SOTD, Wed Jan 8th-2020, I made a blade carrier for my Enders Speed Shaver months ago and works great for the Obsolete propitiatory Enders blades with a Schick proline B-20 modern blade.

Wed., Jan. 8, 2020 Neutrogena Face Wash Tabac Shave Stick Razorock Monster One Blade Core w/Feather SE (1) 3 passes, touch up Alum Thayers Witch Hazel Tabac AS Balm Tabac After Shave Hi everyone! It's been a while. My wife gave me a One Blade Core for Christmas. Today was my 9th day shaving with it. I finally achieved a decent shave, comparable to what I get with my Gillette 5. So, this is the first single blade razor I've ever been able to shave with. Yay! (Some of you may remember my years of failed attempts to shave with DEs, SEs, and injectors. All attempts ended in visible stubble, very bad irritation, and/or blood, and much weeping and gnashing of teeth.) So...I'm back! Happy New Year, everyone!

Well I sat with a buddy before New Years trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with the Supply V2 and came to the conclusion it was how I was reloading the blade after cleaning it. So fresh blade in today and right as rain as they say! Proraso green is the smell of Italian Barbershops or at least that is what I am going with and my new bowl is bringing me so much joy I reached for the cream this morning. Little pre-shave joy too! Lovely two pass shave (WTG/ATG) and smooth as can be. The three dot plate is my fav of the three I have for this polished beauty. From now on I just take everything apart, clean and dry everything and just reassemble.
