Speick Shave Stick | Shavemac 177 | Personna Injector | 444 ASB | Speick AS

Not a particularly good shave today. Irritation, redness, etc. Used some cheap drug store blades that weren't all that great. Will get some better quality blades and give it another try.

Tuesday

Eversharp-Schick injector razor ca. 1946
Schick-branded injector blade (6!)
eShave lavender SC
Omega boar brush
three passes
T&H WIL ASB
Monsieur Balmain EDC + Penhaligon's Anthology Extract of Limes EDC

DFS today. Did the triple citrus after the shave, with West Indian Lime on the face, and two kinds of citrus EDCs. Smelled great. What a great way to wake up!

Smooth shaving despite it being the SIXTH shave with the same injector blade. They're almost a buck apiece, so it's nice to know I can get a lot of shaves out of them.

 

[Austin]

Trumpers razor
Simpsons T2 brush
Floris Elite shave soap
Proraso balm
Acqua Di Parma Colonia

 

[Cookie_Junkie]

OK -- here you go -- it's a beauty!

Sure is!

You'd almost tell it is made of some kind of granitic (?) stone...
A very unusual way to deal with damascus, but a nice variation from the wave in length pattern...

Doesn't it affect the balance too much? You would not mess around with an out of control Slanthammer, would you!?!!

Bull Mastiff w/ British NEW Head
NOS UK White Label Wilkinson Sword (1st shave)

DFS. Shave went well until it went ATG. The Wilkinson was pretty rough on this pass. All in all not bad, but I don't think the Wilkinson is a good combo with the NEW.
