Injector and SE Shaves

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene OC
Treet
CWR
Cella ASB

Well, I took a day off after Wednesday's blood fest. So, I will finish the week with my GEM Damaskeene OC razor.

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene OC with a Treet Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD, SEptember 17th, 2021

Razor: Yaqi 50mm AC,V1 Excalibur- Mfg 2021> great tame mid range, great results, mostly carefree shaving and enjoyable.
Blade: China Blue blade 50mm(3), I received these blades with my Shavette, Sharp & smooth but longevity iffy IMO(testing).
Soap: Williams Mug soap- great soap if you apply the lather pastier or thicker and add very little water, to much water you will find it not that good a lather. Once you know what to look for it is a great soap. Nice lemony scent with good slickness protection.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot, with black marble acrylic handle, excellent lather generator, nice scrubber, cloud like soft tips + great lather painter.
Pre shave: (Cashmere 24mm syn, 720+ shaves)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on clean beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm.(Great stuff, scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 weeper= excellent shave with my Yaqi V1 Excalibur razor with a blue blade.


Have some great shaves!

That is a very cool looking brush. It looks like a Briarwood pipe.

 

I had a very enjoyable shave today with the Kampfe Brothers Star razor and a fresh Gem SS PTFE blade. I'm also really enjoying the scent and lather quality of The Novelist from The Club by Ariana & Evans.

 

Thanks.
I got it off Etsy from RivaBrushesItaly. He does beautiful work.

I LOVE the look of those Olympic schick, one of the better designs, I didn't get the stick one with the gear stick/shifter knob on the end and that one with the tennis racket handle is a no no for me.

Good review about your shave are the personna blades the best for the injector in your opinion?

 

Hello Ken, they are good blade and come in a magazine of 20. They are very sharp and you need a light touch and they perform ok. I buy my blades from Connaught shaving UK and have them mailed to Canada because where I live there are no stores that carry injectors. I'm happy with them, it you buy a used Schick injector make sure to use a new blade so you have a good idea what sharp is. I made the mistake of trying to use some old blades that were decades old and lost their edge and almost turned me off of injectors.
Another good blade are the Schick blades sold usually on amazon in packs of 7 in yellow packaging and they are also sharp & smooth with good longevity.
