SOTD WEDNESDAY, May 27, 2020

I decided to shave with my E Type Injector this morning. I was gifted a G Type some months ago, but have always preferred my E Type’s shave. Software remained the same as yesterday. I think I may be becoming addicted to Nancy Boy Shave Cream. It’s definitely not the scent, but rather the consistently rich, slick glistening lather it produces. The 6 drops of M-Bomb don’t hurt by converting it into the best mentholated lather I have, and I own both soap and AS for Chiseled Face Cryogen, Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite, Stirling Glacial Obsidian and Lemon Chill, and Krampert’s Frostbite.

Back to the shave. I loaded an empty Schick Injector Magazine by hand with 7 Schick B-20 Proline blades which I then used to load the razor! Proline injector blades are great! I’ve used the AC counterparts in my AC razors as well, and they’ve never failed to deliver an excellent shave. The Viking Silvertip Badger generated sufficient lather for 6 passes, but I again only needed two (WTG, ATG) passes to put the baby to bed! Today’s shave easily achieved VBSS status and was so good that I think I’ll repeat it tomorrow with the G Type which I find to be a hair more efficient than my E Type. I feel clean, Velveteen smooth, cool and incredibly refreshed!

RAZOR: Schick E Type Injector
BLADE: Schick B-20 Proline Injector
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and Nancy Boy Signature Scent Cooling Balm.

What's with the edge on your razor? Is your face ok?

Thanks for the concern. Edge? We don't need no stinking edges. Two pass, great shave. Those Portland razors rock.

‘64 Tech
Astra SP (1)
Barbasol Sensitive
Pinaud VIBR

That’s it!
Today was my first use ever of an SP blade. Although it did a decent job cutting the whiskers I am not overly impressed. The SS function just as well if not better. I won’t complain however. They only cost me under 7 dollars for the hundred I bought. And I can already tell that I’ll get at least over 5 shaves per blade.... I’m guessing actually!! So I’m pleased already....
