Friday Shave
Razor: Fuzzy Catcher
Blade: GRM CS
Brush: JR154
Soap: AOS Sandalwood
Balm: AOS Sanbalwood
First shave with my latest creation. I very nice middle of the road aggression shave. 3 pass DFS. I need a few more shaves on it to get the feel for it. First impressions is it is a keeper. I might need a few tweaks, but it is a shave worthy creation.
Saturday March 6, 2021 Razor: Schick G "66" Blade: Schick (?) Brush: Saponificio Varesino Cocobolo Soap: Palmolive AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70 AS 2: Palmolive Splash Fragrance: Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Continuing with my Vintage SE focus for the week and pulled my Schick G "66" razor which just gives a phenomenal shave. The Palmolive soap provide a nicely scent lather and the splash completed things except for the TF Grey Vetiver which was the cherry on the Sundae. Have a great day guys !!

Razorock ECO, Williams Mug Soap, Omega 1048 boar brush, Skin Bracer AS!! I have been using Williams everyday since 12/21/20 and have not had one shave that wasn't excellent!! I would never tire if it, if it was my only soap, as it was for over 20 years. So far, I have no trouble ignoring my many great soaps and creams- I'm more foolish than stubborn some would say!!
Tabac
Razorock Monster Synthetic Plissoft 26mm
Schick Type G
Schick blade (10)
Lilac Vegetal
I love the Schick razors. Silent, smooth and efficient. Easy to mistake them as inefficient and get tons of razor burn. With my early days with a Schick Injector it had that learning curve.

Razor: Schick N1 Injector
Blade: Schick Twin (5)
Brush: Turn N Shave/Fanchurian
Soap: Strop Shoppe Russian Tea
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Skin Bracer
Fragrance: Nuit D'Issey Noir Argent
Back to the N1 Injector with a Twin blade in it for shave 5. I had this past week Focused on singe edge razors as I have joined a forum is ONLY for SE razors. Other razors are referred to as "Unmentionables" It's unfortunate that you can't mention or post about anything except SE razors because it will obviously limit my SOTD posts there but I enjoy contributing what can. I LOVE my SE razors but also my others as I just dig ALL the history of razors thru history. I do understand their wanting to have a focus on just the SE razors though and respect it. I will be grabbing this one fairly often as I am curious about the Twin Blade longevity and whether it will go (comfortably) the 20+ shaves it is said to be capable of. #5 was smooth, close and comfortable. Grabbed one of my favorite scents from an old time and now gone soap maker - Russian Tea from Strop Shoppe. Frank Dragonsbeard , I know you have a ton of things going on in that brain of yours but if you could do a great Russian Tea with STRONG scent strength you would pull me from my "NO MORE SOAPS until I use some up" position. Topped off with some smelly stuff and ready to get out the door for a long day after some coffee and forum perusing. Have a Stellar Day everyone !!

Nice shave, Dave. The pictures are really nice, too. I like shaving with all the old razors, too. The last week I have been using adjustables, so, I only have my Schick M1, Supply V2, Gillette Techmatic, and Bunny V3 for SEs. All the rest are unmentionables. You can see them on other forums. I have enough adjustable razors to go 12 days with no duplication. Looking back over last year, I find that I do gravitate more to the SE and injector razors than to the unmentionables though.
