Nice Injector that..

Billy

I like it but I'm thinking the E-2 gives nicer shaves.

Yeah.Its a bit a Paradox that one I reckon as the Type E 2 that Opens is a bit more aggressive but a tad smoother as well..The Earlier Schick Type E 2 Injectors are even smoother than the Later Models form the 60s & 70s I reckon..

SOTD 6/3/16

Hot towel, Phoenix & Beau Citra Royale, Body Shop Synthetic, Mongoose B3 Satin, Feather Pro (3), Cold Towel

It's true, I've found shaving nirvana with Phoenix & Beau and a Mongoose. A simple shave is a sublime shave. Hot towel prep, the incredible protection glide and post shave finish from Phoenix & Beau and the efficiency of the Mongoose and Feather. A man needs no more. Gentlemen, I urge you to try this combination.

A fine job it did too!

Mastro Livi Grifetto in Mother of Pearl Scales​

One more impeccable shave with my new Mastro Livi Grifetto. I absolutely love this one having elegant and stunning mother of pearl scales, it is a joy to see and to shave with. The day Mastro Livi made this Grifetto for me, he allowed me filming the making process and I am very glad to treasure this new video in my memories of the straight razors he made for me. As usual, I wanted to share this video with all the fellow wet shavers in order to let you all see, one more time, Mastro Livi at work and showing his art and craftsmanship.​

I'm deffo up for trying the P&B soap; as for the 'goose, meh, nothing special in my eyes, yeah nice shave but nothing I can't get with a Schick E, or PAL Injectomatic.... Nice and all that though
