Well said

Sorry for the amount of photos but I'm pretty excited about having harpooned one of my white whales

Emerging out of the dark pits of collecting and voe...smothered in secret sauce and draped in a veil of thinly woven unobtanium.....

Hm, I wonder if I have all the Schick alphabet razors now....

Great Catch Sir..You need to watch when you Harpoon a Japanese Schick White Whale...

Billy...

I've also got a few other single edge razors.

Holy cow

Bob...That a Serious Collection of SEs ....

Billy..

If anyone is gonna own one of those wacky ladies type H's Im guessing you would buddy.....

See, now I feel better about myself. Thanks Bob.

C'mon man, you gotta tell is all about it. Tell us where you found it.




You just don't see Jabonman Rosas soap every day.....

J/K. Trying to hide my jealousy.......

Ah the "H" yeah...that one is surely missing from my collection.

Bought it through a private sale from a member on another forum

OMG!!!

A guy misses a couple of days at TSD, comes back and this thread just explodes! Looks like 10 pages have been added in two days!


@Karl G has me seeing double (with PAL Adjustables) and he can't stop polishing his D! ,
@clint64 has what looks like a brand-spanking new Golden 500 that he takes on motorcycle trips,
@Billyfergie is doing educational spreads that gets me feeling like I did when eye-balling National Geographics in my youth , @Herm2502 owns a Lady Eversharp, @Hodge shows off an injector vault that rivals @Darkbulb who is once again smitten by the latest Sweet (Shiny) Thing that shows a lot of leg (chrome)

and the Chairman of this Board @Bird Lives has all his pals @spidey9 coming back to show us what a REAL collection looks like ...and the beat goes on with them and all you SE and injector freaks!

I'm such a piker in your presence!

You should make a weekly summary like this - call it the "The Party Digest"

@Darkbulb Ah the "H" yeah...that one is surely missing from my collection.

Stay tuned for an H Type shave review next month... :rah: Yeah, I'm that comfortable.

This month is perfect for me to learn skills with new-to-me equipment.

So I'm off injectors for a bit because I wanted to test drive this new-fangled SE. I've never shaved with anything but vintage razors so this has been a challenge. There has certainly been a tough learning curve for me.

Razor: Mongoose B3
Blades: Feather Artist Club Professional (3)
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Manna
Brush: Omega 31025 Scarlatti Boar
AS: Changes at will. Today: Myrsol Blue



Two-pass shave. (XTG, ATG) Face-lather.

I think I’m getting there with this razor / blade combo.

I think the learning curve has been a long one (for me) due to this being a razor unlike any I’ve ever shaved with (weight, size, etc.) PLUS the combination with this blade (first time using a Feather of any kind, and the AC Pro is unforgivingly sharp).

I’ve had some blood-letting, as recently as yesterday, but all those events, combined with a good deal of advice from around here, has made me understand this combo much better and wised me up for the specific things I need to be ever-aware of.

Today was the best shave so far. BBS on 95% of my face. Holidays will affect my routine, but I think all I need now is repetition.

Cheers!

Any particular body part you intend to shave with it?

Um, my wife's legs?

Schick Route 66 Type G 4 Injector..

Three Pass Routine..

Hot Water prep & massage with Coconut Oil
Schick Route 66 Type G 4 Injector
NOS Schick Krona Blade ( Dutch ) x2
Semogue Boar Brush
Erasmic Shaving Soap (added Argan oil)
Organic Aloe Vera Gel
LOGONA Mann Aftershave Splash (From Germany)

I used a Dutch made NOS Schick Krona blade in my G Type 4 today...The silky smooth finish on the skin from these blades never ceases to amaze me...These blades are never as smooth on the first pass as some other Schick NOS blades but they sure come into their own in subsequent passes...They are a very forgiving blade that allows one to almost paint the face with them like a Modern Cartridge System...I just checked my stash & I have over 70 USA & Dutch made Schick Krona blades ...My stash has crept up on me without me realizing...Gotta stop purchasing every NOS blade that I see on EU Flea - Bay...
