SOTD February 11th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Schick Injector Type F
Personna
Maseto Shaving Classic (30mm, Cruiser Class)
Stirling Haverford soap and AS
Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB

This week is going to be an Injector theme week for me as I work through EDRIO. No better place to start then with the Type F. All metal construction and industrial good looks! The Type F not only looks good but to me is a very aggressive razor, right up there with the E2 and Pal IM. I also realized that there was still one more scent from my Stirling Black Friday order that I haven't tried yet, Haverford. Sweet tobacco and vanilla and STRONG! Opening the soap tub quickly made the bathroom smell like my grandpa was smoking a cigar near by. A nice heavy load with the poor mans Chubby 3 had me a bowl full of lather that looked like melted chocolate ice cream. I finished with Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB followed by a very light application of the Haverford AS, which I can still smell quite strongly 5 hours later. Have a great day my friends!

 

Wonderful photo, Andrew! I didn't realize you had a Schick F. Jealous!! Yes, you're right about Haverford - it's STRONG! I wore it yesterday and it stayed with me all day. Bathroom smelled like it most of the day too, which isn't a bad thing. Very nice!

 

Thank you Perry!

 

Thanks Andrew!

 

i liked using my e 3s when i had them , just liked the gillettes more. but if i were to have another schick it would be an f type..the all metal appeals to me ..

 

Love the F and a great photo!

 

Thank you Andrew! Not too shabby yourself. Good to hear they are on the more aggressive side as that's my preference. Got a pocket change jar with a Type F as my goal. There are still a few of them kicking around though they are limited editions. All the AD's have calmed for the moment. I don't visit my close by junk shops like I used to. Give them a chance to build up stock and hope I don't have too much local competition.

 

Great shave and photo Danny. Very nice 1912.

Excellent post John. I have wondered the same thing about boar bristles. I have had the same thing happen to a boar brush while the next one from the same manufacturer didn’t have the issue at all.

Thanks Clint ! Out of all of the SEs I have tried this month I think the 1912 is favorite. It is s great shaver but I like the fact that I can put the Weber bulldog on it. I just like that handle.

 

Thanks Danny!

Thanks Rick! Maybe one will come up on that other auction site.

 

Day 38.

First time trying Henri et Victoria with the straight. Another keeper, I'd say. As with all of my soaps, the straight razor is a whole new go/no go test. I like this scent, but I think I'm a little sensitive to something in the fragrance. Only a little bit though. So I'll be keeping it, just won't repurchase this particular scent.

Otherwise, all the stars lined up nicely and it was a great shave.

 

Fantastic shave lineup and photo Andrew.

I visit it often to look. That where I bought a Lot that included my Stahly. It was in the group photo, but tucked in the back behind other stuff.

 

other auction site?

 

Did I type that out loud? Yeah... there are auction sites besides the bay.

 

Beautiful setup Robert!
