The Crazy Ivan in SEptember!
September 25

Razor - Schick M2 Injector
Blade - (3)
Brush - Vie Long 12601 The Pony
Soap - Tabac
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea

Day three of the M2 and it's wide open for effect. Let's see what this adjustable can do at its most vicious setting, shall we? Got the pony and Tabac to get a great slick lather so I'm not scared. WTG on the first pass and I can definitely tell a difference from the past two days, especially when compared to the first day at its most mild. This feels like a real razor now. Not so aggressive that it's uncomfortable but you can feel it working now. Much better feedback. Second pass XTG and the first ouch occurred. Minor nick on the neck but nothing serious. The face is done but the neck needed an additional XTG with some sliding action to finish BBS. Yep, it got the baby.

Overall a nice shave again and this is a nice razor. It still didn't win me over to keep it in any kind of rotation but neither injector impressed me that much this month. I still think the Gem 1912 is the superior SE razor of the month and that one will get used again. Nothing wrong with the injector shaves, just not my thing. Though it is hard to argue with Cary Grant.

​

Another weekend off and I'm not sure what to do with myself. Oh, I know....catch up on here! And SLEEP! Have a great weekend everyone.

 

Great outdoor photo Doug.

 

Thanks @clint64.

 

Sorry to hear about your daughters accident. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

 

I used Musco Real Oak Moss Shave cream lathered up with my semogue boar. It lathered up amazingly but I'm not sure about the smell. I didn't hate it but I'm not sure if I like it either. I'll use it later on a few more times to be sure. After the amazing lather was whipped up I picked out a gen bullet tip and loaded a carbon steel gem blade in it for its 3rd and final Shave. After 2 passes I wasn't happy with the Shave so I grabbed my G type Schick and after loading a blade in it I did 2 more passes with touch up. I chased the baby some but ended up giving up. After I rinsed off and checked my face I found that I had nearly got it. Some slight rough spots the the corners of my jaw but everywhere else is BBS. Clubman to finish and despite the 5+ passes I made hardly a burn at all.

 

As a show of support I will watch football all weekend as well

 

I like Musgo Classic scent a lot. Oak Moss, not so much.

 

Just caught my typo of Musgo. I'm coming off a hard few days and I'm about to fall asleep. As soon as supper is fixed I'm going back to bed since I have the day off.

 

I think it does. It likely attracts curiousity clicks because it's at the top of the page.

 

Thanks Charlie! The surgeons repaired her femur, said it should heal ok, 8-10 weeks. I think she's out of the woods.

 

Day 25 - SEptember 2015

30 Days with a Schick G


​

I am just cruising on this kit now. Back to La Toja, always enjoy using shave sticks. The two pass automatic smoothness was in full effect. Very comfy shave today with no feedback from the Alum, no irritation whatsoever. It's finally starting to look and feel like fall on the prairie a bit. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

Have a super Saturday!

B-3 Mongoose with Triad Ti Helix Hex
Feather Pro #3
Wolf Whiskers Red & Black TGN High Mountain White
Dusy Kabinett
Alum, Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Cucumber Melon Whipped Shea Butter
Fine – Platinum
Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet EDT

A wonderful Saturday morning shave of two passes was the closest DFS I’ve had in a long time. The awesome Rose scent of the Dusy Kabinett was matched by its stellar performance. Thanks to the generosity of @michaelAD and the scuttlebutt on TSD for leading me to Dusy.
The High Mountain White is fast becoming my favorite TGN knot. Scanctuary's cucumber-Melon Whipped Shea Butter is a super moisturizer that leaves my face feeling cool and smooth. Finished off this one a generous spritz of Fine Platinum, to be followed by the Blenheim Bouquet EDT. Hope your shave is good and your Weekend too!

Happy birthday to Danger B! I hope your day was the best!

 

Thank you much!

 

Thank you very much! Happy Birthday to you! Hope it was a great one!

 

Isn't the "slide" move kinda hard to master?...I have never tried it it just looks like it would rather easy to draw blood.

 

Did a late night shave since tomorrow is the son's bowling day again. After the rough shave with the Micromatic the other day it was almost a relief to get back to the L1 with the Schick Twin blade (2) lathered up some Soap Commander Courage and did 3 passes and some touch-up. BBS. I have to say this months focus really paid off as I feel like I could get an almost perfect shave whenever I need one. I am looking forward to trying out some other stuff. After all variety is the spice of life, but it's nice to know if I had to have a perfect shave I could knock one out pretty easily. Happy Weekend y'all.

 

Happy Birthday!!

 

Hope you had a great Birthday Charlie! Have a wonderful weekend!
