Thought I'd have a little fun with Stick Schick L type with a Twin II blade and see what it could do on shave #22. It did not disappoint at all and gave a close fun shave after a failed trial gap adjustment on my auto strop c1 razor in the morning, so auto strop razor was abandoned for my trusty stick Schick.
Razor: Stick Schick L type MFG 1973
Blade : Schick Twin II (22)
Soap: Razorock XXX
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Preshave: Shower + Aloe Vera Gel
Post shave: Alum block + cold water rinse
Post shave: Razorock XXX AS+ Nivea balm
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + alum block indicated more than usual irritation from Auto strop razor gap adjustment trial=
Have some great shaves!

Reached for the Schick Adjustable, with the currently loaded Schick-Twin blade again. Really beginning to like the Schick and OneBlade Hybrid, possible more than my DEs.

Didnt face shave but head shaved. Can't believe how good the ER British 1912 is doing. Mikes soap again.
