Thanks to the lending pool and Mr Bowles I've finally got to try one of those new fangled Schick injector razors.
Schick adjustable,
MWF...The bomb
Cadman Wigan Casino brush.

I'm smoother than the Proffessor of smoothness at Smoothington University Smoothtown on the sea.

There is a rash of fabulous pictures tonight, yours is no exception.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:


vintage 1964 rebranded Macys flopmeister
1970 Super Adjustable/Schick Plus/Super Platinum NOS 1969
XPEC original original SC
no aftershave needed
Givenchy 'Xeryus' EdT old juice

Last 4 days this long handled beauty has called to me. Shaves well and dialed down low is about as drama free as a cartridge but more fun and a smoother result. Fourth shave on this old blade and still fine.

I gotta say the XPEC is pretty darn good, although the scent took a while to make it's addictive property known. The bottom of my tub is visible in most places so maybe 15 shaves worth left. Thankfully there's more in the arsenal, otherwise I would be despondent....heh.

BBS results,

Martin

Thanks. I shave with each razor for a month. Next month though it'll probably be between my 1912 and Valet VC1 Auto Strop

Great pic, great kit.

Thank you. I'm not sold yet on the Pecksniff's soaps. It took a lot of work to build reasonable lather this morning.

Hi there, did you buy your haslinger in the tub or did you put in there yourself?

The soap was wrapped in plastic - I put it inthe tub myself ...
