Injector and SE Shaves

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger
Schick M Adjustable
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The Colgate Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M Adjustable Razor (7) with a Schick Proline B20 Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuff Green A/S Lotion

One thing is sure, even if you have a great Razor /Blade combo a good Shave is never 100 % guaranteed. Today because I obviously was not concentrating I got a somewhat patchy Shave totally unlike the ones I have been getting all week. Will have one more tomorrow with The "O" Clone before moving on to an N3.

 

The adjustable DE is probably my design. It's a very comfortable razor. Here's a link to all my free files https://www.thingiverse.com/rogerquin/designs

Razor: Gem Clog Pruf(Peerless model 17nib SB) Mfg 1945, excellent mid range, smooth & comfortable, excellent design & built to last.
Blade: Kai Protouch modified (2) Excellent blade, sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity, a little pricey compared to Gem SS PTFE blade. Gem coated tends to have better longevity from my experience but the Protouch is a smoother shave for the first couple of shaves IMO. Gem coated blades will shave closer because of its proven sharpness, Kai Protouch reaches a nice shave regardless.
Soap: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandal wood, nice sandal wood scent with great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Aquarius 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, good scrub + great lather painter. Seems like Yaqi tried to imitate a 2 band badger feel IMO. Great brush with a lot of effort to jam the handle with sea setting articles.
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: Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gem Clog Pruf with a Kai Protouch modified.


Have some great shaves!

 

Very nice Roger, Gem had a lot of engineers trying different methods to make a Gem adjustable razor and you came out with a working model in a couple of days. Time seems to moving really fast with new technology's. Great idea and to put your adjustable into a working model is unique!

Have some great shaves!

 

Thank you! That Gem Adjustable looks amazing! Being able to go from an idea on the computer screen to a fully working plastic razor and not getting your hands dirty is almost like cheating compared to the hundred-year-old methods. It is my strong opinion that the engineers and machinists of yesteryears created some of the best crafted and most beautiful razors. And they probably will outlive many of today's mass-produced razors. Our collections are a testament to that.

 

Very neat-looking razor!

 

Are the stl files available for the razor ? I looked but couldn't find that razor anywhere..... Thanks

 

Sorry, files are not available yet.

Great early model. Some of my very favorite wedge razors. The craftsmanship is second to none.

 

Agree. The machining that went into these Wilkinsons is really something to be admired.
