That one in the middle in the trio pic...and the last solo pic is a mid-term model E2. I'm a big fan of all the E2s!! They were all great shavers and easy on the eyes. These E2's with the pinned springs are supposed to be less aggressive...I don't know....I still need to be carefull with them...The one I have is Plenty Aggressive....But also veddy smooth at the sametime!!

That one in the middle in the trio pic...and the last solo pic is a mid-term model E2. Those had a pinned spring, but the top of the spring was still offset like the early spring that swung to the left to open...The later E2's had a pinned spring that looked similar to your Canadian, and still had the ears on the spring loop. I'm a big fan of all the E2s!! They were all great shavers and easy on the eyes. They say that the later ones with the pinned springs are supposed to have become less aggressive with each change...I don't know....I still need to be carefull with them...The one I have is Plenty Aggressive....But also veddy smooth at the sametime!!

Wednesday My Canadian E2 (nickel plated,black handle) is my favorite E type. Its extremely efficient, maybe a bit aggressive but a wonderful shaver if handled properly. Ive currently got it loaded with a Dutch Schick blade.
Thur 21st Feb Jayaruh No 67 Syn. P & B Spitfire ATT SE1 & Windrose Handle Schick Proline [ 11 ] P & B Spitfire A/S Splash Everyone one has a favourite which works for them. The ATT SE1 / Proline seems to suit my beard , as even with the blade on its 11th outing, the Shave was not only smooth and comfortable but the all round finish is top notch.

Wonderful deco design. Really fun to use something almost 100 years old and have it still be better than many modern tools. Have a great day!
Tabac Thursday's Shave Cold Water Wash Tabac Shaving Soap Jayaruh #339 Boar Damaskeene OC Gem Glue Star SE CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #339 Boar brush. I did two passes with the Damaskeene OC razor with a Gem Glue Star SE 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...
02/21/2019 RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush Timeless Razors Lathering Bowl Williams Mug Soap CVS SE Blade-Modified VC1 Valet Auto Strop Nivea Aftershave Balm Pinuad Clubman Classic I had a problem yesterday when I modified the blade to fit the Valet. While I was sitting at my desk and operating the lever to bring the safety guard up one of the pins fell out and then the other one fell out as well. I Loctited the pins back in and let the Loctite dry. This fix seems to be working. Glad this happened at my desk and not the bathroom sink. First shave with the Auto Strop and it was not a bad shave. Very little alum burn, more of warm sensation than a burn. I would not make the Valet an everyday shaver but I will keep it in the rotation. When rinsing and moving the razor around I get a rattling sound at times and I think that is in the rollers. I just do not like my razors to rattle. The Valet is a great shaver though. The Williams performed well and is a great soap. Finished up with some Nivea and Clubman classic. Y'all take care and have a great Thursday!

Fri 22nd Feb RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Citra Royale ATT SE1 /Windrose Handle Schick Proline [ 12 ] Tuff Green A/S Lotion A back to back Shave with the ATT SE1. Why ? 1. Because I can and get trouble free Shaves. 2. Interested to see how the Blade performed on 12th outing. Again a trouble free Shave, quite astounding quality of Shave from this Razor/Blade combo considering the blade usage. Must see how it fares with another blade.
