What are you waiting on to arrive...?

So how does it lather with a hole in it?

 

This is an example of the Apollo I thought it reminded me of: Link

 

Don't ask me how I know either.

 

Ok, now I want to see some C-Mon's with holes in 'em

 

My C-Mon fail went into the recycle bin. Aluminum polish is OK, but avoid sanding IMO.

 

Mine ended up in the trash.

 

Starting to see why you don't see many of them in SOTD photos

 

Well that's a surprize all the way to hell and back Sir.......If that's not its twin brother I am a Dutchman.....I got a bargain then.....
Thanks for the Intel....

 

Put in an 'offer' on this Daveso Garanti - one of the earliest dual-comb DE razors and 'won' it.
Will be great fun to try out.

 

That's a lovely razor and an interesting design for sure....I am assuming with a name like that its Italian ....

 

I'm guessing that as well but it has been hard to find any good information about this razor so far.

 

My Omega 10066 from Bullgoose shipped today.


If you haven't checked out their site yet all their Omega brushes are still at 50% off with code OMEGA at checkout.

 

That's what I like about this Forum....The DEs and SEs are all one Section....Every other forum I've seen are separate and wee cliques develop....Everybody mucks in and shares Intel here....
Brilliant...

I like that too =)

 

After backing the Single Edge injector yesterday, I decided to I didn't want to wait until next March to start playing with injectors... so I found a Schick Model I and Model J, together as a lot for $13 shipped on ebay. No pictures of the undersides of either razor, hopefully they're in good working order. Expecting to put in a little time getting them cleaned up.



Picked up a 20-pack of the Personna blades as well.

 

Most of my Schick Collection Dates back to the early B Type Repeaters, Type D, Type F, through the E & G Types......I have a more Modern Schick Adjustable, but I recently acquired a Couple of Ladies Eversharp injectors sporting the Hydro Magic heads which is basically a Type J that opens for cleaning.....I must say that I am seriously impressed with the Hydro Magic......I just love shaving with it..

These Type J & the Type I are on the Milder Side for sure than the earlier ones....The Heads have a steeper angle of attack..... They have a larger surface of the Head Flat against the Face which makes them easier to use than the earlier models...

That's the key to shaving with a Schick Injector.....Totally Flat Against the Face...Some folks try too hard with them and end up with a bad shave because they do not trust the simplicity of shaving Totally "Flat Against the Face" and nothing else.....That said....You can get away with using a fair bit of pressure with these later models....The Schick instructions advice this and it was a selling point.....That is just down to trial & error.....These are super efficient injectors....
Enjoy.....

I am waiting on one of my Holy Grail razors. I have been trying to get one for awhile but kept getting outbid. I finally sniped one that was poorly listed as part of a lot. My "Pat Apl'd For" Gillette Double Ring is in transit
