Thanks Clint! Glad to be back. Tapping on the keyboard is as close to Social Interaction as I'd like for the time being. Thanks Tim! I'm not a Top Enabler here, but I'll do my part. Ready? Here's a freebie - If you use an Android phone for your photos, Snapseed (free app) is a powerful photo editor available at the Google shop. The Yaqi Mellon Double Open Comb (DOC) does a great job of leaving some lather behind for that second, or overlapping passes. Although is appears to have a huge blade exposure, the geometry is spot on so it shaves like a mild, less aggressive razor but efficiently. You can purchase the top end directly from China (ACK!) or from several online shops for less than the price of a tub of soap. Standard threads allow for the use of a handle you may already own. As to that Schick/Everready Type H injector - I don't recall the name given by the maker, but someone started classifying them couple years ago. Starting with earliest called Type A, this is a later model marketed to the Ladies. No such thing as gender in shaving hardware and the design caught my eye. Like all Schick injectors it has a small face and easy to find angle. I grip it between thumb and finger and shave with abandon. The Chinese made Schick blades (Chicks) give good service for 5, 6, or more uses, and there are other blade makers selling their refills.
I did an above the shoulder shave and even polished the razor for the grand finale. I went back to that post and you hit like.
Malcolm McDowell, too? I'm a Stanley Kubrick fan. Yup, inquiring minds want to know but I'd want the Clockwork Orange label.
Thanks Jason. When I jumped into this hobby, I thought I would buy and use fancy new gear. Instead, I have been blessed to acquire and use some pretty awesome hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind items. For example, most of my brush handles are handcrafted by folks like yourself, Rudy Vey, @Jayaruh, and @twhite. I'll always remember where these treasured items came from and the fine gents who made them. Thanks Clint. Glad to hear that Maya and Swati are coming home! Thanks James. The Parker SRX shaves as good as it looks. Thanks Tim. I appreciate you running interference with Helga. Watch out for the drop kicks. Even though she's getting long in the tooth, she's powered by a healthy lifestyle (pork rinds and Camels).
Nice looking shave, Evan. The soap sounds really nice. No worries about finishing it, though, as it is an oft copied scent available from several quality brands.
