    Friday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Shaving Cream Sensitive
    SlimGem Silvertip Badger
    Gem 3d Printed Razor
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS

    The Proraso Shaving Cream Sensitive was applied with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. One pass and touch ups with the Gem 3d Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Schick Type G? Canadian made injector, vintage Schick Platinum plus blade, shave 2
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Here is what I am tentatively calling a Type G because of the spring. The Canadian made Type E and this one are anomalies since they don't perform like their American made counterparts. 2 shaves and at least to me there is no question this razor is much better than your standard American made Type G counterpart. I still can't say if this is the same as a Canadian Type E3 yet but it has confirmed that the blade I currently have loaded in the Canadian E3 is a dud and it isn't because they are designed in a subpar fashion. End result BBS finish achieved.

    Thank you, Gary. Previously, when I asked Sarah Burrows, the artist side of the Phoenix and Beau team, if the label was inspired by the album, her response was, "It wasn't but it eerily looks like it does!"

    Schick Canadian Type E3 injector, vintage schick platinum plus blade, shave 3
    [​IMG]

    Blade is a 1990 NOS from a 7 blade key in an unopened box. I switched in a good blade after the last shave since it turned out that blade was a dud. Much better shave and with this shave was able to figure out finally that a Canadian Type E3 is a different shaver than a Canadian marked G1. What was suprising is the Canadian Type G is a closer and smoother shaver than this razor. End result BBS finish achieved.

    SE and Injector Party'ers... I know I haven't been around, but I think of you and this Party all the time!

    I've been tooo busy with relocating.. Internationally... And, You know, new house, car, new barber, new phone, Dr., lights for the pool, etc etc

    One biggy... I checked out 3 different cities and found a brick & mortar,hhere on the Med in Turkey that carries the German Old Spice!! I swear I think that's the closest to the original sauce I remember as a kid on my Pop. At least the olfactory response gives me chills, it's a time machine, I love it. Also found Clubman locally, that's a first.

    BTW, Jayaruh, that Civil War Shaving Brush forgery with the Badger knot you made me is the best brush on the Planet for me. I hope it lasts for the rest of my life because I don't even want to shave onetime without it!!

    My favorite razors since moving have been the ER Lather Catcher from Fuzzy, its sings louder and better than Pavarotti; the Auto-Strop A1 from twhite for knocking down several days thick growth; and my regular day in and day out reach for is my Schick chrome I2 Hydrozilla @Karl G laid on me 'NOS' still in case with razor blank. He was saving it for a collectible but knew it was my Pop's favorite so he gave it to be. I immediately popped a blade in it and it gets 90% of my shaves since. It's that good!

    I'll try to hang more often... My new phone is very simple... I mainly wanted something small for actually Making phone calls, ha ha, so this one can't resize photos or it doesn't support almost anything I used to use a phone for. So I got what I wanted... Becareful what you wish for lmao!

    Great shaves for everyone!!

    Sunday Schick shave, Jan 31st 2021

    Razor: Schick adjustable injector Model 3(M3)- excellent Schick injector razor, still mid range in the 2-3 adjustment range.
    Blade: Personna SS PTFE injector(6) excellent blade, sharp & smooth and inexpensive, great longevity.
    Soap: Proraso red Sandal wood- great soap, different Sandal wood scent than other's, great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Red Zebra 26mm- If a person likes big knots that have heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scub & excellent lather painter and has a awesome handle this one might be worth it IMO. One of my favorite 26mm synthetics.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar Cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso red Sandal wood with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + minor irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]Excellent shave with my Schick adj injector M3 + a Personna injector blade (6).
