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #70 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Black Beauty razor with an Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Another great shave this morning. I am coming to realize that Haslinger Schafmilch and MWF are two excellent soaps for SR shaving. I like the ease of lathering and the cushion. Scent is kind of nice as well. Again, I am trying to focus on keeping a wetter lather...and re-lathering before I shave different sections of my face.

    Pre: Proraso green preshave cream
    Razor: Dovo 6/8
    Brush: Parker Badger
    Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
    Post: Witch Hazel / Proraso green ASB

    Once again Rod's Glacial Lemon Chill shaving soap treated me with love and lots of freeze - the lather was rich and thick enough for two guys to shave, I enjoyed the tangy lemony scent and the menthol wallop was POTENT. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream soothed my skin while adding some more iciness and the Lemon Chill witch hazel made the end of this great shave a frozen delight. I'm really enjoying my Parker R22 a lot! :happy088: :happy088:

    Brush: Semogue 1520 boar
    Lather: La Toja
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Nice shave this morning with the G1. I had been using an L-type and the Bunny razor for the past couple of weeks so it was nice to get back to my favorite little razor.

    La Toja was fantastic - nice scent, easy lather, rich, protective, and enjoyable. It's quickly growing on my list of favorite soaps.

    I hope you all have a great day!

    July 12, 2016 (Birthday Shave)

    Razor: Schick G1
    Blade: Chick (1)
    Brush: VdH boar
    Soap: Cella

    A week or so ago, I managed to snag a great deal on a Schick G1 from eBay and it arrived yesterday, just in time for my birthday. This is only my second Injector razor with my other being a J1.

    Initial thoughts- Boy, is this thing tiny. I think I must have a broken sense of scale because I look at all these pictures of razors and they seem like Thor's hammer until I hold one in person. The G1 is definitely smaller than the J1 if only because of the latter's long handle. This turns out to be a good thing for me, though, as I tend to hold the J1 too close to the end. Another thing- the G1 definitely seems to be louder than the J1. I assume that this is something in the design of the two heads.

    I was a little worried about aggressiveness, but that seems to have been unnecessary. I did have a lapse somewhere, though, and ended up with one small weeper which closed with a cold water splash.

    All in all, a very nice DFS and a great start to the day. I definitely need to spend more time with this razor, though, and probably try a few different soaps with it.

    One quick question which I also asked over on another thread- Most of the G1's I've seen have a smooth metal head. Mine has a textured/stippled head. Any significance?
