Trying a second Schick blade to see if the first one was a dud. It wasn't. They just don't suit my skin type even after 3 uses to bed them in.

Removed the Schick blade put in a Captain Kai mild and all was good in the world.

Great shave from the Stirling soap, probably just about the easiest lathering soap I have.

Epic lather from the soap! Good brush. Nice, somehow matching splash.
Super easy and comfortable 3pass shave with this razor paired with the blade (with an added shim) for a bbs-dfs finish...

Finishing SEptember with the wonderful GEM Micromatic. It has been a really enjoyable month and the Signature soaps really helped the shaves along.
2 passes and a touch up for this early morning shave, the injector blade has covered around 10 shaves and has been retired.
I am smooth and refreshed ready for an early morning Gym session.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Thank you Tony, it’s greatly appreciated. Best Regards Brian

Personna injector blade? How does that fit the Micromatic Tony? Great razor set by the way!

The MicroMatics can take an Injector blade as the cap screws down clamping it in place, they are the only GEM style that allow this as the spring caps of the 1912 etc do not clamp the blade (at least when I tried it). Just check it's straight and centred then away you go.

That's got to be one of the most impressive displays of multi tasking I've ever seen ....................

Friday - final day of SEptember

I finished off with the made in England 1912. Absolutely BBS in 2 passes with a chin touch up.

Arko performed far better than the Tabac did yesterday, possibly brush related.

As for SEptember, it's made me get out every one of my SE razors and give them a go. I've discovered that the plastic injector magazines are rubbish and I'm better with Schick ones. As for the razors there is a pecking order, Schick M2, English ER 1912, Jewel, Schick E3, US ER 1912, Schick E5, PAL injectomatic, Parker.

Have a good start to the weekend everyone.

Razor - Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade - Dorco Prime Platinum (5)
Post - Signature Soaps Danum Aftershave

Lovely lather and a great shave.

I know there are some Hamp Fat fans here, what a great old school tallow lather. For those who enjoy using the first scent profile they released, if you have the chance to do buy yourself a bottle of the Signature Soaps Danum aftershave, and thank me afterwards.



Have a good Friday gents.

​

What a lovely shave, I can even forgive the Semogue for having to return to the tub for the second pass. It was no trouble to create a great lather with the PAA CK-6 formula soap. A super smooth and comfortable result. I really like the Christopher Bradley (and Rockwell 6S) for the ability to select your baseplate and, therefore, adapt the razor better to you and your shave.

Personna injector blade? How does that fit the Micromatic Tony? Great razor set by the way!

Thanks Tony, hadn’t appreciated how the cap clamps the blade. I tried it and an injector blade fits really well but first I had to put a very small semi circular indent on the back with a dremel to get it snug against the centre locator.

The expression “rough as a badger’s bum” couldn’t have been more apt for me this morning. My fault of course, couldn’t resist trying a vintage badger brush from my stash. Whilst it looked well used (not by me though) I thought I would give it a go. Soaped up with my Apothecary 87 and applied same to my face.

Well, it felt like I was using a scrubbing brush on my face, I persevered, but I had to change over to my Culmak synthetic in order to finish lathering up. I tried three different blades in my LEAF Twig as I couldn’t feel or hear much stubble coming off any of them. Obviously a very mild razor, nothing wrong in that but I had to make quite a few passes on an already sore and rapidly drying face to get a smooth finish.
All because I started with the wrong brush, doh! Applied the Man Cave moisturiser but sad to say not the best end to SEptember for me.
Live and learn.
Onwards and upwards for a great October fellas!
