Single Edge Sunday - What Will You Use?

Schick Adjustable set on 7.
Gillette Foamy.
Old Spice AS from Dollar General.

The interesting thing is that the Schick is clearly smoother than a Type L Clone, even though I use the same blades in both.

Today was my Ever Ready Lather Catcher (1907ish) with a Gem SS (2). Pretty clean shave, just a bit off irritation on my neck where I usually have it.

First shave with my Gem feather weight, not bad, preshave routine wasnt in effect (shower)etc. Used Mike's soap , used gem PTFE blade, Omega boar brush. Pretty good shave, two weepers on my neck. Lately it's more problematic than it used to be. Still have a few razors to try out. I like to use them several times before.i decide on them.
