With all you guys chatting there was only two injector posts on page 1000. Keep it up it will increase my odds at Andrews prototype injector.
13 February Evening Shave Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: Brush XIV, 25mm Synthetic Fan Type Soap: Williams w/ blinded EO Razor: Schick Type H1 (Hussy) Blade: Ted Pella SS Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and OSMA Alum block Photo: First outing with the Hussy. It left a lot to be desired. With all the favorable talk around here about this razor it has to be my angle that was wrong. That okay though I will try it again in the future, but right now I have other injectors I have to use. I did three passes trying to find the proper angle. After the third pass I was still left with whiskers. I picked up my sons E2 to do a quick forth pass just to knock the whiskers down. That left me with a good enough shave. Tonight I have the PAL De-Luxe on deck that I got from Fuzzy.
Like a Bunny or Igor: Ride the little hump... Gives me perfect angle every time. If you really don't get along with it..... I could do with a spare
Williams Wednesday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Williams JR#259 Synthetic Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Personna CS CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Aqua Velva Musk A change up in the lineup today. I got a 3-D printed shim from Fuzzy today (@wchnu), and I want to give it a go for Williams Wednesday. The idea is to change the angle of a modern SE blade to replicate the angle of the original wedge blades. I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the JR #259 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Razor using a Personna CS blade with a 3-D printed shim and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... The shim did an outstanding job with my razor. I almost could not feel the blade. I would say that it did what it was designed to do. Thanks @wchnu and riverrun for the shim.

I've got a Schick with the same textured top, but a different color handle. My thoughts are it's a G-1 but I don't know how I came up with the number. Vanna, can I buy a clue?
Today's shave. Another injector I'm just not quite sure about. E-3 I think. It has tabs, the spring locks on a little nub, one patent number - #1806087, & parallel grooves going long ways on the guard bar.
Sounds like my chosen razor today too, Rick. I’m pretty confident it’s an E-3. The case it came with is identical to the one you have .
I just reread my post... I mean I believe your Schick is an E-3 because your description of the razor is the same as mine... not merely because of that case. Wasn’t sure if that came across previously.
Thur 15th Feb RazoRock Syn. 22mm P & B Spitfire ER 1912 with Alu. Variant Handle Gem S/S [ 3 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion A good 1912 Shave with a great finish, though I am more inclined to use of a 1924/ Streamline. For a period ER UK produced sets with Aluminium Handles, these were the Peerless [hexagonal] and The Bathroom set. The 1912 I used today has a variant round handle, with one from a Bathroom set being shown left of picture.
