Injector & SE Party !!!

SOTD October 19, 2018

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Schick B1
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

Smooth sailing with the Schick B1. This razor is virtually silent when shearing whiskers, but it's certainly efficient. Love the comfortable feel. Excellent lather from The Fat and post-shave from the Fine American Blend. Great Friday shave. Enjoy your day!

 

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Cella
Jayaruh #47 Synthetic
Gem Flying Wing
Gem Blue Star CS SE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Cella Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #47 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Flying Wing Safety Razor with a Gem Blue Star CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Holiday Shaves

Omega s10005 Syn
Haslinger Honig
SchickI 1
Schick Twin -Japan
La Toja A/S lotion.

I used this combo every day on holiday, and found it perfect for getting close to the mirror, in a poorly lit Hotel Bathroom. Not being in a rush helped as all my Daily Shaves were smooth and comfortable, and pleasingly close all round. Nearly as smooth as the Dolphins we saw from a restaurant on a bridge spanning the Bosphorus, whilst having a meal on our last night.

 

The only E1, I found was just by looking closely at pictures of lots for sale...Thats how you find those. It's only when someone doesn't know what they have, that you can find those...Otherwise they get snatched up before we get the chance...They are easy to identify...Just keep watching those lots...

Yeah, I hear you. Its how I found my type F.......in a lot of junk razors for $7.

 

Saturday

Time to give the type A repeating razor a go. Its been awhile.

 

This is a banner-worthy pic. I love the warm lighting. The photo actually imparts a fragrance in and of itself. Very nicely done, @Hodge .

 

Thanks. The lamp on my night stand provides this lighting effect.

 

Wonderful photo, and what a BEAUTY of a razor!

 

Getting Better
Today's shave was better - more comfortable but with a couple weepers. I noticed that the razor left a gap in the lather on one side when I shaved so I replaced the blade. Tomorrow will tell if that was the right move. My skin feels a little tighter, if that makes any sense. Maybe it's time to use more balms.

Nice setup and photo, Paul! @PickledNorthern let me try his Supply for a while. It provided a close shave but I never had a shave with it without a weeper. It works really well for some folks but I found it wasn't for me.

Blade: GEM PTFE
Safety Razor: GEM Micromatic

Brush: JR #41 badger
Soap: Stirling Green
Post: Witch hazel, Country Club for Men Modern Fougere aftershave

Used a straight razor for my cheeks and a little bit of my neck and then finished off the rest with the Micromatic. Pretty good shave in the end. Enjoy your weekend!

 

Thanks Perry. I can’t imagine how high tech these razors must have been, when they were introduced.

Holidays are nice, but always good to be home especially to be shaving in your own Bathroom.
Had an extremely smooth and comfortable Shave without having to peer into a mirror, as the Hotel Bathroom was low lit.
