Last one- Whizamet in a Schick Krona that belonged to my father in law. Unbelievable smooth and surprisingly efficient combo. Without a doubt the razor and blade I will load in a year or two when my young son starts shaving off the peach fuzz. Three easy passes BBS, and although it took some decent pressure to get BBS close there was zero irritation from the Whizamet. Kronas are known for being mild and smooth, but the deficiency was shockingly good.

I had several shaves on a NOS 1930s era Hausmarke Privat, only my Old Type and Parker Variant would accommodate the three hole design.
My last shave of Vintage April!
Brush: Parker Silvertip
Soap: TOBS Forest
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable, birth year (1962)
Blade: Persona Red - Germany (4)
ASL: Proraso After Shave Balm, Protective
A nice, but too fast shave (was late for a dinner engagement), so three weepers. A great way to close out the month.

I own the Norelco One blade and used it during an extended sickness. In five minutes or less of dry shaving one can get a presentable shave with very little irritation. I nicknamed it The Caregiver razor. Healthcare aides can quickly shave a 2-30 day growth on a pattent who has dementia, agitation and Parkinsons.
A number of long-time wet shavers switch to electrics due to age or disability; the problem is past a 3-day growth the electrics really struggle. The one blade is a great solution.
Norelco should really market their One Blade to young first-time shavers: easy to use and has attachments to edge or trim a beard.
Speaking of rhodium I bought a rhodium from Western Razors, the Boston start up. It's a budget plating on their only model, looks nice and only cost $81 delivered (after a 10% discount).
I use my norelco when im in a rush have to leave the house quick and on my downstairs mixup
does an acceptable shave but not close enough for me but i can definitely see it being used in hospitals and old folks homes. I do gotta say ive never ever got in grown from it or razor burn

Nice photo. A question: will a vintage Lady Eversharp twin blade razor also accept single blade injector blades?
All injector razors should accept the regular single bades.
Cheers!
