Tue 27th Feb Omega 11137 boar L`Occitane Cade cream Mongoose B3 Kai Captain Mild Pink [ 8 ] Puig Quorum A/S Lotion Sometimes choices work to your advantage, today this was true as I chose to use a Cream rather than a soap. I am not a big fan of the Kai blade, but today the Razor/Blade worked really well with the lather from the cream and I had a really pleasant Shave. Though the finish was not as close as with other blades it was more than acceptable, and as a bonus my skin felt refreshed from use of the cream.

Today, 106 years ago, August William Scheuber was granted ⤷the patent for what we now call the "1912". Happy patent day, everyone!
Enders Speed, Schick Super Stainless Injector, My Father's Face #3. Excellent mild shave . I love the design of the Enders. This hack uses an Enders blade with the edge trimmed off as a shim to help secure the injector blade. Since there are no blade stops you have to eyeball exposure in setting the Injector blade in place. Not hard. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
The prize arrived in the mail yesterday. This is a very cool looking piece of hardware. I have no idea how to work it yet, but I'll figure it out. This is, after all, the first Schick Injector Repeating Razor I've ever examined in person. Thanks Andrew @Linuxguile for your generous contest!
Outstanding shave today. The 1913ish ER was on its game with the PAL blade. First use of Sterling Ozark Mountain. I LIKEY. Finished up with Pinaud Citrus Musk. Just a wonderful two pass and witch hazel touch up shave.

It is a lovely Razor to hold and Shave with.

28 February in honor of August William Scheuber Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: Brush XIV, 25mm Synthetic Fan Type Soap: The Lounge, Stirling Soap Co. Razor: GEM 1912 Damaskeene Blade: PAL (?) w/ ER Stropping Machine and Amish made strop Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse, OSMA Alum block and English Leather AS Photo: Got busy last night and did not have time to shave. So I did my 1912 shave this morning. I had a PAL blade that I had used while the bathroom was being remodeled. It had ran it's course and was ready to be disposed of but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I figured I could strop the snot out of it and maybe get a few more shaves out of it. I stropped it fifty times using the Ever Ready Stropping Machine. It helped very little. I got a decent enough shave but was not smooth at all. I did three passes and braced myself for the coming sting of the alum block. Though to my surprise it didn't really happen. There was some light sting in the normal places but that was about it. The blade will now go into the used blade bank. All in all the shave was a success that left me with a good shave and the knowledge that you can not bring a blade back to life once it has been pronounced "DONE".
