Injector & SE Party !!!

Foreign eBay sites can be a trove of great razors. I forget which one the Eddison came from. The Personna Floating Heads used to come up on the US eBay a few times a year but I haven’t seen one in a while. Must be time for some more to come out from hiding.

 

Mark.

I guess I should have said, it reads like a good shave.

 

Just razzing you and @polishaver a bit

 

Razzing is a good thing.

 

Hey Doug, someone told me that YOU might be able to tell me where to find a synthetic horse hair knot. Any ideas where I can find one?

 

Here you go.

Keep in mind it is a 22 mm knot. It is an excellent synthetic knot. IMHO.

In this mug, produced in late 1950's to 1960, the words "Shaving Mug" were printed in blue beneath the image of the ship. The ship appears opposite the handle. The bottom is marked "Early American Old Spice" in a top arc with "Shulton Inc., Clifton, N.J." in a bottom arc. The arcs are separated with a single star on each side.

This mug was sold from 1964 until 1978. The ship name appears opposite the handle, with Ship Grand Turk on each side.

SOTD 9.27.2017

Pre-shave: hot shower
Soap: Williams
Razor: Vintage PAL adjustable injector
Blade: Chinese made Schick (1)
Brush: Marvy (not pictured)
Post-shave: Thayer's Lavender WH, Gillette Sensitive Skin AS Gel, Gillette Cool Wave AS Splash

I noticed several people shaving with Williams today so I opted to do the same. I love that this soap is easily worked into a lather and I was able to paint a nice, comfortable layer of Williams on my face within a couple of minutes. Today, I wanted to try out my newly acquired PAL adjustable injector razor. I had never used one before and I started out on the "L" setting. I've heard this razor takes some getting used to and I believe it. While it seemed easy on the first pass I noticed I still had stubble on my jawline where I know I had shaved over. I just shrugged my shoulders and carried on. I used the L setting on the left side of my face, and being the curious person I am, I dialed the setting to "3" for the right side. I lathered up again and for the 2nd pass I dialed it to "H" for the heck of it. Usually I have to do a 3rd pass or clean-up pass on my neck and it was no different today. I managed to nick myself on the left side of my neck (I'm right-handed), almost in the same spot as yesterday. My fault. I get carried away trying to get as close a shave as I can on the neck. I really like the razor, but I'll have to do additional shaves on it to find that sweet angle for it. Otherwise, another day and another fine shave.

Happy shaves, everyone!
