1924 Shovelhead/Gem PTFE. AOS Sandalwood. Handle on loan from @twhite is a WCS model. Smooth as silk.
Another great shave with the GEM Zinn on loan from @Joewa . I used a GEM Wedge blade today. The shave was just out of this world. I could fall in love with this razor. The big ole boar was great as usual with the modern Williams shave stick.
During a nice little PM with @Bird Lives I was reminded of a black handled early E2 that I haven’t shaved with in a long time. Soooo, here it is. From the first stroke it was smooth as a feather. Fantastic shave.

The only E2 I've ever used is a black handled one and I've caught myself twice, same place. User error, and it's definitely become my favourite injector, which has upset my injecto-matic.
Mon 17th Dec. RazoRock Syn. 24mm Speick Active Supply SE-V1 / V2 No3 plate Personna S/S [ 6 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion I never thought at the beginning of last week that I would still be using the Supply SE and consistently getting great Shaves. It has taken me a long time to get it right with this Razor, maybe hand loading it was a mistake [ using Prolines] but since Injecting a Personna into it all has gone well. Will conclude this run on Tuesday as I am in need of a change of Razor, but I am sure that I will reach for this Razor more often now.
Pre: Warm water splash Brush: Simpson Duke 3 BB Soap: OSP Bay Rum Razor: E-R 1912 USA Blade: Gem PTFE Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Razorock Black Bay ASL If anyone is looking for an introduction into the world of SEs they need look no further than any 1912 imo. Happy Shaving one and all.

Menthol Monday's Shave Cold Water Wash Ingram Jayaruh #2 RazoRock Black Hawk Feather Professional CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shaving Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Went with an injectomatic today. It seems to never fail me when I need it most! Great shave and awesome fragrance as well.
Brush: Ever-Ready #750 (This was my first and only brush. Given to me 55 years ago on my 15th birthday). Now has a Golden Nib Premium Badger knot. Razor: The really great Paradigm Titanium SE with Proline blade. Soap: Stirling Bakerstreet Aftershave: Proraso Green
Cold Water Shave Omega Boar Arko Schick E-Series Injector Personna Blade First time shaving with an Injector. Different feel for sure but an easy comfortable shave! Hello to another can of worms...
Excellent! I tried an injector and never looked back. Haven't shaved with a DE in over two years. Welcome to the party!

Tue 18th Dec- Tabac Tuesday Simpsons Chubby No1 / Maggards 2 Band. Tabac Soap Supply SE -V1 / V2 No3 plate Personna S/S [ 7 ] Tabac A/S Lotion Now on my 7th outing with this Razor/ Blade combo , 6 of which have been consecutive. Since changing to use of the Personna Blade the Shaves have not only been smooth and comfortable , but the quality of overall finish has been superb. I doubt that I could have such a good run of Shaves from my Vintage E2 or PAL Injecto Matic. Rather than hand loading blades into the Supply as I have been doing , I shall try Injecting them as I did with the Personna to see if it makes a difference.
