Injector & SE Party !!!

RazoRock Syn 24mm
Faena Sandalwood
ER 1914
Gem S/S [ 6 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

A bit of a rush today , and with the blade on 6 the Shave was rather raspy, but actually got a trouble free Shave with a very good all round finish.

 

very cool Andrew..

 

fantastic shave Ron.love proraso red..

 

Schick Type A, Schick blade, shave 5


This shave was with a Chinese Schick blade. Confirmed 2 things first my blade sharpness test isn't that good and I need to test blades via a full shave and not a single pass or hair in the cream test. Secondly this razor still doesn't get me a BBS finish though this shave was even closer than the vintage Schick blade but that was due to me using what I will call Gillette Blue Tip amount of the pressure to get a close shave. The shave should have been a bloodbath with the amount of pressure I put on the blade when shaving but it wasn't so that tells me everything I need to know about this razor. It is a mild razor simple as that, maybe sticking a pin or something equivalent behind the blade to give it more exposure might improve the shave.

 

Thanks Gary!

Williams Wednesday-13th Nov.

Simpson Chubby 1/ Maggards Finest 2band
Williams Mug soap
Gem Micromatic [ Bullet Tip ]
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

I have not used this the latest Micromatic enough, as it was hidden away with my 1912 hoard.I find that while it may be not so aggressive it does provide a very smooth Shave, which allows you to do the polishing up work needed to get a good close all round finish, without any problems arising. I will be including this in my regular rotation of ER/Gems.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #313
Gem Heavy Flat Top
CVS CS SE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Gem Heavy Flat Top razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you, sir!

 

cool schick Perry,fine blue shave..

 

Thanks, Gary!

Not a BBS shave but the closest shave I get from any magazine razor I've used so far. Up tomorrow a B2.
