Sunday shave Dec 22-2019 and it will be a Schick shave with my brought back to life E2 that was purchased in rough shape from a remote Antique shop. This razor is one of the best shavers Schick ever designed IMO for getting a close shave with a light razor. It is nimble in the hand to use, easy to clean and mid upper range IMO. What is there not to like about a E2?

Razor : Schick E2 injector Canadian variant - MFG 1930's & 40's
Blade : Personna injector (6)
Soap : Razorock Lavender
Brush : Yaqi Timber wolf 24 mm
Pre shave : Brush wash the face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear aloe Vera gel on the beard area.
Post shave : Alum + cold water rinse
Post shave : Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch Hazel + Nivea balm
Results : 9/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + alum indicated some minor irritation + 3 blemish weepers = :biggrin1:
