Schick Hydro Magic I 2 with (S)chick blade, shave 9.


After make a few observations using the E2 I made some adjustments on the technique. First I tried to maintain an angle which gave the same type of brushing your teeth crunching sounding feedback which for the most part I was successful doing on all the passes. This also happens to be the least shallow angle I'ved used on this razor. Next I changed up my grip holding the razor towards the back of the handle, enough that I had control of the razor but not over holding it and trying to let it do the majority of the work and also in a way that I didn't inadvertently push on it with the palm of my hand. End result best shave I've had with any injector thus far. With more practice this injector and the E2 will probably over take my other SE razors for best performing shavers. I only have about 14 shaves in on injectors thus far but these are really quite intuitive and easy razors to dial in once you get used to them.

A really nice start to a new Razor rotation, probably one of the best ever Shaves I have had with the General since matching it up with the Claymore handle. Now really feels good in the hand and is extremely manoeuvrable and a lovely positive blade feel.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
Valet VC4
Valet AutoStrop (27)
Enders Speed Shaver
Personna Injector
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did one pass with the Valet VC4 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade with poor results. I switched over to my Enders Speed Shaver with a Personna blade and ended with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The AutoStrop Challenge has ended for me with 27 shaves; the last two of which needed an assist. I will be continuing with the Enders for the next three shaves. The AutoStrop Challenge was fun and interesting, but it was beginning to get old. I am glad to finish the challenge. Moving on...

A real face stroker of a shave.
Happy Shaving one and all.

I think that finally I have got to grips with the King Cobra, which I find be quite aggressive. The only area where I felt
quite vulnerable was when working around the tip of my chin. This was probably the best Shave to date with the KC, as the quality of the finished Shave in all areas was Top Notch.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Tom's 3D Printed Brush
Enders Speed Shaver
Schick Proline
CWR
Aqua Velva Blue Ice AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes with the Enders Speed Shaver razor with a Schick Proline SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Blue Ice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I must say, this may be my new favorite razor/blade combo. This was a most excellent shaving experience.

The Figaro croap isn't bad but considering how strongly it smells of almonds (synthetic?), the post shave isn't great.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Great midweek shave!
Now, go out and have a great day!
