    Smells like the Drug Store SEptember!!!! (Stirling Booster)

    September 8

    Razor - Schick Injector M2
    Blade - [​IMG] (3)
    Soap - Stirling Sandalwood
    Brush - 30DC LE
    ASOD - Stetson

    Time for a change from the Gem as it gave me three great shaves. On to my Schick Injector. It's a Type M2 and the model I first started shaving with. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, that was my first razor I ever purchased and my Dad thought I had lost my mind. Definitely a dedicated Gillette man. Blade is a Chinese Schick and I stayed with the Stirling boost with the LE brush.

    The dial on this razor is missing its label, but I have it marked to tell how to adjust it. I opened it up halfway and went to work after producing another fantastic lather, Sandalwood this time. Smooth as ever on two passes with touch up and the baby is in the house. One of the best shaves I've pulled off with this razor. Again, I don't give the SE's too much love so I'm happy to have such a great shave.

    Tomorrow I'll splash the Stetson on again and head into what hopefully will be a decent day of sales. See if it will produce the same kind of results the Veg is known for around here.

    It's been fun following the raffle drawings today, even if my name is still untouched. I had my eye on a couple of things that have already left the building. Maybe with the great shaves I've been getting I don't need to be any luckier. Have a great Saturday!!

    The Bunny V3.1 & Chick blade
    Proraso Blue after shave balm

    This non-alcoholic balm reminds me of the scent/flavor of muscadine grapes. Anyone else getting that impression?

    SOTN: Evening shave—just because...custom 6/8" French-point from Brian Brown, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Omega #627 silvertip and Fine 'Snake Bite.' Three easy passes with typically-slick MWF lather and the 'burn & quench' of the Fine to seal the deal. Top-tier shave. Have a blessed Saturday, gents!

    The MITA soap (regular version) was a perfect choice for this morning's shave because of its good middle-of-the-road menthol sensation. Lots of nice lather, the Super Speed/Astra combination gave me that great BBS result in three passes, and the Lucky Tiger balm did its part. Do I ever love the Fougere Santal aftershave splash's scent and it's also good and cooling!

    Have a great weekend!

    Normal Shaving? Is that a thing?

    My DW and DD would probably tell me that "normal" shaving means to stop crappy old razors and get a Mach 3 or Fusion. :)

    Marvelous shave with the Gillette Sensor 5 this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

    Then, in my opinion. your whatever is full of it. Emergencies call for extra measures. I have NOT enjoyed a " Normal" shave, which calls for somewhat quality ingredients.

    Two great shaves this morning. Armed with a new heavy duty punch that makes modifying the Gibbs blades a breeze, I went with the No. 15 on 4 for the head shave. It was a beautiful two pass + BBS.

    For the beard I used a V3A top cap to 2011-ize my 2013 R41. The V3A may be even a touch narrower than the 18.8mm 2011 and it does what it is supposed to do. One close shave without incident.

    Tian Li and Coates Tea for both.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Same as yesterday:

    Personna Flex Head
    Blade: Gillette Twinjector
    Gillette Foamy Lather
    AS: Brut Splash ON

    What can you say when using emergency tools? Got a pretty good shave though. Wishing the best for all, God Bless.

    P.S. Didn`t think a photo was necessary.
