SOTD, Wed Jan 8th-2020, I made a blade carrier for my Enders Speed Shaver months ago and works great for the Obsolete propitiatory Enders blades with a Schick proline B-20 modern blade. Its like having a Schick injector with a open comb hybrid type razor that works well.

Blade : Standard Schick proline B-20 (9 use)
Soap: Razorock Don Marco
Brush : Razorock Plissoft
Preshave: Yaqi Casmire shave brush my face with CerVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3
Postshave : Alum + cold water rinse.
Postshave :FINE fresh Vetiver with witch Hazel + Nivea balm
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + alum indicated minor irritation + no weepers =

Hi everyone! It's been a while. My wife gave me a One Blade Core for Christmas. Today was my 9th day shaving with it. I finally achieved a decent shave, comparable to what I get with my Gillette 5. So, this is the first single blade razor I've ever been able to shave with. Yay! (Some of you may remember my years of failed attempts to shave with DEs, SEs, and injectors. All attempts ended in visible stubble, very bad irritation, and/or blood, and much weeping and gnashing of teeth.) So...I'm back! Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy shaving - Karl

 

Very nice setup and photo Jason.

 

Pretty cool Karl.

 

Thanks. I am very pleased with this SHaDE razor. It is very efficient and easy to use.

 

Well I sat with a buddy before New Years trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with the Supply V2 and came to the conclusion it was how I was reloading the blade after cleaning it. So fresh blade in today and right as rain as they say!

Proraso green is the smell of Italian Barbershops or at least that is what I am going with and my new bowl is bringing me so much joy I reached for the cream this morning. Little pre-shave joy too!

Lovely two pass shave (WTG/ATG) and smooth as can be. The three dot plate is my fav of the three I have for this polished beauty. From now on I just take everything apart, clean and dry everything and just reassemble.

Due to my location and certain circumstances that have made the news my shave was late. I actually face lathered this time. The lather wasn't to my usual standard, but it was still wonderful.

I still have a few shaves left in it, Doc @ilts

 

Good looking shave.

 

Thank you, sir.
