SEptember 2016 - Discuss SE Safety Razors

Just stunning. I like the B&W version but the color photo here is over the top.

 

Tom, you did a great job on those scales. I also like that Drygulch strop.

 

The only thing that is wrong with the razor, is the tang is bent. So it does not close in the center. I may take it apart again and try to bend it straight. It will pop the wood off. So I will need to re-bond it.

You did a nice job restoring that thing

 

Been away from Home for a couple of Days. Not the best mirror set up in the hotel,so shaves not as good as usual. Used a PAL & Omega Synthetic brush as Travelling Companions, together with Speick Cream.

Dispensed with Alum Rub, Balm or Aftershave.To be honest not really needed.

Fat Friday! Fitting way to end a great month of shaves in SEptember with Mitchell's Wool Fat. The Schick L1 injector is providing great shaves. I will be using it for most of the month of October. Fine American Blend is a great scent. This has become my staple setup on Fridays and I really enjoy it.

SEptember has been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed following all of your shaves in this thread. The information is fun and enlightening, too.

Have a great day!

This Morning I had my best shave yet using a hollow ground wedge type SE blade. I made a very nice slick Stirling Lather and put the blade to my face. On the first stroke I knew! I may have been taking shots in the dark but even sometimes a blind man can hit a target! The blade wasn't quite as sharp as a commercial SE or DE blade but it did cut the whiskers nicely. There was no tugging on my cheeks or neck and only slight tugging on my mustache and chin where before it felt as though the hairs were being pulled out instead of cut. The Pal wasn't needed today as I finished all 3 passes with the Rapide. I finished with a DFS of my face and a CCS on my neck. I still have a blade in the mail on its way to Glen to see how much sharper I get it but I am very happy with my progress on this blade! I have much more work leaning to do in regards to honing bur I fell like I have hit a milestone! Have a great day my friends!

 

Excellent picture of fine shaving products.

 

Thanks amigo!
