Injector & SE Party !!!

Load the New Blade on the No 1 Setting because there is No Tension on the Adjustment Spring there..

Billy..

 

Scored a GEM Automatic Stropper last week. It did not have a handle, and was very crusty. I cleaned it up over the weekend. I also made 2 strops for it. One I loaded with stropping paste red. The other no paste.

So today I made handle for it. As you all know it is a bastard thread. It happens to be the same thread for the ER 1914. The thread size works out to be 5/32 (.157) 24 TPI. I plan on getting an old ER Radio blade all tuned up for a shave tonight. I will use my ER 1914. Anyhow here are some pictures. I do not have a knurling tool so it is a smooth handle. I sandblasted it for some texture. I used O-1 steel to make it.

 

Good Job Tom!

 

Tonights shave.


Tonights setup

Razor: ER 1914
Blade: ER Radio blade
Brush: Jayaruh #57
Soap: Haslinger Sandalwood
AS: AV Classic Blue Ice

Tonight I used the 1914 with the Radio blade I stropped up on my GEM Automatic Stropper. The first 2 passes were pretty smooth. My third pass I could detect that it was not quite as sharp. It was not buggy at all, but I could feel it degrading. This was the cruddiest blade I have. I will give it some more love on the strops. Hopefully it will get better. I know I will need to learn the proper way to use the strop. That is part of the fun.

Anyhow got a DFS shave with it and no irritation. So I am a happy camper.

Have a great evening.

Tom

 

And I thought I over bid at a buck twenty five. These things are too expensive even for me.

 

Even used my sniper. Let us never speak of this again.....

 

Im glad I got mine for $7 before all you snipers started scouring the Bay.......

 

Very cool!

 

That is called salt in the wound, or should I say Alum?

 

Sorry, I get giddy every time I think of me getting an F type for cheap.....

 

I would too!

Good morning everyone. Today was my first shave with my new to me Schick Adjustable Injector which i purchased from @Troy M, thank you buddy! At the recommendation of my buddy Mike aka @Redfisher i set it to 9 and got to work. Beautiful efficient, smooth shave! I love this razor, very maneuverable and well balanced. Not a whisker left, dolphin smooth and the iced water does it again. Have a great shave and a great day folks.

 

I like my new Type F. I'm not only gives a great shave, it looks pretty doing it. It gave me a very nice two pass shave with almost no touch up for BBS.

 

Great job. If you were physically located closer I'd have the knurling placed on your handle via son's CC school shop. Looks good either way.
