Injector & SE Party !!!

That one in the middle in the trio pic...and the last solo pic is a mid-term model E2. I'm a big fan of all the E2s!! They were all great shavers and easy on the eyes. These E2's with the pinned springs are supposed to be less aggressive...I don't know....I still need to be carefull with them...The one I have is Plenty Aggressive....But also veddy smooth at the sametime!!

That one in the middle in the trio pic...and the last solo pic is a mid-term model E2. Those had a pinned spring, but the top of the spring was still offset like the early spring that swung to the left to open...The later E2's had a pinned spring that looked similar to your Canadian, and still had the ears on the spring loop. I'm a big fan of all the E2s!! They were all great shavers and easy on the eyes. They say that the later ones with the pinned springs are supposed to have become less aggressive with each change...I don't know....I still need to be carefull with them...The one I have is Plenty Aggressive....But also veddy smooth at the sametime!!

Wednesday

My Canadian E2 (nickel plated,black handle) is my favorite E type. Its extremely efficient, maybe a bit aggressive but a wonderful shaver if handled properly. Ive currently got it loaded with a Dutch Schick blade.

 

It seems some people spend all their time reinventing the wheel.

 

The little aggressive E2s rock.

 

Thur 21st Feb

Jayaruh No 67 Syn.
P & B Spitfire
ATT SE1 & Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 11 ]
P & B Spitfire A/S Splash

Everyone one has a favourite which works for them. The ATT SE1 / Proline seems to suit my beard , as even with the blade on its 11th outing, the Shave was not only smooth and comfortable but the all round finish is top notch.

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: Schick B1 repeated
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street cream
Post: Witch hazel, Nivea Deep Comforting aftershave

Nice shave with the B1 this morning. Wonderful deco design. Really fun to use something almost 100 years old and have it still be better than many modern tools. Have a great day!

 

Tabac Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #339 Boar
Damaskeene OC
Gem Glue Star SE
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #339 Boar brush. I did two passes with the Damaskeene OC razor with a Gem Glue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
Timeless Razors Lathering Bowl
Williams Mug Soap
CVS SE Blade-Modified
VC1 Valet Auto Strop
Nivea Aftershave Balm
Pinuad Clubman Classic

I had a problem yesterday when I modified the blade to fit the Valet. While I was sitting at my desk and operating the lever to bring the safety guard up one of the pins fell out and then the other one fell out as well. I Loctited the pins back in and let the Loctite dry. This fix seems to be working. Glad this happened at my desk and not the bathroom sink.

First shave with the Auto Strop and it was not a bad shave. Very little alum burn, more of warm sensation than a burn. I would not make the Valet an everyday shaver but I will keep it in the rotation. When rinsing and moving the razor around I get a rattling sound at times and I think that is in the rollers. I just do not like my razors to rattle. The Valet is a great shaver though.

The Williams performed well and is a great soap.

Finished up with some Nivea and Clubman classic.

Y'all take care and have a great Thursday!

I had a walk at lunchtime yesterday and Spring was most definitely in the air. Looking outside at the foggy conditions this morning.......I am not so sure. Went for a light citrus themed shave anyway.
A lovely shave in 3 passes

 

Fri 22nd Feb

RazoRock Syn. 24mm
P & B Citra Royale
ATT SE1 /Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 12 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

A back to back Shave with the ATT SE1. Why ? 1. Because I can and get trouble free Shaves. 2. Interested to see how the Blade performed on 12th outing.
Again a trouble free Shave, quite astounding quality of Shave from this Razor/Blade combo considering the blade usage. Must see how it fares with another blade.
