Injector & SE Party !!!

Great setup today! Love every element of your shave.

 

Thank you! It was a great shave!

 

I would, but alas I have already found a shy girl to call my own

 

Karl, have a great day buddy.

 

Schick G with Personna blade. Always a great BBS shave with this combo.

 

Late post today but it's Friday. TGIF What a great shave! Bombed the Tabac and put a fresh Dutch danglies blade in the Single Edge. This is one smooth blade, definitely a notch smoother than the Chick blade. Too bad they are so hard to get. The Sharp Dressed Man aftershave (with menthol) finished things up nicely. Have an outstanding weekend my friends!

 

Just suppose you wanted to maximize your profit by saying a product is made in the U.S.A. I will pay more for products made in North America. If this product came in three pieces and you made 2 pieces in China and the third piece in the U.S.A. you could advertise the product as made in the U.S.A. as the one that says U.S.A. is made in America.

 

I see only one product made of 3 pieces in your picture. Curious.

Can someone please help me with these blades. I got them when I purchased my PAL InjectoMatic and I can't find any info on them. They are from Precision E R Products, they say Made in Great Britain on the side and the blades are black. The seller was from England if that helps. Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

Today's Shave: Friday August 12, 2016

"Rex?" French hoe type razor of indeterminate origin
Rapide wedge blade (7 shaves since honing)
The Grooming Co. synthetic brush
Chiseled Face Groomatorium Trade Winds soap & aftershave

The latest addition to my stable of French hoes is somewhat of a mystery. It was sold to me as a "Rex" but the only place that name appears is on the blades. There are no markings of any sort on the razor itself or the case, although it's obviously a French hoe. The only French Rex in Waits is a lather catcher similar to a Kampf Bros. Star - nothing like this razor. Googling turned up a L' Essor that looks identical, so perhaps that's it.

The other unusual feature of this razor is that it features a smooth guard bar instead of the open comb usually found on this type of razor. This makes it shave unlike any other wedge blade razor in my collection. This is somewhat puzzling as the bar doesn't really come into play with the proper shallow blade angle, but it definitely can be felt.







The two "Rex" blades have some tiny nicks in the edge that should be easy to remove and I expect them to hone up nicely. I didn't have time to do that last night, so I borrowed a blade from one of my Rapides for this morning's shave. Despite the oddity of the guard bar this is a smooth aggressive shaver, and I enjoyed a close, near BBS irritation free shave.

Man Bob, you have all the pretty French Hoes

Excellent shave this morning with the PAL Adj. injector. This razor is perfect and wow do I love it! Wonderful, easy, slick, rich lather from the Speick shave cream. A joy to face lather. Three passes for a dolphin smooth end result. Have a great day friends.

 

So Bob, may I borrow it? I promise to give it back.... not!

 

August 13 SOTD:

Stirling Synthetic Brush
L'Occitane Cade SC
Gem Damaskeene
Stirling Unscented PSB
The Veg

 

Hey Norcal, the Damaskeene is one of my favorite razors. Unfortunately, I don't think I've used mine any more than 4 days in a row and I see you using yours much more often. How are you liking it?

 

The day is off to a good start. Enjoy your day everyone!

 

SOTD August 13, 2016

Blade: GEM Stainless
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Lather: Williams Mug Soap
Post: Witch hazel splash enhanced with Aqua Velva, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, XTG

Budget shave today. The Williams pulled the disappearing act a little bit but not overly bad. It's actually really slick soap. I got a nice shave with it today and look forward to tinkering with it for better stability in the lather.

Two passes and I'm pretty darn smooth and smelling classic from the Aqua Velva. Nice start to Saturday.

Have a great day!
