  6. I have not used it in a while and the missus, aka SWMBO, really enjoys the scent.

  7. Yes, however, he no longer posts here. I think he got pissed for whatever the reason. I reached out to him not too long ago when he liked one of my comments on another thread. He never acknowledged as to why he doesn't comment here any longer.

  9. Thanks Joe! I don't own any Jayaruh boar brushes. My #290 and #386 are synthetic and silvertip brushes, respectively. I like these brushes just the same.

  11. Most aren't. Some are. I've never used any of the "E" series. Most folks consider the E2 to be fairly aggressive.
    I have several of the "G" series as well as an "L" (I think anyway) and one of the Revere Schicks.

    The "L", the Revere and two of the Gs are very mild. Smooth but efficient and a dream to use. One of the Gs is a G8 - it's a bit of a handful. Honestly, I thought there was something wrong with it. A ton of blade feel. It wasn't until I watched a video that Fuzzy did with a G8 where he mentioned that not all G8s are the same. Some are smooth like the other Gs, and some have lots of blade feel - similar to an E2. It shaves just fine, but you have to be mindful. It will bite if you let it.

    If you get a chance, pick up an injector. They're plentiful and usually pretty cheap. I think you'd be hooked instantly.

  13. @Primotenore Joseph, if you’re interested, I have a G Type I don’t shave with that I’d be glad to send your way along with some blades. Let me know if you’re interested.

  16. That's great Myles! @Trigger or @JACarbone are both experienced straight shavers and could provide some good advice on what to look for.

  20. @myles wilson I would see if it would shave the hair off my arm before I would buy it. Check to see if it is warped and look for uneven spine (severe honewear). Look for rust or pitting on the blade. Look for cracks on the scales, especially at the pivot pin. Check these things on both sides. See if it closes on center without hitting the scales. If blade closes without your help, then the pivot pin needs to be tightened. These are the things to look for when buying a vintage straight from an antique store.
