    It’s Hydro-Magic May!
    I’ll spend the month with my three Schick Eversharp razors that sport the Hydro-Magic shaving/cleansing head - Types I2, J3, K1

    We interrupt our regularly scheduled program….:eek:

    Leaving on a two-week business / pleasure trip on Saturday night. I plan to take two razors that I consider candidates to become my travel razor the Schicks C1 and H2!

    But I wanted to try my H2 with a Personna blade before I leave so here goes.

    Hot Shower
    Razor: 1947-1953 (Schick) Eversharp H2
    Blade: Personna (1)
    Soap: Route 66 - Sweeney Todd
    Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic
    TSD Witch Hazel
    AS: Myrsol Limon

    05-12-16.JPG

    Two-pass shave (XTG, ATG)

    Wow, the C1 Repeater will face a strong challenge from the H2. An excellent shave!

    You’d have to ask the experts about what makes this razor so good, but from my perspective - handling - along the same lines of the difference between a standard injector handle (E, G types) vs the long handles (J, K types).

    Going even shorter than the E/Gs with the H, your hands are just about at razor head distance from your face and finger tips almost at the cutting surface. Not only does the handling become superior but your sense of touch through your hand, becomes an equal shave component with sight and sound.

    Actually the sound was much louder than I remember, but this was my first time with a Personna blade. I may try a Plus Platinum tomorrow in search of a smoother feel and sound.

    Cheers!

    I do love me some chaos theory. Out of chaos....order....then back to chaos......and order. Or massive bleeding. Whichever.

    Yeah I'm thinking the dog may be an issue. At least she didn't chew on a tuck of sharp blades that could actually do damage.

    Perfect for the man who wants to shave and do a deep cleansing at the same time.

    Well I want to give Clint64 a prop for a gift I just got from him. Five wonderful soaps to try, two bushes, some blades and a soap commander after shave balm sample. Thanks so much, can't wait to get my shave on tonight!:wave:
