I had an excellent shave this morning with the British Pal Injectomatic. Today was also the first use of my recently finished brush with a Maggard 70/30 mixed badger boar knot. Seems like a great knot and it should improve even more as it breaks in. The Zenith Boar was also used to continue its break in. I'm going to need to make a custom stand for the Zenith as it doesn't fit in any of my current stands. I finished things of with a blend of Thayers balm and The Novelist by A&E. Today's watch is the Casio world time on a 22mm nato strap using Jays&Kays adapters.
Tue 30th November Stirling Syn 26mm MWF Gem Micromatic Gem S/S ( 1 ) GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion Instructions regarding use abound for the Micromatics, get the angle right and they Shave well. I used an OC today and even with a fresh blade, the Shave was smooth, without mishap the finish quality was excellent.
They are incredible razors. I find my best shaves with them are when I concentrate on both angle and nearly zero pressure. UT even when I get a bit lax on either I still get good to great shaves.
I had a marvelous Williams Wednesday shave today complete with Aqua Velva after shave. However the real star of the show was the new to me 1887 Kampfe Brothers Star razor. This was my first shave with a wedge blade safety razor. Overall it was an excellent shave. Even though the seller did a great job honing the blades before sending the razor out, I could work on my stopping a bit to get the most out of them. The Williams lathered extremely easily with the Zenith Boar and the Aqua Velva was a fantastic finishing touch.

Thur 2nd December Omega 1126 boar Williams Mug soap ER HFT E Bar!! Gem S/S ( 1 ) Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion A pleasant enough Shave, but with this Razor I can never get the kind of close finish that I get with other ER Razors
Thursday DecemBOAR 2, 2021 Razor: Durham Dorset Blade: Schick Proline AC Style (Heavily Modified) Brush: Sad Stirling Boar Soap: Gillette Cream AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70 AS 2: Nivea Deep Fragrance: Scuderia Ferrari Black Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,121 Heavy modification of the blade was yielding a smooth, close and actually fantastic comfortable shave before things went awry during the 3rd pass and literally BLEW apart. Glad I decide to do a video which captured it. The blade actually STUCK to me when it came out. Will revisit and fine tune the blade modification when I have more time. Seeing is believing.............watch the video and have a great day !
I just watched this one and the metal nipper video. 1.7K views on the nipper video Glad there was no blood shed on this one.
First shave with the 1909 Ever-Ready. @twhite was kind enough to load a new carbon blade with a shim so I could see how that should look. I'm not a fan of carbon blades but didn't want to waste one either. So I shaved with it. The shave went quite well. However for the next shave I will load an SS PTFE. Williams on the Zenith Boar whipped up wonderfully again and I finished things off with a splash of Aqua Velva.
Fri 3rd December Cyril Salter. MS- ED2BAND Lea Classic soap Yaqi Raster V2 Feather Proguard ( 3 ) Lea Classic A/S Lotion Another reason for not using a HFT is that not only is it too mild for me, but it produces rapid heavy regrowth. Though due to start an Injector rotation, used the Yaqi Raster V2 for a good clean up. I think I prefer the V2 to the V3 as the blade loading and fitting seems superior. Really quite amazing how this budget offering delivers such good Shaves.
Thanks. I was surprised he was letting it go. I'm glad to be able to give it a good home. These things don't fair well out on the cold and lonely streets and it's or duty to look after them.
