Injector & SE Party !!!

I agree the N is a is an awesome looking razor. Of my injectors, I like the looks of the N the best (followed by the I2 and J), but reach for it the least when it's time to shave (most of my injector shaves are with an E2 or with an M2 or M3 adjustable). I have loaded a twin blade in the N and I am looking forward to seeing if the N gets reached for more often. Don't get me wrong though, I love shaving with all my injectors (even the ones that I didn't mention).

I wonder if the N design inspired the looks of other razors, seems that the Gillette injector and even the Trac II handle both have a very similar look. IIRC the N came out in the early 80s.

(Sorry about all the parentheses)

My 1912 arrived today. Just shaved with it... Face now looks like a butcher's apron!
This thing is NOTHING like my 34c... It's going to be a whole new learning curve. To be fair, the WTG pass went ok. It just all went a bit south going XTG. I'll be sticking with the 2x WTG passes for the next couple of weeks whilst I nail down the angle and pressure (or lack thereof).

 

Hopefully you'll have better results with the twin blade. Keep us posted. ☺️

I have the same G3. It's a lightweight, but shaves just as good as the other G models.

 

I noticed one on the 'Bay today. It's not a BIN, but does have a BO option.

 

That came from someone in the 30DC. They are kinda throwed anyway.

The secret is to let the cap show you the angle. Sorry it did not go as good as it could. You will catch on soon.

I am veddy looking forward to it getting here!!

Nice 2 pass shave despite the blade being past 5 which is when I normally pitch them.

Love that brush handle!!

 

Veddy nice lather catcher shave tonight! The 1900 Superior with a Treet blade is awesome! A smaller Eterna boar works great on the vintage Williams in the Old Foley scuttle. I do not use this AS much but now and then the Skin Bracer Cool Spice is good.

I have stopped using my USA Schick E2 in favour of this rather minty Canadian version of the E2. I have found it to be
a much smoother Razor especially when used with the Proline Blade. It is not as comfortable in use as my PAL, but I still
managed to get an extremely good Shave without any problems during or after.

As it had only been about 15hrs since my last shave with I-gor (I can't stop thinking E-gor), I decided to try it on the lower setting.
I face lathered with the dynamic duo of Shavemac and Wholly Kaw and set off.
The mild setting was a good choice until I got to the grey hairs in the Van Dyke area and then it struggled but no more than a Pushbutton struggles in the same area.
I dont know where others have found their ideal angle on Igor but I've found riding the cap on the front hump (Snoopy's nose, if you like) similar to the curve on the General is perfect for me.
Have a great weekend.

I had not heard of a Canadian Navy WWII version before. What distinguishes it as that?
