Sunday Schick Shave, Sept 13th 2020 Razor: Schick adjustable injector M3- Mfg 1970-72 Excellent Schick injector, I always get good shaves with this one. Blade: Personna injector SS PTFE (2) very sharp, good longevity, I use this blade in a lot of my Schick injectors. Folks knock this blade sometimes for the blade magazine or smoothness. Use light touch and shaves become Stellar. Soap: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore- One of my best soaps for scent and lather qualities. Very nice protection! Brush: Yaqi Rainbow brown whiskers 26mm synthetic- Excellent brush for creating lather & cloud like soft tips. Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on bead area. Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups. Post shave: Nivea refreshing aftershave + witch hazel +a small dollop of Avon True Gent balm . Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Schick adjustable injector M3. Have some great shaves!Stay & think safe in these times.
Second outing with this previously NOS John & Wm Ragg. First outing it was actually too sharp for me which is saying a lot. This time I adjusted my technique and it settled down noticeably with a flatter angle. Still got a couple of weepers (and it doesn’t hesitate to bite loose skin) but a wonderful result On a side note: This brush and cream combo is my favorite. I’ve never mentioned how much I like the Savile Row brush. I have some very high quality brushes but this one is noticeably above the rest. And I never tire of the Castle Forbes Lavender.

The Sunday shave and what a shave it was. I had a Gillette Rocket HD on deck today but decided to break out the AS-D2 from its beautiful red box instead. I am really happy Mrs. S found this one for me and it was NIB when she grabbed it. Just a fantastic razor. Loaded up with a Perma-Sharp Super which is a blade I have not tried in this razor. Soap of the day was First Line Shave Red Label which is a great choice if you are looking for a cologne scent. This one is a dupe of Dior Fahrenheit and quite nice. Just a real pleasure to lather this soap and the strong scent is just so good. All good here with this one. Proceeded through a nice leisurely shave enjoying the whole process today. Four passes in total with WTG, XTGx2 and ATG leading to a super close and smooth shave. Indeed the dolphins ARE screaming. Enjoy your Sunday and stay safe.

Wow i thought older than that but i was born in 82 so im cool with that. I love your brush also. The color is why i bought mine.
A&E has jumped to the top for me over the last year. I have about 8 to 10 of them and every scent is wonderful.
Sept 13. My post war Gillette Tech, personal blues, home made Bay Rum shaving soap, and Smoke from the Woods as aftershave.
Thx for that - and hope you like their version of the Bay. I am on it. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
