A Remembrance Shave this morning. Today would have been my Dad's 73rd birthday, but unfortunately we lost him just over a week ago. Earlier in the year I commissioned a custom brush for him from Rodney Neep.
I shaved with it this morning, using his shaving soap too. Cathartic and poignant describes the experience. Anyway for the record.
Also a first outing for the Heljestrand. A fine tool.
Happy Sunday to you all

Sunday 19th May 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Adjustable
Blade: Gillette Platinum Plus
Brush: Vulfix 404 Mixed
Soap: Tabac stick grated into a container
Aftershave:Astral Cream (light)
Took delivery yesterday of this Schick Injector which is NOS.
I am very pleased with it. It is a little heavier than my other Schick's, I seemed to need to set it on a fairly high setting for it to cut well, exactly as I had to do with the PAL Adjustable, I shaved with it on six but I suspect fully open on eight might be better. It certainly appears to be a kind forgiving and easy to use razor especially with these excellent blades that Martin sent me.
Does anybody know which model it is? It has M41 stamped on the head/frame and it does not have the blade protection system for travelling; M1 M2 or M3 ?
Regards
Dick.

Very relevant and poignant, a wonderful razor and I love the farthing in the bottom of the brush, although I am ten years younger than your late Father I can remember spending them in the sweet shop to buy Fruit Salad and Black Jack chews which cost a farthing each!

Dick.

Hey buddy what's doin,
Good to hear this set up fits you better than the L/Twinjector combo that was recently so gruesome to read about. That shave almost made me cry....heh. That's a real purty razor you got there.
Man, I can't imagine using those blades set on #6 as you liked and it'll probably be fine opened up all the way. My usual setting for blades is #4, but for those Gillettes I dial the Schick down to three.
Anyway, congrats on the handy addition to your shaving arsenal.
Martin
