FEBRUARY 2020 SCORES

[ronweston]

No matter the season, no matter the weather the hunt should continue....

Visit the familiar places, seek out new ones, always searching for the elusive find ... and, you never know, you may stumble on that special something because ...

The Scores do await, whether in the wild and online. And when you find one, oh does it feel so good!

And Gents, when you snag one please let us know.

Because, we all want to see and think ... Lucky Dog! I need one of THOSE....​

Went for a drive to pick up a cast iron cornbread pan, and stopped at a few antique shops while out. Found a couple stones and an old brush. Third butterscotch in my simpsons harem!

Some ebonite. These are very nicely polished. I've had some ebonite brushes that weren't. First, an M&F 2xl in Fiesta ebonite. Second, a Leo Frilot brush made for the SFWS group's EOTYB 3 in 2018.

Thanks Jack. My photography does not do justice to either one, but especially the M&F. Brad did an amazing job polishing that one.

I received a box last night from WCS. I really wanted to try the Yaqi Knight Helmet razor head and bought a few other things to fill the cart. My son liked the scent of Take-Out Night when we were at the Maggard's meet last year, but he chose a few other things instead, so I picked up a set for him as a little surprise for his birthday coming up. I just needed a new alum block and decided to to try Black Ship High Seas aftershave. I think it will go nice with my Irma Shave PAA soap.

Yesterday a package came in from the Holy Black with a Valentines gift for my wife. I bought her their Scarab EDP as something a little different.

Today the mailman brought a new razor to me. I never tried an Enders. I just have to figure out the blade thing. I was surprised on the size. They look bigger and chunkier in photos, but they seem smaller in person and rather light. I always dig trying different types of razors.

Thursday night I came home to a package containing the razor I have been wanting for a long time - Schick's New and Improved Type F Injector. I have been searching for a good useable example for some time and every time I found one it got away for one reason or another. This one is in fairly good shape. I cleaned it and then polished it some more this morning before my inaugural shave with it. It really shines now. It was a great performer and very smooth. It was a tad less aggressive and a bit smoother than my E2 and therefore I preferred slightly more. Maybe it was just my first impression combined with the "Yes I am shaving with my Holy Grail razor" factor, but it was definitely a delight to use. My only negative criticism is the fact that it is kind of slippery. The handle grip is not great. The razor was polished smooth and I used some alum to improve the situation. Not a big problem to resolve. I hope my future shaves are just as good with it. It is a beauty and I really enjoy it. I'm sure it will earn its spot among my favorites. It already has a head start with one of the coolest vintage deco designs!
