SEptember 2019

Getting down to the end of the Schick Timeline, today finds me with a Type D, circa 1935, the first Injector razor. Used my Rudy Vey barberstyle brush with Tabac, still a Plus Platinum Schick blade (removed to show how the D opened) from back when ..

I think that beautiful razor is from the Circa 1901-04 if you are wondering, the handle is a star or Kampfe brothers razor handle if you are curious.

Yeah, I think I accidentally added a decade lol

The handle is from my Kampfe, this one didn’t come with a handle so I have to mix and match when I use it.

• Schick Adjustable set to 2
• Schick Proline B-20 (3)
• Haslinger Sandelholz
• Casswell Massey Badger, face lathered

Effortless shave aided by great residual slickness from the Haslinger. However, I got careless with the ease of the shave and nicked myself.

One more shave in SEptember. It will probably be a repeat of today's.

Down to the basics, the ABC's if you will, though going in reverse next up is my C-1 Improved Magazine repeater. Took some time to load a modern (same old Plus Plat) blade and this gives a nice, moderately aggressive shave. I have always wondered that these aren't all rotted out inside with all that mechanism where water could get to it ..

Another B&B classic brush, the original Chief stirred up some C&S No.88 ..

SEptemper, Sunday 29 -I have been testing my oldie Goldie a Valet Auto strop C1 Canadian version. This is the closest to Straight razor or Shavette in my collection. The C1 can deliver a nice shave or ...... depending on the hand technique that morning . I find a 3 pass with a clean up too much for myself, A Two pass with a clean up about right with this razor.

Razor: Valet Auto-strop C1 Canadian version with smaller modified gap(.007-.008 thousands inch) MFG 1928-30's
Blade : Gem SS PTFE (2) modified for the Auto-strop blade holder.
Soap: Italian barber Amici
Brush : Razorock Noir 400
Pre shave :Wet Brush wash the face with CeraVe soap
Post shave: Alum + cold water rinse
Post shave :Amici A.S with witch hazel+ Nivea balm
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + Alum indicated above normal irritation =

Have some great shaves!

This razor works much better with a modern blade. The Krona's that I have been using just don't seem to work as well in this razor. But, got a nice shave with a wonderful razor.

Nice, better picture than I had dreamed up for The B-Day .. Wonder what other blade you've tried other than "modern"?

The only other blade I’ve tried in this is the Krona. I’ve been using a Schick Carbon in my type-A just havnt tried it in my Type-B yet.

A great send off to September. I always forger how nice it is to shave with the Jr. Bar. Nice smooth shave, except for the cut on my upper lip (razor slipped to far down, doh!). I only started shaving with SEs last month, and this month has really taught me a lot on how to handle these wonderful razors. I'm looking forward getting back to my straights and de's but these will always be in my rotation.
