Razor: Mongoose B2 w/Custom handle Blade: Captain Titan Mild Brush: El Druida Cocobolo 2 Band Soap: CRSW Jeff's Soap A/S: Myrsol F/Extra Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood of Central American trees belonging to the to the genus Dalbergia . Only the heartwood is used; this is typically orange or reddish-brown in color, often with a figuring of darker irregular traces weaving through the wood. The Mongoose handle was made by a machinist who is a prototype machinist so more about accuracy than finish, which is why I hand polished them so they aren't perfect. The heavy one (SS) is modelled on the Futur, the idea being to add mass to the end of the handle to make it less head-heavy. The aluminum one was my design to see if I could make a lighter razor without making it hard to control hence the greater diameter. Purchased from Paul at ATG from England. A great 2 passes with a clean up and I'm ready to go, however, I forgot where I have to go.

SEptember 25, 2018 Second straight day with an injector and this time with a Schick G. I’ve had this razor for some time as it was pif’ed to me from a fellow wet shaver and good friend of mine on another forum. Issue was after 7-8 shaves, I just couldn’t get a good shave from it. Decent results, but not something that I was satisfied with. As you know, along came the Schick Proline-B blade and it has changed things for the better. Finally, a good shave from one of these old school injectors as I was starting to lose hope. It worked great in the Supply yesterday and just as good if not better today with the G. And to celebrate and keeping with the leather theme, I busted out some vintage English Leather Aftershave & Cologne. Why, you ask? Because we’re Men, that’s why. And the Misses likes it because it also reminds her of her father. Well, truthfully let me clarify this here as she states she can put up with the scent, doesn’t mean she necessarily likes it. I didn’t push my luck here Gentlemen, very light splashes of each and I was very generous with the Thayers....

Williams' Wednesday's Shave Cold Water Wash Williams Mug Soap Jayaruh #319 Bunny V3 Injector Schick Proline B20 Blade CWR Mennen Skin Bracer My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #319 brush. I did two passes with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with a Schick Proline B20 Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
It's been a while since I've seen the Bunny on TSD. Thanks for bringing it out and putting to use, Jim!
