First few shaves with my brand new Schick injector, and what a beautiful razor! Its so easy to shave with, its basically like shaving with a cartridge razor, only without any irritation just like when you use a DE. A huge thanks to Dini for the injector as well as the pearl OC and shave bowls.

Shave 1: A beautiful first shave with the Schick, 0 tugging or irritation, took 3 shaves to get BBS, wonderful slickness from the boots shave stick.

Razor: Schick injector
Blade: Schick ultra platinum (1)
Brush: omega 49
Soap: boots shave stick

Greetings,


Another early morning shave.

The new frankensoap mixture was brilliant ,after a 5 minute soak in warm water,bowl lathered with my damp,not wet omega 48 it created a wonderful slick protective lather for my shave adding water to the tips of the brush inbetween each pass leaving a superb post shave feel to my face.

The trig blade paired together excellently with my gillette tech making a smooth non-aggressive duo,resulting in a 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shave Co. ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Omega Pro 48 Boar
Soap: Boellis Panama 1924
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: NOS Super Iridium BN-76 (5)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Knize Ten EdT

Much better results second time out with the big boar. Whilst it splays well, I found that painting strokes seem to be its forte.
Wonderful lather and performance from perhaps my favourite shaving soap, Boellis Panama 1924.
Three passes for a DFS+ result.
