Farewell shave with the G2. My entire G type collection - plus a rarely seen butterscotch G1 - is now on it's way to @GarnerPW. The G2 was the very first Schick I ever owned. @Billyfergie posted a SOTD pic of one one day and I was smitten and I had to have one. One thing led to another and we all know where that leads. It's one of the few Schicks that can give the F type a run for it's money in the looks department. Being sentimental and all I used it for today's shave and we had a nice time together. Always good to leave on friendly terms. Included in the package is an 8 pack of NOS Longs Drugs Platinum Chrome blades because, hey, what kind of guy would I be if I didn't try to enable a fellow Denizen whenever possible? Happy shaving - Karl
Why yes. Yes I am. But I had to give up buying any more shaving supplies this year to make the deal at home.
I'm particularly jealous over the variety with the blue/turquoise handle, or the ones with the navy handle. Those are really neat. I have a G1 and a G8 but would love those color handles at some point.
Razor: AlumiGoose V1 w/El Druida handle Blade: Feather (7) Brush: TSD 30 Day Crew MS 2 Band Soap: Captain's Choice Sandalwood A/S: Captain's Choice Sandalwood Bowl: Pottersong KO Shave Bowl Very nice close comfortable 3 pass shave tonight.
I agree about the blue/turquoise handle, they're very nice but a little hard to find in nice condition.
SOTD July 7, 2017 Blade: Chinese Schickoneo Razor: Personna injector Brush: Omega 10049 boar Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave WTG, touch-up Really smooth and comfortable shave with the Personna injector. Surprisingly close after my normal pass and clean-up. Quite enjoyable. Have a nice evening!

+1 on letting the winner choose. Very COOL of you Fuzzy. Well done. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
I have to confess that the G1 is not my favorite Injector. So I have to admit to a curiosity at wanting to try a Gx (where x>1) if only to see if there is a difference.
I have several in the bakelite box..with blade banks That will be the play then. Winner gets to choose. As I was reminded a few nights ago they all have the same head. Individual razors can feel different tbough. I have a G8 that shaves very much like a E2. Others find them super mild.
Sat 8th July Ever Ready Streamline & GemS/S [ 1 ] Find it hard to believe there is a better Shaver than this, but you need to use a feather light touch.I was lucky and really learnt to Shave with a Streamline.
Speaking of lather catchers, instead of using 1912-14 ER for my ER lather catcher can I split the difference and call it a 1913???
