10/27: Schick L, Chick, canned shave gel, no brush, Aqua Velva. As I’ve said before, the L type feels sticky w my usual lather. Used some gel in a can to get a beautiful BBS. Next shave: Gillette SuperSpeed.

ER 1924 -Claymore handle & Gem S/S [ 3 ]
The 1924 is perhaps considered one of the more aggressive ER/Gem SE Razors, I have found it to be an excellent Razor when teamed up with a longer handle. A quality Shave today as good as many of those with AC/SEs.

Gem MM -original, Gem S/S [ 1 ]
First time I have used this for a long time, much smoother than expected must have got the angles right.

This is an amazing razor/blade combination: smooth efficient long lasting BBS in two passes (wtg and atg). IMHO the Hawk V2 w/ Schick P30 is hands down the best shave for the money.

A Twin Blade takes the N series Razors to another level.
I have tried such in one of my razors and it doesn't seem much better to me. To be fair and honest I am highly prejudiced against multi-blade razors.

ER Natural Angle [HFT] & Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Nice Razor to shave with but I find it to be mild,and I never get a really close Shave with one.
