    Congratulations on finishing your soap, hopefully so day I can finish a soap. I hit the Cella harder any other soap I own, so perhaps that on will be first, I also really love the West of Olympia, which is only a 4 ounce tub, so perhaps it will be first.

    Razor: Schick B1 Repeating Razor
    Blade: Personna
    Brush: Semogue 620
    Soap: Der Vergulde Hand
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    Finally! My first shave with the B1 Repeater. For those of you following along at home, I was able to score a great BIN on eBay for a B1 Repeater. The joy was dampened slightly last Friday when I received the wrong razor (a Durham Duplex). The seller made good, though, and I received the B1 on Wednesday and, after cleaning and a bit of polishing, today was its trial run.

    According to the normal sources, the B series was made from 1927-1932 and it is a testament to its quality that it continued to be made after the crash and subsequent depression. It's an ingenious device as I realized during cleaning. Mine did not come with any vintage blades, but did come with an empty blade holder. Throwing conventional wisdom to the wind, I loaded some sacrificial blades into the carrier and was able to cycle them through the mechanism two or three times with no issues. (This was the main reason I chose a Personna blade for today's shave.)

    Shaving with a Repeater is definitely an experience. It's a solid piece of engineering with the heft of something like a mini-Maglite as opposed to a later Injector. I had no issues with finding the right angle, except for part of my ATG pass which requires holding the razor upside down. Parts of the shave are not as close as I might like, but it's still a DFS with no issues or irritation. I can see why some of you like these so much.
