    Schick N1, Schick II twin blade, shave 21
    [​IMG]

    21 shaves and still going. BBS finish achieved though the blade maybe starting to give up the ghost. Next shave or 2 will determine if that is the case.

    These blades are by far the best shaving blade out there DE or SE as long as you have a razor designed for use with them. This Type N and I assume others also and the Schick adjustables are the best match for these twin blades.

    The blades would probably work well in a Gillette Twinjector razor. Never did put a twin blade in the one had I to use before sending it along to you. What is the biggest scam is they could have easily recreated the razor head geometry in the cart with twin blades like these razors but they didn't. That should tell you all you need to know about carts being purposely misdesigned.

    SOTD, Tue, Feb 2nd 2021- A.S.R Tuesday with my 2nd Generation Streamline razor. Took a while to figure it out over the last 2 years but best results with my Streamline are short shallow strokes work best for my self. Steep approach does not work for myself at all.

    Razor: Everready Streamline 2nd generation-MFG 1949-53, great razor, upper mid range, one of the best looking ASR razors IMO.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) excellent blade, Very sharp, smooths out nicely, great longevity & predictable.
    Soap: Razorock Lavender- Excellent manly scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Chianti's 24mm knot- excellent lather Generator, cloud like soft tips with some back bone for a nice gentle scrub and great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on my cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups,
    Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 small blemish weeper = [​IMG]Excellent shave with my 2nd Gen streamline with a coated Gem blade.

    Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!
