7/29/2017 - The SE PARTY just never ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been using DE's for a while, but I will be doing SE's for a little while now (I Think? I change my mind a lot)

Used a LADY EverSharp Schick type K1 today and load a new Nos persona 74 blade - and I don't need to tell you how great these blades are. I am lucky to have around 25 or so of these blades...

Just an easy shave and NO ISSUES on the middle of my neck and chin (which are a challenge with DE blades) - 3 passes plus pick ups - This pink lady razor does treat me good - she is old but knows what she is doing ....

 

Excellent photograph.

Used a cream and rushed the Shave. Got what I deserved- a poor Shave

 

Love the razor Tom. I have one like it in a De-luxe set.

 

Love the handle on those. They look great!!

 

SE Sunday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Speick Shave Cream
Jayaruh #206
Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
CVS SE
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher and CVS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

It's been great chatting with you guys. I am going to ease out of TSD. Take care and keep the SE love going!!

 

Why?

Razor: Custom Schick G1 Injector
Blade: Schick Proline B (1)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
Cream: KMF fragrance-free
Post: Alum, WH

For various reasons, I opted for a before bed shave last night.

It's been an interesting week as I've gotten to try the Proline blade in a couple of different razors. I think I'm also coming to understand why I haven't been a big fan of the Schick G1 in the past. I finally came to realize that the G1 really requires more of a "ride the cap" technique than some other injectors. I tend to use an Injector like a Gem SE and lay it flat on my face with the blade cover and safety bar touching. A G1, however, has a smaller and closer safety bar and this (I think) creates too steep a blade angle. For me, the answer seems to be to try for a slightly shallower angle. This made for a more enjoyable shaving experience, but I think the Proline might be too much blade for this razor (at my current skill level). I ended up with a BBS with one weeper and some definite heat from the Alum.

 

My first Injector shave in a long while:
