Injector & SE Party !!!

...another exploration to where no man has gone before.

 

wait a minute, i thought the order of Type C is:
C1 - open comb
C2 - closed comb
C3 - bar

paging @Billyfergie ?

Yeah - I went back and edited my reply after I posted to indicate the C2 is closed comb. The smooth guard or bar is what I have - a C3.

 

In Case Folks Haven't Guessed..I Like the Cobra..I Like it..I Like it..

Wednesday Shave

Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- GEM MicroMatic
Blade- GEM (1)
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel
Bombed Florida Water

Oh no! I've fallen down yet another rabbit hole. @Linuxguile generously sent me the MicroMatic when I expressed an interest in trying a SE. I bought some GEM blades today and gave it a go. First, this razor has a lot of weight to it but it feels balanced in my hand. I had a few days growth to get through. I lathered the Stirling, love this soap, and made my first pass WTG. Very audible with significant reduction. It took me a few swipes to find the angle but there was zero tugging, I made sure to follow my friend Rob's advice and used very little pressure. Second pass was XTG, despite the large head it's maneuverable and I had a DFS. My third pass was ATG with zero hesitation by the razor, very smooth through my trouble spots. I don't know if I've ever had a closer shave. There was a little feedback from the alum but it settled quickly. I finished with Thayers and bombed Florida Water. I'm going to pay extra attention to my pressure next time but I'm very happy with the results. Have a great day folks!

Aye..The OCMM is a Well Behaved Razor with a Feather Like Touch..Another Razor that Gets Crazy Aggressive Reviews but its Sorta Middle of the Road in My Books..Just takes a Bit of Skill to Use is All..The Clog Pruf is Basically the Same Razor with a Guard Bar is All..

Billy..

 

I'm very happy it worked well for you Ben. My first SE shave I had some irritation because I wasn't light enough on the pressure. The SE blades don't flex in anyway, very stiff efficient blades so it's easy to over do it.

 

She has knees?

 

Billy..

 

I can definitely see that happening as I used a light touch but still had some irritation. I'm hopeful that with a little practice I can avoid the irritation.

 

Thank you for the info on the Clog Pruf, I was wondering about that one. If this is mild I think I'm going to enjoy SE razors.

 

Ah, the rarest of the Cs as they say.

 

The OCMM is Not a Mild Razor its Just Not the Crazy Monster its been Made Out to Be in some Forums..The Ever Ready 1924 & 1914 are Far More Aggressive in My Books or Even a Brit Made 1912..

Billy..

 

Herman's Hermits perhaps?

 

Aye Tommy, you're a a true Apiologist.

(But something tells me it ain't the knees that attracts you to Bees!)

 

Another shot with the guard more visible.

 

Beauty!
