Schick B/Proline

 

Awesome! I had my Schick Type C waiting to shave after work! I love the repeaters... I had an absolutely pristine cased Type B that I couldn't resist the price to sell... I still have my Type C though.

January - Shavettes and Jeeves!

January 11 - Blade Trials

Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (6)
Blade - (2)
Soap - Arko
Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
Post - Alum

Well, the snow arrived earlier today and shut pretty much everything down in the STL area. Yeah, they're wimpy like that at times. We have probably 5 or 6 inches right now where we live and we closed the store at 4 today. I live about 3.5 miles from there and it only took me about an hour to get home. It really wasn't ALL that bad, just a bunch of idiots with rear wheel drives clogging up the inclines and hills out there. I drive a front wheel drive CX-5 with a stick - I can go anywhere. My wife was out earlier in her AWD CX-5 and had fun running around everyone else. So we're safely in watching it snow and seeing what the total is. I'm sure the Canadians will put us to shame with our little 7-11 inches total here.

Second shave on the Super Gillette Blue Blade from China. Same exact setup except the Slim is at "normal" mode on 6 and I switched synthetic Stirling brushes. Three full passes, the baby is in the house, everything was smooth and the alum was 99.9% silent. Just one spot on my neck that twinged a bit. No worries at all. The blade seems to be keeping up nicely with the added gap and the second shave on it. We'll open the Slim up to 9 tomorrow and give it the final run through blade trial protocol. I'm thinking this is a pretty nice blade and if it holds up will match up well with the other Chinese Gillettes out there. As I've noticed with earlier trials, a blade made in China by a Chinese company is something to be feared and loathed. A Gillette or Schick blade made in a plant in China seems to hold the quality we expect.

Here's to a great Saturday and weekend for everyone!
