SOS: June 2018

Schick G4 razor (again)
Personna 74 blade (again)
Williams SS (modern)
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne

Day 9 and all is well. This razor/blade combo is still top notch and a very fine shave resulted. Still have to work on lathering the William, got an adequate lather but could be a lot better. But all is well. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Wednesday - June 13, 2018 - SPEICKTACULAR Shave!​

• Back to the Personna Floating head II ( the 2 is the blue version that was advertised for using there Twin Blades, The orginal floating head was black and that came with a single Personna 74 - but the only difference is the colour - there exactly the same - I have both)
• The Modern Japan Schick Twin blade on 2nd shave - the blades can compete with the vintage twins - there friggin' awesome - shame the cost a lot - but for a "injector head" its worth it for the fix!
• I am just loving these Razor More and More - I am really dialed into the angle, its not a noisey shave - but boy it sure is efficient! at first you feel like you did not get a really close shave - than a hour later you start rubbing your face - and u cant stop~!!! Petting a dolphin is fun!!!!!!!
• SPEICK!!!!! cant say more than what has been said - this STICK might be the best shave stick - its so darn slick!! Also - the using the PRE ELECTRIC SHAVE is great for the warm weather when u don't want a oil - nice hidden secret for wet shaving - u dont need to use it for a electrical device - its great with COLD STEEL!
• SEMOGUE 610 Boar - no surprise - semogues rule the boar world.

Do i need to add the disclaimer of YMMV? Nah ! If you cant get a good shave with this gear - than you need to get a remington and plug in- haha

peace - JAMIE!!!!!!!

Razor: Personna Floating Head
Blade: Gillette Twinjector (4)
Pre Shave: DIY
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Red
AS: Mennen afta
Newspaper Date: July 7, 1945

Another great shave courtesy of Personna, Twinjector and Proraso. Two easy passes, WTG/ATG with clean ups after each pass, a cold water rinse and afta AS. Easy as falling off a log and so enjoyable. Smooth and close like it`s supposed to be. Happy Camper am I. God Bless.

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: The Wee Scot
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
Razor: Schick E2
Blade: Schick Proline B
Post: Cold water rinse, 4711 ASL

Not many razors can follow up a Cobra and a Streamline but the E2 is up to the job.
I think this great little razor may eclipse the Pal Injecto-matic.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Shave King Flubber Green 24mm Timberwolf synthetic brush, Sterling Iced Pineapple soap, Otto Deutsch Hans straight, Proraso green aftershave. Flubber is a portmanteau of "flying rubber," from the old Disney classic movie "The Absent Minded Professor."

Two passes and some touch up. Ok shave, but not outstanding. Still not happy with the Otto straight. It shaves, but should be sharper, like my other razors. Maybe it's a good candidate for my first try at honing?

Furbo soap is fresh, clean, slick, great post-shave, the aftershave is super nice, pretty strong and long lasting for those who enjoy that
