Injector & SE Party !!!

I’ll have to remember not to use that one!

 

Don't feel bad I messed up my first blade too, and mine was a Personna 74. After that first one I had no problems with the rest of the blades. Cool thing is you can load more blades than what the dispenser say's it will take. You will get better at loading the dispensers the more you do it. I still load mine when they are empty and I don't mess up the first blade anymore.

Just as I went with all of my oldest equipment for the shave on the last day of 2017. I went with all of my newest equipment for the first shave of 2018. Was left with another BBS shave from The General.

 

Terrific setup. Love that brush handle! And of course you can never go wrong with The Fat.

 

First shave of the year is a signature shave. It was awesome!

Perry - i can send u the link for Rakuten (sp?) to order some more - the website is confusing and Japanese - key thing is to NOT select the default shipping - you want the other shipping - than they send u a invoice a few days later- its not too bad a price for 20 blades (i forget the price).... if you like them - its worth the effor

 

1/1/2018 - 1st shave of the year.
I got 2 packs of the Schick Proline B20's from Japan a month ago, and so far I have used them in 3 injectors. Type G8 - PAL Injecto-matic and the modern SUpply 2.0 razor. So far the razor has really impressed me, I get the same feeling as I do from a Schick Plus Platinum for the Mid 70's - so for me VERY SHARP.

I plan on loading Proline blades on my vast injector collection, last night my LADY EVERSHARP Type K2 with the Hydro-magic lever (fyi - i cant stand hydromagic levers as they seem to break ez, So if u get a razor that has a good lever i NEVER open it - hot water cleans it fine) .... I love these lady eversharp's but with the PROLINE the shave was MIND blowing - i cant get any closer bbs than i did last night - 9 hours later - still bbs on most of my face..

Razor: Schick G4 '66' injector
Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
Lather: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep

WTG, touch up

Proline blades - WOW! Full disclosure that the first blade I inserted in the Schick 66 was terribly rough. I must have really buggered the edge of that one putting it in the key. So I chucked it after three or four strokes for another Proline. Holy smokes what a difference. Smooth, efficient, and sharp! Really enjoyable experience with this new blade. It feels more rigid than a Chick blade to me. In the end a terrific shave was had and I have no complaints.

Looking forward to trying this blade some more. Have a great day!

 

Are you referring to Proline blades? If so I have some on order from @Linuxguile and his Andrew's Shave Shop. I really enjoyed the shave with them this morning.

 

Terrific photo and setup. Never seen that scent from PAA but that's not surprising as they seem to have every concoction of scent known to man! Terrific razor as well!

 

Happy New Year

I may have compared the finish I have got with an E2 loaded with an AC blade, with one from a modern AC/SE
such as the ATT. The quality of finish may be similar but the Shave experience is not at all alike. With the Hefty ATT it feels more like a Barbershop Experience, and I really enjoyed getting the Razor to produce a super close
all round Shave.

 

First Shave 2018

Fist shave of the year. So I opted for all of my newest tools.
Razor: Black Hawk newly acquired today from @Herm2502
Blade:Feather Pro
Brush: @GarnerPW
Soap: Jeeves gift from @Drygulch
AS: Tabac Lotion. From Wife

I had a wonderful shave today. I normally shave later in the day. When my wife texted me that I received my razor, game on.

I was doing a bit of reading on the Black Hawk. People were saying it is a mild razor. So I decided to forgo the Feather Guard and go straight to the Pro. Great decision.

As this is the first New razor that I have that takes these blades. I was a bit concerned about the added width of the razor. This is a light razor. So I found that the long handle came in nicely. Using no pressure I found the angle right away. Proceeding to do my standard 3 pass shave. I found that it feels like a mild razor. But by no means in my opinion is it. I find later Schick to be mild. I would compare this to a Schick G for Blade feel. But the efficiency is better than that.

I think that a few more shaves on the Blade and this will be a sweet shaving razor. It is perfect for a 1 or 2 day beard.

If somebody is thinking about getting one. It is worth a punt, especially for the price.

Happy New Year All.

I got this Schick H for Hussy razor in the mail today from @wchnu to try out. I already have this week planned out, so I am planning on bringing out the Hussy Monday for next week's shaves.

Do you happen to have any Twin Blades for her? If not, let me know. I will will send you some. That razor really shines with twins.

Thanks, Tom. I just checked. I have an empty Twin injector. So, I would appreciate that. BTW, what do you call the empty blade container? Is it a cassette, holder, container, ... ?
