Schick G8 razor Personna blade FS Finest brush Lea Menthol SC Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol A Face Freezing Friday Shave!! And a mighty fine one too. I think the G8 is my favorite of the G series Schicks. Always a close, smooth, comfortable shave. Now go enjoy your day folks.
Is it the camera or does that blade really have that super cool pattern on it. Not seen anything like it. A very cool razor.
Blade is made of Damascus Steel—"...steel made with a wavy surface pattern produced by hammer-welding strips of steel and iron followed by repeated heating and forging, used chiefly for knife and sword blades. Such items were often marketed, but not necessarily made, in Damascus during the medieval period."
FRIDAY Smooth shave this morning using this Japanese Western-style (J-West) straight razor. The razor needed some restoration work so although this my second shave using this razor, it is the first since refinishing both the scales and blade. Very nimble, keen razor that is really a pleasure to use. Have a great Friday, all!

Had Paul Revere not told the Minuteman the British were coming, you'd have had to choose a different injector from Shick.
Friday... This shave felt very......classic, for lack of a better word. I was thinking of Henry Fonda, John Ryan, Glen Ford, Carey Grant, Eisenhower even ran thru my mind. So, black & white Mitchell's Wool Fat soap, bowl lathered with my Rooney 1/3 Ebony/Best. Three passes with my father's Schick Krona loaded with a NOS Schick Stainless Krona Edge (5) Smooth and touchable finish called for Fine American Blend.
