Vintage Ever-Ready C40 VanWilder SS Sledgeslant Black 7 O'clock (1) AV Ice Blue Just kind of a "meh" shave today. Not that it was bad or uncomfortable, just very routine. I got about 80% of my face BBS and only missed noticeably on my left neck and right jawline. The black ninjas are nice on the WTG pass so far but ATG was a little rougher. Still, not bad, but I do have a weeper on my 'stache and did notice it wasn't buttery like a Voshkod. Could be the slant too, it has been about a month since I last used it. 3 out of 5 blades.
Sundays' Shave: Gillette Aristocrat Gillette SuperThin Semogue 830 Arko SS WH Clubman Special Reserve Nivea Cool Kick AS
Sunday! Cool Shower Green Marvy Mug Omega Pro Boar AOS Lavender SC Schick Injector G - Turquoise EMS (2) Cool Water Rinse Hyatt Portico Lavender & Citrus Body Lotion Nice cooling shower and shave after a day of reading and laundry. Definitely a fantastic shave for the last day of Injector Week.
WOW!! Injector Week was GREAT...You All are the BEST...Todays shave was my best of the week...and only one pass with a little skin streching....Now 12 hours later still remarkably close...Injectors really excell at certain things...One is exceptional 1st passes...and another is when you are shaving longer hair, like a beard or moustace for instance...or I would have to recommend a Schick for the Bicycle Racers leg shaving routine, especially the first shave...A Schick will take it off in one pass...
