    My first SE Shave for a few days as I have been testing a Vintage Cart as a Travel Razor. Though today’s Shave was OK I think the blade was not at its best.

    Thank you. My son broke the cross hairs on the scope on his pellet gun. :(He wanted to see what they felt like:rolleyes005:. I told him he had to buy a new one with his own money and I would use the parts from the broken one. This is the result.:happy093: I made an acrylic plug to replace the lens and glued it in.

    I'm finally getting around to posting Tuesday's shave. It was the TARMAX INJECTOR with a Schick Proline B20. What a great shave. All three TARMAX Razors a fantastic but I think the Injector is my favorite by a hair, especially since it works with a Proline B20.

    I like it when people use other objects for brush handles. I made a few using flashlights.

    SE SOTD, Saturday, April 1st 2023


    Razor : Ever-Ready, British 1912 model- Mfg 1936-53, tame mid range, excellent Mfg razor with excellent finish QC, this razor sold millions over the decades of production both in USA & Great Britain because it was just that good. Used a modern Gem SS PTFE blade and it works better than was offered back in the that era of shaving. Also used a RIGS shim to mimic the tilt of the older blades at that time period.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Gillette Pure cream, nice clean unique scent with excellent lather qualities. Makes excellent Ubber lather also.
    Brush : Yaqi "Casino clubs" 26mm timer wolf knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of my favorite brushes to use.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Razorock Irish Countryside AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : [​IMG] or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent stellar close shave this morning with my Ever-ready 1912 model with a coated Gem blade.(It don't get much better when shaving + no irritation!)

    Today's shave was the third shave with the TARMAX Injector and the second using a Schick Proline B20 in it. It was a great shave but sadly will be my last with the TARMAX razors since it is time to send them back to Tom. My next shave will be with a very special razor though so I won't be crying for very long.

    Both from the same flashlight. 24mm and 26mm synthetics. I have another one in which the handle extends a bit if needed. But forgot where it is...........

    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
