Which Shavette did you use Today?

Magic is like that too.

 

Awesome. If I didn't enjoy SE and Injectors so much I could be a nothing but open blade shaver.

 

Had I started on SE at the beginning, I'd probably do them more. But, count me as a fan. Schick G normally in effect as primary safety option. I'm just hooked in the shavette experience right now!

 

I understand that!! You would love this late model E2 I picked up local the other day!

 

Looked sweet, I saw!

 

Have fun in Macau!

 

Veddy nice tune!!

 

Plan for 28 Feb

No name shavette ,wood handle.3 use good sense blades IIRC.
Dove shave cream
no-name boar brush hot soaked in a brass bowl
2 passes w/a touch up
cool water rinse
Lustray Blue Spice a/s

The Dove face+body cream does not seem to be a good match w/a shavette.Not enough glide.IMO
The Lustray Blue Spice is an a/s that does not get much recognition.It starts out as a light spice like a half strength Lucky Tiger Aspen and morphs in a baby powder scent with a hint of spice.Inoffensive and rather good.

 

I had a Marvy's brush once.It shed more than a yellow lab with the mange.After a while the entire center of the brush fell out ,about the diameter of a pencil.It got s-canned.The soap I recall was not very good.

 

Feather SS loaded with Schick Proline blade
Becker scuttle
silvertip 24 mm knot housed in Italian black walnut turned handle
CRSW Glide lather
Razorock alum
Dickinson witch hazel
Pinaud clubman

 

So far this one is not a shedder at all. We will see how it gets along.

I'll spent the month of March working on taming the CJB razor. My first use today went well.... I nearly finished an extraordinary face shave without drawing any blood. But I ended with a nick on my neck which took a couple of applications of the styptic pencil before the bleeding stopped.
