    Cyril Salter. MS-ED2band
    Vitos Super Red
    Schick N3
    Schick S/S Twin -Japan [ 2 ]
    Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

    A very nice Shave on a Sunday morning with a short road trip and a few hours officiating ahead of me. The N3 is IMHO probably the most elegant
    of the long handled Schicks made in the USA , and it works superbly with a Twin Blade. Must of been a short production run as very few appear on the Shaving Scene.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Colgate Mug Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger
    C.V. Heljestrand
    Heljestrand Wedge
    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 C.V. Heljestrand Razor with a Heljestrand Wedge 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...

    Look at that head! So shiny smoooooth!

    Achieved with a 1947 Eversharp Schick Fashion Razor injector razor, a Personna 74 injector blade and vintage 1960s Palmolive USA Shave Cream!

    Fun, different, excellent result!

    A rather excellent lather today, as last time out with LOccitane I got the brush far too wet. Made for a lovely quality Shave in all respects.

    Thanks to Mike @MPF9 for gifting the blades. A suitable accompaniment to my prized Canadian E3. Not as sharp as a Proline B but a pleasant result.

    Looks like an excellent shave.
    I hope to get my hands on a few Personna 74s some day. They just fetch such a high price every time I've seen them. Definitely not in my budget any time soon.

    The Schick Super Stainless Krona blades are my most favorite blades of all, injector and DE. Since I'm out of them in injector form, I've been using some "in disguise" Personna 74 injector blades.
    I'll try and find the post that taught me about "in disguise" Personna 74 injector and DE blades but the gist of it is, they continued making the Personna 74 blades long after they ditched the actual name "Personna 74". When you see any blades for sale that are specifically marked "Personna 74" on the packaging, you're paying for the name and the legend. Once you know what to look for and find "in disguise" Personna 74 blades, they can be had very often for way much less. The last I bought - two NOS 18 blade magazines for a total of 36 blades - were $15 shipped.

    I had an excellent shave with the British Ever-Ready 1912 today. Such a fantastic razor and I love the peerless handle.
