SOTD : Saturday 21th May - Friday 27th May 2022.


Thanks for providing the financial details of the takeover, I had no idea, it's like reading the history of Manchester United all over again. How the football authorities allow these takeovers take place is simply suspicious to me.
In the case of Manchester United, the American Glazer family have taken over a billion pound out of the club and wasted another billion running the club without a clear vision other than making sure the club generates enough revenue to satisfy the dividends..... It's sad to say these owners, since they bought the club, have not invested a penny from their pocket..... It looks like unless they do something they won't enjoy those large dividends for much longer..... I haven't bought a single item from Manchester United in 15 years and I wish more people stopped buying Manchester United's merchandise.

I've come to the conclusion that the only way out from this misery is to get rid of these owners which is more difficult than anyone can imagine. I hope Chelsea don't fall into the same trap.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

The Schick Injector I1& Japanese Twin blade continued to perform with smooth mild efficiency.

The Proraso Blue shaving cream created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the aloe vera and vitamin E making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollop's of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Soap Yaqi Malibu
Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor Karve Brass OC-D
Blade Persona X Series 16th Use
Aftershave Yaqi Malibu Splash
Very nice scented soap and the lather is just impeccably creamy and slick...
A good uneventful shave with the razor paired with the well-used but still very smooth blade. Efficiency is not as good but still able to get a dfs result in 3passes without any issues. The aftershave is very good too...
 
Thank you Marc. Regards Brian
 
For anyone interested there's a guy across on The Shave Den who's written these in depth Schick injector guides. I used the Schick E one to identify the model version of my Canadian E.

Schick Type G injectors for dummies

The aim of this thread is to categorize the Type G razors in a way that is easier understood for the average collector so as such I will not being...

Tallow & Steel ‘Boreal’
AP Shave Co 24mm Synbad
Mongoose B2 Hempel barberpole handle
Kai Titan Mild #11
Myrsol Agua Balsamica

Rarely use this shave soap due to it being a bit overpowering on birch pine scent but the performance of the soap is good, finished off with a splash of the Balsamica. Switching to the Timeless DE next due to the Kai blade being past it’s best.
 
Tuesday:

Two for Tuesday, only needed 2 passes, so got it in quite well.

Still the Tech with a Nacet in it.
Went for Droid and Floid combo as it's not seen the light for a few weeks, and I think I smell bloody lovely!

I know I've collected a few Tech razors in the past year, but this one has to be the best I have. I doubt I'll find much better when paired with a decent blade.

Have a grand day one and all.

After yesterday’s poor shave, today could only be better, and it was. So much better. A consistently excellent lather from the Danum and a very close two pass shave with the aluminium SE1. All is good. I must give the R41 another go, I remember getting shaves like this from that razor too.
