What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I'm guessing that as well but it has been hard to find any good information about this razor so far.

 

My Omega 10066 from Bullgoose shipped today.


If you haven't checked out their site yet all their Omega brushes are still at 50% off with code OMEGA at checkout.

 

That's what I like about this Forum....The DEs and SEs are all one Section....Every other forum I've seen are separate and wee cliques develop....Everybody mucks in and shares Intel here....
Brilliant...

I like that too =)

 

After backing the Single Edge injector yesterday, I decided to I didn't want to wait until next March to start playing with injectors... so I found a Schick Model I and Model J, together as a lot for $13 shipped on ebay. No pictures of the undersides of either razor, hopefully they're in good working order. Expecting to put in a little time getting them cleaned up.



Picked up a 20-pack of the Personna blades as well.

 

Most of my Schick Collection Dates back to the early B Type Repeaters, Type D, Type F, through the E & G Types......I have a more Modern Schick Adjustable, but I recently acquired a Couple of Ladies Eversharp injectors sporting the Hydro Magic heads which is basically a Type J that opens for cleaning.....I must say that I am seriously impressed with the Hydro Magic......I just love shaving with it..

These Type J & the Type I are on the Milder Side for sure than the earlier ones....The Heads have a steeper angle of attack..... They have a larger surface of the Head Flat against the Face which makes them easier to use than the earlier models...

That's the key to shaving with a Schick Injector.....Totally Flat Against the Face...Some folks try too hard with them and end up with a bad shave because they do not trust the simplicity of shaving Totally "Flat Against the Face" and nothing else.....That said....You can get away with using a fair bit of pressure with these later models....The Schick instructions advice this and it was a selling point.....That is just down to trial & error.....These are super efficient injectors....
Enjoy.....

I am waiting on one of my Holy Grail razors. I have been trying to get one for awhile but kept getting outbid. I finally sniped one that was poorly listed as part of a lot. My "Pat Apl'd For" Gillette Double Ring is in transit

 

Congrats on that score - and I bet you're happy it didn't come up for sale a couple of weeks ago

Seeing the impact Gillette had on the wetshaving world it should be a pretty amazing feeling to shave with one of the first razors they ever made....

 

I have a 1918 old style from ww1, oc, and its a great shave and an aggressive razor due to the different thickness of the original Blades vs today's Blades, but still a great shave

 

I would have dove off the NBJ wagon for this

I'm actually not waiting on shave products...??? I am waiting on a Schaeffer fountain pen, med nib ss to come in, and a custom made rosewood and gold fountain pen.

 

I googled that schaeffer fountain pen, they look amazing. I bought a 5$ fountain pen, i have wanted one a while. Im gonna see what I think about them. Maybe buy a more expensive one later on

 

What do you mean?

 

Prelude 340-0

 

I have a 1918 oc ww1 Gillette. I love it. A bit aggressive

 

I have a 1918 as well and use it regularly. You are correct. They are a great shave.
