[stvince71]

If it is any SE, I'm in. I only have three Gems/Stars. But I'll post pics of my shaving tools I used this morning, and of tomorrow's shave.

 

[brianw]

Remember, you literally could post 15 different times. Lets see them all... Gems, Ever Ready's, Stars, Injectors.....all of them. Lets show our love for the lowly (yeah right) SE.



(I still love my straights tho)

 

[stvince71]

Good to hear! I'll be able to show off the Wilkinson and the hopefully soon to arrive Rolls.

 

[Haggises]

I only have one SE so I guess I'll play
This is what I'll be shaving with tonight and its my first ever SE Shave
Soap: La Toja Manantiales
Brush: Shavemac D01
Razor: Star 1912
Blade: Vintage Gem Razor Blade
AS: SCS New Spice
Bowl: WCS Blue bowl



This will be my first and only entry
I look forward to seeing everyone elses


Edit: Just had my first shave DFS with the vintage blades actually pretty nice no major tugging a bit of razor burn I think that was my fault. Gonna try this tomorrow. Hope you guys don't mind the same razor with different setup haha gonna use this blade till I can't use it anymore. Just learning the angles I think under the neck I am completely wrong but live and learn right

Very happy might have to go source me some SE razors now and sell some DE off to make room

My 1912 Damaskeene loaded with a Ted Pella Blade

 

[Cicatero]

Razor: Ever-Ready 1924 $7.00
Blade: Group Buy PTFE Gem 19.7¢
Soap: VDH Deluxe $1.49
Brush: VDH Boar $5
ASB: Witch Hazel and Lubriderm 3-in-1 $6.55

Adding up the consumables and amortizing the reusable items, I estimate the per shave cost as being about 9¢.

A DFS, like a king.

The original SE!

 

[onefallinghope]

1912 Damaskeene, Shulton OS Cream, "Vintage" P+G OS Cologne, Semogue 1305 brush, GEM PTFE SS Blade from the group buy (3)

 

[stvince71]

Today's tools:


Wilkinson Empire #10 with Wilkinson wedge blade, E&J Black Badger brush, Becker scuttle. Lather is a recipe someone else posted else where. I loaded my brush with VDH Deluxe soap and in the scuttle put about a almond sized amount of Bigelow cream and 5 drops of Shave Secret. Whipped up the lather with the loaded brush. The lather is thick, slick and has helped get me some pretty good results. Whosever idea it was, I thank you.

 

[Nova316]

Soap: Nancy Boy Replenishing Shave Cream
Brush: Vie-Long 16410
