    Thursday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Green Mountain Balsam Spice Shaving Soap
    T-400 Silvertip
    Gillette Techmatic
    Techmatic Band
    CWR
    Granddad's Blend AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Green Mountain Balsam Spice Shaving Soap face lathered well with T-400 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Band SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    After using the Vector for four days I thought it only fair to let the Cobra have its say.
    Has the Vector ousted the Cobra from pole position in my affections?
    Not quite, maybe if I fit the Vortex with a Pro Super I'll change my mind.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

  5. Unless it's an E, the tab does not move. Do not open the spring or you'll ruin the razor. Also, keep a blade in it

    Focus R48 Dynamic SE with a Gillette Rubie Blade

    I actually look forward to my shaves with the Focus...it just works and always delivers fantastic shaves.
    3 passes (because I had enough lather)for a great 'face feeling finish'.

    Simpson Chubby 1/ Maggards 2 Band
    L`Occitane Cade Soap
    Schick N3
    Schick Twin - Japan [ 10 ]
    Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

    I always enjoy using the N3, but feel today that the blade was past its best.I think I have probably messed it up while rooting around in my Razor cave searching for a lost Razor. Might have to do a bit of post Shave clean up, as going to a funeral this afternoon.

  15. What ever superlative comes to mind - that’s what this shave was. Easy as pie and close, close, and closer. It’s a special hone job from my friend @Billyfergie.:happy088:
    I’ve never had a better shave from my Nordic Queen. And that’s saying a lot. :happy036:

  19. This may have been answered... the early model E2's opened. Later models did not. All the E2's do not have grooves on the safety bar. That came in with the E3. If it has 2 patend numbers it is a G. The E's only have one. They all shave great!
  20. Beautiful razor!
