Well folks, I have come to a realization. Click HERE to read about it! This thread is so interesting and informative. I appreciate all the advice and help shown to me here as I've explored injectors and SE razors the past month and a half.

Blade: GEM Stainless
Razor: GEM MMOC
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso White
Post: Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, minor touch-up

No pic due to vacation. Repeat shave from yesterday. The GEM MMOC is an efficient razor. You have to go easy with that one. One pass with minor touch-up is just fine for a road shave.

Proraso White did a magnificent job yet again. All in all a nice shave!

Good morning friends. Exceptional shave with the G-Bar this morning. Smooth easy three passes leaving me smooth as silk and whisker free. Tabac shave stick provides stellar performance for my taste in a shave soap and the closest in consistency that I have found to Haslinger. These are the type of soaps I like providing excellent cushion, glide and protection for an irritation free shave. Like a BOSS people...like a BOSS. Have a great weekend guys.

 

Nice picture Roby.

 

Thank you Doug, have a great weekend buddy!

 

You enjoy your weekend also Roby.

 

Beauty shot. The handles match.

 

Thanks Doug...I achieved the look I was going for on this vintage pairing.

 

That you did.

 

Very nice!

 

The Dogs Danglies have arrived. What's the odds I'll get addicted?

 

The M2 is quite aggressive and I need to remember not to rush when using. A BBS today, but not without 2 tiny weepers that the cold water rinse took care of. The Clubman had a little more bite than usual. Have a blessed day everyone.

Focusing on my Schick Type L (L1 and L7) this month using a variety of blades.

Four shaves with the L and the Fergiefeather gave great shaves and are currently my favorite. One more blade contender.

I’ve waited six months to try the NOS Twin blade in a Schick razor, as I’ve marched through an alphabetic focus on each of my Schick injector blades. I’m finally at the point in the alphabet where I have razors that they will fit in.



1-day growth, 2-pass shave - XTG, ATG

Wonderfully smooth shave. My initial reaction is that the closeness is just on par with the Feather, however the handling and smoothness appears to be better with the Twin. I was on edge a bit as I shaved my problem area (chin) with the Feather, not so much with th Twin.

A few more shaves with it will allow a final assessment.

Cheers!

Friday's

I really liked the twin blades @twhite gave me. Thanks Tom, very smooth.

 

Great looking brush Jim.

Schick G1 Injector with Chick blade
Ginger's Garden Salty Mariner shave soap
Semogue 1520 boar brush
Witch hazel splash, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG

Nice, efficient one pass shave with the G1. Great razor and terrific products. Have a great night!

 

Funny you should post this....What, are you psychic ?

After that shave, where my C3 got disqualified....I took out the screws and unjammed it...reassembled her and shined her up real pretty and put back in the medicine cabinet...

Today I decided as I approached my sink that an immediate rematch was in order....Only to avoid any issues and keep this about "The Shave". I slipped a new blade in by hand...}8^))

C3 my left side, her Majesty the Hussy, my right....
First WTG pass, maybe the 'H' side was a tad closer on my moustace area,but my jaw line was closer on the C3 side....call it a draw..
After second pass, C3 side was BBS, except needing touch up below jaw line...H side needed another pass....

This day, the C3 was a clear winner, but either one was fantastic!

I did a full touch up pass with the Schick Simplified Automatic C3 and all was right with the World...
After the Hussy's technical victory my wife gave the shave a 4.8/5...After todays, she said, this might be the first 5/5

Seems the C3 is King and The H is her Majesty the Hussy....
Of course I had been using the C3 like every day for a week or so...might have given it an advantage....But I think this trend is gonna continue....
I love the H and it does shave closer that just about anything I own....But I still back up my statement...Nothing I have shaves better than my C3....

Good morning friends. First shave with the Pal Adj. I love this razor! It's big and sturdy, and is my biggest injector of all. The first thing that struck me is how smooth it shaves, it feels like your whiskers are just disappearing and it's extremely efficient as well. There is no need to go above the middle setting which is what my buddy @Billyfergie suggested but of course I'm dialing it up to full throttle for my next shave. :: I like it better than my Schick adjustable. Every injector fan should have one. I chose La Toja today for it's excellent protective cushion and glide and it worked out beautifully for a three pass easy dolphin smooth finish. Riding that train people...riding it.....
