Beautiful razor it looks so much like a Gem Jr. Bar from the back, I think @Flintstone65 has one but I don't remember what they look like from the front.

 

You really get into the weeds with your shaving.....LOL!!!

 

I guess I did. Or at least the shrubbery and rock garden.

A Stirling SEptember

Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Blade: Personna
Razor: PAL Injectomatic
Brush: JR #41 badger
Soap: Stirling Piacenza
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Piacenza aftershave

 

Sadly, the Superior has eluded me....I know a couple of folks with one, and I've come close to getting one a couple of times, but lost them at the last moment. It definitely has that Gem Lather Catcher shape, so I'm assuming it shaves similarly, which is to say, awesomely!

 

First shave with two new items with one being the The Personna SS PTFE (1) and my newly acquired Schick injector adjustable set on 4 and WOW does that blade make whiskers disappear.(Very similar to the GEM Personna SS PTFE) A lot less audio feed back while shaving from this razor compared to my Gems and Everready razors!


Razor: Chrome Schick injector adjustable M3
Blade: Personna injector SS PTFE (1) Very sharp and reasonable smooth just like a GEM Personna SS PTFE
Soap: Razorock Lavender
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Preshave: Wet the face + Aloe Vera gel
Post shave: Alum + cold water rinse
Post shave: Proraso green + witch hazel + Nivea balm
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + Alum block indicates minor irritation with one blemish weeper=

 

Colonial General Brass
Feather Pro Super

A face stroker of a shave.
Smooth Shaves to one and all.

 

Today's shave.

Whipped up a great lather with Mer shavings Mysore Sandlewood on my favorite two band badger. And switched back and forth between the Lewis custom straight razor and the Enders Speed with schick proline B20. Both razors performed very well, and the newly made JB weld tabs on the enders blade adapter worked flawlessly making blade loading much easier.
End results very close comfortable fun shave.

The Gem Jr. Parade is a great razor I love the handling of them, and the audio feedback.

 

got some friends back ..canadian schick e3 set and a british eveready 1924?

 

Two great razors Gary.
It's a 1912, my introduction to the wonderful world of SEs.

 

thank you Kevin,,1912 ,but was made in england in the 30s/40s..need to research more..

 

That is a excellent idea with the JB Weld keepers!

 

That's right Gary, afaik the only actual "1912" is the Damaskeene.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Schick I2v4, Schick Proline B-20, shave 3.


This one is the latter more common variant with the gold head and longer lever with writing on it which you also see on later injectors like the type K.
Differences shown here.

3 of the 4 variants done and surprisingly there is a big difference between this one and the first and second variants. This razor is just flat out more aggressive and has more blade feel at the same shallow angle than the first two variants using the same type of blade. The end result is they all give the same type of shave so they perform the same but don't have the same feel when using. The I2v1 and I2v2 are more akin if not identical to the J3 Golden 500. I'll do a back to back with the J3 and those variants later next week. Next up the I2v3 which is the one with the silver head for tomorrow's shave.
