Injector & SE Party !!!

+ 1 on that, a real fount of knowledge.

 

Fri 29th June

Omega 11137
Lea Classic Soap
Mongoose B3
Schick Proline [ 12 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

I was not quite sure how things would be today due to the blade usage. I carefully chose a reliable soap, and proceeded with a no rush approach.Though I shall now change the blade, I am quite astounded at not just the
ease of Shave but quality of finish too. In other Razors I have been pleased to get 9 outings with a Proline, and they are really an economical proposition as well as being a great blade [ for me anyway ].

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the PAL Injecto-Matic. Excellent lather from the Arko shave stick. I finished with Old Spice. I am smooth and refreshed, enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Great picture, Roby!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy

I was reading the thread across the street about the Peerless and Bathroom sets, so I broke mine out with a fresh blade and a 1/2 spine shim. Nice 2 pass DFS, have a good weekend!

Sat 30th June

RazoRock Syn. 24mm
L`Occitane Cade Soap
Alu. Hawk/Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

I definitely prefer my heavier AC/SEs to the Hawk, which seems quite harsh in comparison. I noticed today that the Razor with a blade on its 8th use seemed to pull, whereas the Mongoose was as smooth as silk with a blade on its 12th outing. Despite working quite hard the overall standard of finish was not that good, compared with Shaves I have had recently.

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: SOC Boar
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood
Razor: Blackland Sabre L1
Blade: Gem Blue Star CS
Post: Cold water rinse, TOBS Sandalwood

A wonderful start to the weekend and to hell with the warm sunny weather, I needed a sandalwood fix and TOBS is probably my favourite.
Talking of favourites, I may have just found a boar brush I like as much as the Omega 11137, although the SOC is a lather hog at the moment.
Have a great weekend everyone.

 

June 30, 2018
Rocnel SE-G
Gem PTFE
Thäter 4125/3
C&E West Indian Lime Shaving Cream
Myrsol Agua de Limón

​

 

I am getting to be a fan of Semogue myself. My 1305 has a similar shaped handle. Just a all around great brush.

How do you rate that new fangled SE?

 

Another mighty fine shave today with a Gem Junior from a G3. Smooth as could be with treet blade and Boots.




And a video of this beautiful razor in action if anyone cares to watch!!

 

I like the Rocnel SE and find it to be a very good shaver. The biggest issue is the way the blade loads and the lack of blade stops on the corners. It is my most aggressive razor by a wide margin. I think the Blackland Sabre is better designed and more successful in the market.

 

Thank you Clint!

 

June 30 SOTD:

Razor: Ever-Ready 1914
Blade: Gem Stainless
Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Lather: AOS Tallow
Aftershave: TOBS Sandalwood

My favourite Boars until now have both been Omega but this is running the 11137 close and has leap frogged the 20102.

 

I haven't seen many nickel-plated E or G types, so I had to get this one (Eversharp-Schick on rivet)...
