Injector & SE Party !!!

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon
Jayaruh #331 Boar
Enders Speed Shaver
Enders Speed Blade
CWR
Pinaud Vanilla

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #331 Boar brush. I did two passes with the Enders Speed Shaver razor with an Enders Speed Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Starting down the SE path with a bang! Micromatic Open Combs are efficient razors. Light, light touch. I had one a couple of years ago and would always get weepers and decided to sell it. Then I revisited it after @Linuxguile surprised me with a very kind gift of another MMOC. Much better results this time around. I ought to get it back out soon.

 

Thank you! I am going to run with this razor for a bit and see how she goes.

Friday’s Shave

 

FRIDAY SHAVE

Razors: Clark’s Silver King CS Improved King
Blade: Gem CS (1)
Brush: TOST LE
Soap: Palmolive
AS: Florida Water

Did a head to head. Left side Silver King, Right side Improved King

Long story short. Virtually the same results. The Improved had a bit more tooth. Upon inspection there might be a slight tweak to the combs. Easily fixed but totally unnecessary.

These razors are winners in my book. The Improved is actually a bit improved on the gold downs. 4 vs 2. Both are a dream to load.

Cyril Salter / Maseto ED 2Band
Cyril Salter Solid Soap
Schick N3
Schick Twin - Japan [ 11 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

Provided that you take your time the N3 fitted with a Twin Blade delivers an exceptionally good trouble free Shave. This and the Schick O clone are really good for rather relaxed weekend Shaves.

This Razor may well be a modern reproduction but it is solidly built , some say as good as an original which are like hens teeth. It is a great Razor for a relaxed weekend Shave, and when used with a fresh blade like today-provides an ultra smooth Shave, with a finish that equals any that I get with any Vintage/ Modern SE, a real "Face Stroker".

Happy Easter!

 

First foray into Autostrop razors. I had to shave twice today. First shave was with a VC4 and vintage Valet blade. The blade was no good and so was the shave. I might as well have not shaved today and it would have been a closer shave. I don't think any of the other ones I have are any better either. The ones with the pins on them are getting sidelined until I get in the Feather blades I ordered for these.

Next shave was with a VC1 and modified gem carbon steel blade. Much better. Not the closest shave I've gotten but if this is any indication this razor is going to be in regular rotation with this blade. Lot of blade feel and audible feedback but an overall mild shave with no nicks or cuts.
