Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper
Brush: Omega Evo
Soap: Martin de Candre Vetyver
Razor: Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB / Rosseforp GTS handle
Blade: Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” (12)
Post: PAA Alum and Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Splash: Cattie’s Bubbles Un Jour Gris
Balm: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream
Rating DFS+ 9.8

I am again surprised how good these blades are. So sharp and yet so smooth on it’s 12th shave. I’m pretty sure this is my first shave with them in the WR2. What a combo. This is as close a shave as I have had with the 1.25 I think. I achieved this level of closeness with the 1.15 once. This is the second go with the 19.2 g GTS handle. What a dream team today was. Even the brush and software. Shaves like this make me wonder why I don’t shave more often.

Greetings,

(Tribute month to a great shaving Friend.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Starting the month off with as a tribute to a fellow shaving friend Jeff @Jgreenepa who at the moment due to an adverse reaction to his medication he is now in an ICU. My thoughts are with him and family wishing him a speedy recovery.

Thanks to him In early January this year he kindly gifted me the Schick Type G Injector along with a Gem Featherweight SE razor, a fresh magazine of Personna PTFE SS injector blade & a few Ted Pella PTFE SS Gem blades, which gave me a great opportunity to venture and experience the wonderful world of vintage SE Injector Razors which have became my favourite shaving tools. Especially for dome/ head shaving.

So as a tribute to him i will be using the same soap brush, & both the Schick Type G, & Gem Featherweight SE razors for the remainder of the month. Starting with the Schick Type G Injector fitted with a fresh Personna PTFE SS blade.

An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...The Schick Injector's are such smooth efficient razors.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
