August 23

Razor - Type M Schick Injector (Wide Open)
Blade - (??)
Soap - Soap Commander Fortitude
Brush - Semogue 620
Post - Alum

For a few days I thought I wouldn't get the Schick worked into Adjustable August due to the Personna 74 lasting nearly forever. But, with it out of the picture now I switched to the Schick. I discovered, much to my chagrin, that I have no new blades for the injectors. Me. The Blade Czar. Of the Blade Cartel. Out of a blade. I hang my head in shame and can only beg forgiveness based on the fact I rarely use the injectors in spite of liking them very much. I won't let it happen again. Excuse me while I slip over and order some.

Ok. That will fix that problem in a couple of days. In the meantime I still have a blade in the razor from the last time I used it and I only used it 2 or 3 times. It's an injector. It's fine. Looks good, gave it an alcohol soak and went to work.

I chose Soap Commander Fortitude and decided to go old school with a boar brush. Since the Type M was the first razor I ever used as a much younger version of myself a more vintage shave seems appropriate. Two passes, touch ups including some Schick slides and all is well with a very nice BBS. Alum was quiet and all that is left is to sit back and wait for blades. Life is good.

thank you...i like the tub of soap too but the cream is great..

 

SEptember is approaching and I got the itch. I took a break from the straights for a wonderful shave with the Israeli knock off of the Personna Floating head. Wonderful.

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Occams Crushed Lime Pre Shave Soap
Razor: Icon X3 head, Tech Handle
Blade: Gillette Rubie (1st shave)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap: Ellegant Rose- Pumpkin Spice
Post: MT Red Mandarin Menthol salve


Supurb shave early this morning. Finally brought some better gear to my GF house. The Icon X3 is smooth and mild yet efficent and forgiving. Was a bit nervous about the Pumpkin Spice scent irritating my skin, but much like the Woodland Spice, the cinamon was not a problem whatsoever. Ellegant Rose produces a top tier lather, slickness, post shave, cushion, etc have made this one of the top soaps in my den. The fact that they are made in my home state of Michigan is just the cherry on top IMO. Finished off with MT salve which is one i dont use often since it is the consistancy of lip balm and a bit different. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!
