Saturday:

Schick Injector 'Golden 500'
NOS Injector blades (Made in Holland)
BS Maca Root + Palmolive ss
Muhle pure badger
Bulldog asb
Acqua di Parma colonia

After yesterday's outstanding first outing with the Injector, I repeated the same process today to check it wasn't just a fluke. Effortlessly clean results again prove that it was certainly no fluke :D . I am now intrigued by SEs, and maybe tomorrow I will try the Ever Ready 1912...

Stunning day today, my first stress and nick free three pass run with a straight. Words cannot describe my elation, although "well chuffed" comes pretty close.

Saturday:

Nice and easy, mug of beer on the go, music on the laptop (Sigur Ros, Acker Bilk, Muse and The Smiths). No rush.

Long, long hot shower and then T+H pre shave oil
T+H luxury hard soap
Edwin Jagger black badger
Edwin Jagger DE89, Gillette Superthin (1)
Cold rinse, alum
Caldey Island lavender aftershave

Super smooth, super comfortable. The lavender of Caldey Island smells lovely.

 
Not much time for photos lately... but here's they come, now, a little late, and I'm posting here, since the other topic is now closed.

Hello, PompeyBill! Thank you for your appreciation!

These containers are just "Grundtal" boxes from IKEA. You can see them here. They are quite good, they are made of stainless steel and with transparent lids (the lids are made of stainless steel and polycarbonate).

The trick is to print an image of the soap (in this case, Cella) and put the printed image inside the lid, facing out.

Here's another example of mine (Valobra):

Hope you like them! :)
