I ordered some injector blades and when the box arrived there was a J1 inside also to my surprise. The head was a bit loose and a part of the handle had a melted spot so after some Gorilla glue and a bit of sanding .....it stole the show today. The new divot feels like it belongs there. Thank you again Andrew for your awesome customer service and generousity my friend . I used the stanky ice blue in your honor lol 15282380590985.jpg
    Todays shave was 2 passes of pure bliss. They say the J1 is mild. It may feel mild during the shave ....after the shave you feel the results . Colgate was a gift from Fuzzy .
  4. Great classic shave Patrick.

  5. I knew the man who built a homemade adjustable SE might be able to do something with that J1. Great work Patrick!

    Long day of yard work in a teamwork project with our neighbors. Got a lot done but will need another day to finish it off. Nice shave after it was all over. The Supply shaves are becoming much more automatic. I really like the one-dot sensitive plate. Really smooth and comfortable all around.

    And yes.....still working on the Jeeves Bay Rum. It'll be used up one day.

    Have a good evening!

    Razor: Timeless .95
    Blade: Sharp Star
    Brush: JR 151
    Pre shave: Stirling mentholated
    Soap: B&M Reserve Lavender
    Thayers Lavender
    AS: B&M Reserve Lavender

    Wow! Some excellent shaves and photos today gentlemen!

    Wonderful shave from the Timeless this evening. This is only my tenth shave with it so I'm probably going to spend a lot of time with it this month. So far no regrets on this purchase. Glad I went with the .95.

    First time I've used a Sharp Star blade, paired great with the Timeless. Smooth and sharp.

    I haven't used the Reserves since my March focus, nice and slick! I really like the sweet lavender scent.

    Have a great night guys! [​IMG]
