Ever since you posted that razor in another thread, I’ve had that song from “Beauty And The Beast “ stuck in my head.

SOTD MAYhem 16th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Schick Injector H1 "The Hussy"
Personna blade
Doug Korn Stubby (35mm, Carrier Class)
Italian Barber Amici
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill PSB

First shave with The Hussy. The head design and feel reminds be a lot of The Bunny, or The Bunny reminds me a lot of The Hussy. The rectangular handle was a little awkward on the XTG pass but otherwise felt great. Three passes left me just short of BBS. I finished off with some Stirling Glacial lemon Chill PSB for my daily face freeze. I will have to scrape the remaining Amici from the sides of the tin and redeposit them in the middle for its last shave. Have a great day my friends!

Who is the Beast ?
The razor, or me ?

My youngest (18) had his first vintage wet shave today. I went easy on him and lent him an I1 with a NOS twin blade. “These really do shave closer, don’t they?” was the verdict.

Happy shaving - Karl

Beautiful razors!!!

There is a good reason the bunny feels similar to the Hussy. Beautiful razor!

Your just an awesome Dad!!!

My Williams Wednesday shave. Vintage soap with a horse brush. Used my favorite 1912 with The Veg. Ahhhhhhh.

Thur 17th May
RazoRock Syn. 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Supply V2- No3 Plate.
Schick Proline [ 5 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

I get decent Shaves from the Supply but feel that I have to work quite hard to get there, in comparison to my larger AC/SE. It does shave very smoothly and I imagine it would suit those wishing to go SE for the first time.

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Boots Travel BB
Soap: LaToja Stick
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Kai Pink
Post: Cold water rinse, LaToja Balsamo

Even if I say so myself, this was a great choice of travel set.
Happy Shaving one and all.

G5 injector today. Smooth shave. Nimble and easy to use like the other G razors. No complaints. Have a great day!

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Soap Commander Renewal
Jayaruh #287
Pal Injecto-Matic
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Thayers Lemon WH
Barbasol

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #287 brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you Fuzzy!

The LaToja Stick would make a good everyday soap imo, four days of use and my skin is doing grand.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Though I am not a great fan of the lighter AC/SE the satisfaction of getting a good Shave with them is quite rewarding. A no rush approach is best and I use very short strokes to do initial clearance. I find that the heavy vary-grip handle allows me to use the extra weight to use the very light / no pressure strokes essential to getting a good close all round finish. Pleased to say that today the Shave was not only trouble free but the finish was pretty top notch too.

Yesterday :



Preparing blade for a more comfortable and efficient shaving.
50 crossings on linen canvas side.
200 crossing son leather side.

Today :



I hope blade will be more comfortable and efficient.
I just now will test it with another french razor.

One hour later:

Shaved and DFS in 3 steps !

The blade was not very confortable and efficient on the first step.
But it was better after.
And I was able to go up ATG.
Not confortable on shaving, but not burning after.
No blood, no irritations.
I think it could be better with more crossings on paddle.
Before next shaving: 100 crossings on linen canvas side - 400 crossings on leather side.

Good morning friends. Wonderful three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. I can't believe i haven't used my Speick shave cream for this long. It's fantastic! I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

I1 injector today as I follow through my collection. Tomorrow I will begin a period of time with the Supply injector that is on loan to me. I'll send it back but have an extended period of time to give it a trial. Looking forward to that.

Have a great day!

Excellent shot of the N1, Rob!
