    Thur 1st July

    Stirling Syn. 26mm
    Vitos Super Red
    Occams Oren -3dot
    Schick Proline [ 5 ]
    Alcolado Glacial A/S Splash.

    Still using the Oren after a poor Shave on Saturday [ totally down to me]. Since then I have been missing my daily shave routine, and used the Oren on Two days growth. Am very pleased to say that not only have the Shaves been trouble free, but the finished Shave quality has been excelent. Today was a very pleasant experience, thanks a lot to the Vitos which is a great soap to shave with. I am sure if that there were not so many artisan soaps around, the Vitos would be an essential choice for many as it so good.

    Arthur,
    That is the Biz of the 3D versions so far, hope it shaves as well as it looks. Am afraid that currently I am stuck in an AC/SE World and my oldies very neglected.

    Cheers Mike,
    The design was certainly well thought out by Roger Quintero. The shaving angle is very like the 1914. However it is milder, and will certainly not be as long lasting.

    I had a fantastic shave this morning with the Treet razor and a 3rd use Gem SS PTFE blade. I love the scent of the Novelist on its own. However today I mixed it with some dragons blood soap resulting in a very interesting scent.

    SE SOTD, Fri, July2nd 2021

    Razor: Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm- Mfg 2021, good entry level 50mm blade type razor IMO, Very enjoyable shave this morning. Tried the Protouch blade for the first time in this razor and was pleasantly surprized how well it performed. (Very smooth)
    Blade: Kai Protouch (3) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity, if you are using blood thinners this blade might be of consideration. I receive excellent shaves with this guarded blade and you can shave faster if in a rush to get out the door IMO.
    Soap: Razorock The Dead Sea- nice scent + excellent lather qualities & glade I bought this soft soap.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm 2 band badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter, not a lather hog, barber pole handle is ergonomic and is a pleasure to use for those few pleasurable moments of wet shaving.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock The dead Sea Aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG] excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur 50 mm + a Kai protouch.

    Sunday Schick Shave, July 4th 2021, Happy Independence Day. Well I have tinkered with the Kai Protouch with my Schick M3 adjustable a few months ago with a spent Protouch(8 shaves) and it was a good shave even then. Well Yesterday had my first shave with a AC 50mm Kai Protouch(3) in my Yaqi 50mm Excalibur razor a couple of days ago(Friday) and was very impressed so I altered that blade for my Canadian variant G1 Hybrid(make sure to stone any burrs from cutting blade). Well the results were very impressive with a much sharper blade then with the previous experiment. I even applied a little pressure that is a no no usually, but with my experience level good with my Schick injectors I knew there was hardly a chance of a nick with the way it felt + was performing well. Thought I would share this little experiment that worked so well, one of my smoothest BBs shaves with my Schick Canadian G1 variant. Another blade alternative for some Schick[​IMG] injector owner's who like to tinker a little?

    Razor:
    Schick Canadian variant G1 Hybrid- Mfg 1940's-50s NDCodes, excellent light weight mid range, very enjoyable razor.

    Blade: Kai Protouch altered (4) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Favorite blade in the 50mm so far.

    Soap: Tabac, nice mild flowery clean scent + excellent lather qualities.

    Brush: Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo knot with black marble handle [​IMG], excellent lather generator with cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter.

    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + 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: Fine fresh Vetiver aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.

    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers =[​IMG]excellent shave with my Schick injector G1 Canadian variant with a altered Kai Protouch blade.

    Today I did a shave comparison between my Schick E my mystery/hybrid Schick E/G and my Schick G. The mystery razor seemed to be more efficient/aggressive than the Type E. Not sure what the mystery razor really is but I like it.
    In the first picture the order is E on the left mystery in the middle and G on the left.
    In the third picture you can see the Type E spring and larger Type E rivet.

    Stirling Syn.26mm
    MWF
    Occams Oren-3dot
    Feather Progurad [ 2 ]
    Arko Cream -Yagli

    My upper lip was rathe sore and crusty on Sat, so when away used a guarded blade to minimise irritation. Now back home so chose to use MWF which is always kind to my Skin.

    After the Shave, I remembered that I had some Arko -Yagli cream which I used in the past to help wipers/cuts heal and reduce irritation. I applied some and its oily richness dries out leaving the skin feeling refreshed.
