Sunday Schick shave, July25th 2021

Razor: Schick i2 injector with hydro magic, Mfg 1954-57, excellent tame mid range, very nice razor to manipulate all areas of the face. Small foot print around the nose or high lining a beard.
Blade: Personna SS PTFE(9) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable IMO.
Soap: Colonel Conk Bayrum, nice mild scent with excellent lather qualities>good slickness IMO.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm synthetic , one of my favorites, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrubber and excellent lather painter. Hard to beat and got me interested in Yaqi this brush did.
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: witch hazel + Ogallala bayrum with Sandalwood + a dollop of Nivea balm + 2 drops of HA.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my Schick i2 injector with hydro magic with a Personna coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

Another great hybrid triple pass shave. Modded GD 208, Valet Auto Strop, Fine Accouterments Italian Citrus soap (old formula) and A/S.




The GD 208is going in to be honed. It has been maybe eight years since the last time and I can't seem to maintain a really good edge anymore. It still shaves OK, but not great.

Thank you Steve.
