Tue 24th July Vulfix 404 Vitos Super Red Mongoose B3 Feather Pro [ 2 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Still using AC/SE but using a not so familiar blade. Today the Razor was loaded with a Feather Pro which I think maybe sharper and less forgiving than the Proline which has become a favourite of mine. I have quite a strong beard so to get a close shave I have to work the Razor quite hard and the Proline seems suited to this style.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave Keep It Simple Shave Week Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #302 Pal Injecto-Matic Vintage PAL CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #302 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Vintage PAL injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
No Monday shave so I put a little menthol into Early Tuesday shave. 1912 Gem Jr. PAL Super Top Ten Shave Cream ER 200/TGN silvertip WH Daylogic Brisk Veddy nice shave to start a day shift.
Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: TSR 2015 Shavemac 24mm ST Soap: WK Man from Mayfair Razor: E-R 1914 Blade: Gem Stainless PTFE Post: Cold water rinse, WK Man from Mayfair Toner Great soap, great little razor, a Gem Stainless with a couple of shaves under its belt, shaving doesn't get much better than this. Happy Shaving one and all.
July 23, 2018 - SOTN Schick 66- got this new with dummy blade, only a dozen or so shaves on it..... perfection....
"New Improved Schick Injector" (aka "Type F"). The first of two. About 20 minutes of one-handed polishing, and here's what you get. I didn't bring the aluminum alloy handle to mirror finish, because I doubt it was that way in 1940. Do any of you know if this is the correct shipper? (last couple pics). I look forward to using this.
Wed 25th July Omega 11126 P & B Spitfire Mongoose B3 Schick Proline [ 9 ] Tuff Red A/S lotion Today proved to me that possibly the best AC blade for me is the Schick Proline. I had a really smooth comfortable Shave with an aging blade, and the finish was ultra close. Yesterday I shaved with a newish Feather blade also in a Mongoose, and ended up with an OK shave, I reckon that because of its apparent sharpness I was wary of doing the final polishing up strokes needed to get that close finish.
Williams Wednesday's Shave Keep It Simple Shave Week Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #302 Alumigoose Feather SS SE CWR Family Dollar Spice AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #302 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Alumigoose Razor on loan from @Redfisher with a Feather SS Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Family Dollar Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... Mike told me that you almost do not need a second pass with this razor. He was right. I was tempted to not do the second pass, but hey, I like shaving now, so I have an effortless BBS.
Beautiful job! Want to do mine next? Can't comment on the shipper as I've never seen one. My Opinion of the Type F is the exact opposite, To me it is one of the more aggressive injectors.
