Participation PIF - An Old Friend Returns

[Yuritau]

Blade 2, Shave 5
Tradere OC, Maggard's TimberWolf travel synthetic, Tabac

The last ride of this great old blade, as I felt some tugging on the second and third passes. Still an otherwise great shave though.

Blade #2, Shave #6 (maybe)
DFS shave today. I’m traveling so not quite as restful a shave as it would be at home. But these are great blades.

Schick Blade #2, Shave #12

Razor: Yaqi DOC
Blade: Schick
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Soap: La Toja
Balm: Neutrogena Hydro Boost

I’ve used this setup for 8 days in a row while on vacation. I think there is more life in the blade, but I may take a couple of days off and use another Adventure blade.

This Polsilver blade was Piffed to me as part of this Schick blade PIF, very nice as well. So are most blades in the Twig razor, very nice daily shaver!

Schick Krona blade #2, 20th & last shave

This is a dandy blade. I would stock up if they were still made.

Old topic, old blade, first shave ;-)

Still had 1 of these blades lying around, so put it in my RR GC today and had another great shave.

Skipped the weekend, so it was about time to have a decent shave! This razor requires less pressure than the Blackbird Lite I used all of last week!

You have made me nostalgic for this awesome vintage blade!

@stivek and @Juanmosey, all the Schick Super Stainless blades have been given out.

However, I do have some Eddison and Timor blades to give out from the current Discovery PIF - You're Amazing Adventure Begins With A Great Shave

Blade number three Edison

I previously had shaved for four weeks with the timor blades. So the contrast stood out. The Eddison blades are much sharper and last longer. I was able to use the third blade for 11 shaves. on to the negatives. I did have a couple of nicks so you have to be more cautious with the sharper blade. Perhaps previously using Timor blades, was used to using more pressure.

I’m very fond of the Eddison blades. They have the sharpness and longevity alike. I use my favorite razor the Lupo 95 closed comb and my favorite, soap Poroso green with my favorite brush, the tuxedo, synthetic nut and finished with my favorite witch hazel the thayers rose scented.

The Eddison blades are excellent. In my opinion I would recommend them. I also recommend the Lupo 95, and obviously Proraso and thayers. Two favorites in the wet shaving community.

Today I luckily had another splendid shave. Yesterday I struggled a bit with the Personna injector blade on it's 1st shave, today everything worked out beautifully again. I am getting the hang of the Speick soap from the bowl too, where I first thought I liked the stick better. Great stuff.
