Thursday’s Shave

 

Never have. It's hard to find and not cheap.

 

Thank you, Gary.

 

Thur., Jan. 30, 2020
Hot shower with Nivea Men Cool Bodywash
RazoRock 26mm Monster
C. O. Bigelow
Dollar Tree Bowl
Schick Type I1 (I think) w/Schick blade (2)
3 passes, touch up
Cold rinse
Alum
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Cold AS

Acceptable-minus shave. Only one weeper, but the alum bit, and the shave is not nearly close enough. Still, the best I've ever done with an injector.

RAZOR: Christopher Bradley (D-OC)
BLADE: Wizamet
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with a fresh PAA’s Preshave Cube Soap
BRUSH: WCS Best Badger
CREAM: Palmolive Classic
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite AS Splash

 

Will the Enders accept standard injector blades?

 

No they are proprietary blades with a "hook" on each end that holds it in place... But most of the guys who use them basically created a holder blade from a spent Enders blade that holds an injector or proline blade from behind. Right guys??

Thursday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Storybook Soapworks Elysium SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Proraso Red AS Splash
Music: Maria Farantouri “Xekina Mia Psaropoula”

There’s no way that I’m going to use this bloody 7 AM blade again - after this shave I said goodbye to it because it’s so rough that it gave me a lot of irritation and razor burn. On a good note the Elysium soap lathered so thick as well as rich with a very nice scent, and the Bull Dog moisturizer soothed my skin instantly, and the Proraso Red aftershave has such a beautiful scent. In spite of the blade being so crummy I still managed to get a pretty good shave.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
CTAPT Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #340
TAR by Tom
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Cella ASB

This is my first shave with Tom's Adjustable Razor (TAR) by Tom White. I am lucky enough to be one of the first to get to try it out. Yep, this is a heavyweight. I kept thinking this is Tom's Fatboy Adjustable. Spoiler alert, it was a great shave.

The CTAPT Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #340 badger brush. Two passes (on 1) and touch ups with the TAR by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Simpsons Eagle 3 - Signature Soaps Eboracum - Schick J1/Proline B - Elite Gentleman EDT

3 passes for a super finish

 

They will accept regular injector blades but you might have to shorten the ends a little with a Dremmel grinding stone because the fit is tight even with a B-20 that is .005 thousands of a inch shorter in width. You could PM @Jayaruh who has been a inspiration for me to make a Enders blade carrier + I bought some b-20 Schick proline blades for my injectors that I have to use up. (mine might look a little different then his)
I think Jim and a few others were trying to make a plastic carrier version at one time with @riverrun who is very good with 3D printing and programming & razor historian .

You could also ask @jmudrick who has been playing around with the Enders speed razor & Enders speed shaver a lot longer than myself who also got myself interested
Have some great shaves!
