    Great shave and thanks for sharing. Love the tidbits of wisdom that you throw out. We need to get you and Fuzzy together for a shave off.

    I'm not sure I'd call them "tidbits of wisdom" , but the kind words are appreciated.
    I'm not sure you would want to see that collaboration with Fuzzy and myself, but it would make for good watching.
    Although, we are trying to get something scheduled for later on in the year.

    Schick C1 open comb
    Schick Proline [ 2 ]
    Lea Classic A/S Lotion

    Encouraged by a top quality Shave with a B1 yesterday, I decided to do a back to back with another Repeater Razor - The C1 open comb. Shaving with Razors like this I keep the ingredients simple, tried and tested soaps with a brush that produces great Lather.

    Being an open comb Razor I was rather cautious, but need not have worried as by taking care and not rushing I had a mishap free Shave. Again the quality of the finished Shave was top notch, my cheeks so smooth they are squeaky clean and the rest is good too. Handled with care these forbears of the Injector Razor can IMHO outperform most of the modern Injectors, I would be pushed to get such a good finish with a Twin Blade.

    @ordinaryshaver has really good technique. No need for a shave off he rocks. He is also a heck of a mod at TOST.

    Thank you for the kind words Fuzzy @wchnu .

    If you enjoy the clog proof, I have a video with that one as well as the MicroMatic open comb as well. Matter of fact doing a series of them across the street.

    Today was the bullet tip! Great all around shave, and of course it had to be Williams!

    World class shave today with the Enders Speed/Proline. Dial-in of exposure is a trial and error affair due to the lack of blade stops but once you get the sweet spot it's superb.

    The length of the Proline is just right, requires no trim, and is perfectly secured with the stock, edge removed Enders blade on top.

    Brush: Lowborn Supply ~ Storm
    Lather: Oleo Soapworks ~ Seibo
    Razor: B2 AutoStrop
    Blade: Modified GEM
    Post: Oleo Soapworks~ Seibo Aftershave and Balm

    Today was the first time shaving with an AutoStrop razor. Thank you @Jayaruh for lending it to me so I could experience it myself. It took me a bit halfway through the shave to find the correct angle, but once I did, the AutoStrop went to work! Overall I really enjoyed using this razor made a century ago.

    RazoRock Syn. 24mm
    EJ Cooling Menthol cream
    Schick N3
    Schick Twin -Japan [ 9 ]
    Alcolado Glacial A/S Splash

    I felt the N3 pulling a bit around the chin so maybe the blade is a bit off, as I normally have the smoothest of Shaves with it. I was using the EJ cream for the first time, it has a very modest menthol kick. My shave experience yesterday with the Schick C1 was much better than that of today , a better finish too.
