Razor : Enders Speed Razor
Blade : Schick Injector (1)
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft Silvertip
Soap: Barrister & Mann Hallows
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Dragonsbeard Skin Food Splash
Fragrance: Dragonsbeard EDP
So I had a pretty Enders Speed razor in Yellow with the Chrome insert and maybe shouldn't have gotten rid of it. Picked up this black one NOS in the box with papers. The part I hated was trying to get the Enders modified blade to hold the injector blade where I wanted it without moving as well as straight. I saw Greg GAW9576 that used JB Weld to make the modified Enders blade more dummy (Dave) proof. So I sent him 5 blades to do his thing with along with a soap and splash for his trouble.
 
Boom, I'm in business again. It holds the blade at a location I can feel it slightly in a sweet spot that cuts. I would have had it a tad more forward but it work and I got a nice drama free shave although I doubt it will last all day as I like. Face feels great but from experience I know it won't have the all day non-mask grabbing quality. Eric (MaineYooper) knows what I mean. The benefit is I don't need to go anywhere today. Just stuff around the house to care for. It's a fun razor and I love the handle shape but an actual injector would be more effective. The soap was a pif from Ken (Fluffy) and I'm thankful as I have been curious about this one but don't buy things that have bawdy or macabre etc artwork. The scent was in my wheelhouse and the performance was nice. Nothing to make it stand out beyond all the great artisans to me but a very good soap. I used my new to me scuttle and I thank Corey for the screaming deal on it. I feel guilty for the cost to ship it being nearly what he sold it for and hope if he ever see's a soap I have he wants a sample of or a razor to try that he let's me know. That's it folks, Have a GREAT day today !!

I set the edges even with the factory edge of the vintage blade. If you get some of the blades with the etching on them and want me to make a few more adapters just remind me and I can set them or at least some of them forward a little. I can mark them somehow so you know which is which.

Appreciated and hope it didn't sound like I was complaining. I got a great shave and like these too. Thanks again Greg !
