After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage rebranded butterscotch Simpsons best
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
vintage Myrurgia shave stick (thanks Good Doctor)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Armani 'eau pour homme' EdT (vintage juice)
Second time using this stick.....another crazy Spanish enabling attempt. Sliced off three thin pieces and stuck em to the bottom of a two cup glass bowl. It's on the soft side and easy to press down so it stays still while loading the brush. Heh, strange scent, like nothing I have sniffed before, yet somehow a little familiar. Yeah, it doesn't make sense I know.
First shave using it wasn't right because the lather was off. This time though I tweaked things and the lather was excellent. Yep, cut back on the water to start with and that helped when loading the soap. Did I mention the scent being odd? Well it is. Not unpleasant, just odd.
Performance was really good. Plenty of slip and the cushion was the way I like it. Nice thick lather that didn't break down during the 4 passes. Post shave skin are was good.
Not to enable anyone, but every time I use this goofy looking injector the damn thing amazes me. For the longest time I figured the adjustable couldn't be topped, but man oh man, talk about a perfect fit. Whacks whiskers like a much more aggressive razor would, but extremely mild on my face. Pretty crazy. Looking at the thing I thought there would be no chance in hell it would shave decently. Great flea market score.
BBS results,
Martin
Oh, the injector pics aren't mine.
