So we don't post pictures of razors that don't fit the Single Edge Safety razor category. It's fine to post a picture with a non conforming razor edited out or a picture of the rest of the gear without the razor. Also we refer to any non conforming razor as an Unmentionable.

Got it. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, that's a good start. You need to branch out to vintage SEs and some 3D printed SEs.

Friday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
SlimGem Synthetic
Taipan 3D SE Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the SlimGem Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Taipan 3D SE Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Pre      -  Shower
Brush  -  Vintage Butterscotch Culmak Plus 1950
Soap   -  Palmolive stick / Maca Root Superlather
Razor  -  Schick B1 Repeating Razor 1927-32
Blade  -  Personna Injector (3)
Post    -  Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel

A/S     -  Williams Aqua Velva Musk

For me, Injector shaves don't get any better than this, The Schick repeater is a wonderful piece engineering which i doubt could be copied today without a massive outlay to both the manufacturer and end user.
The Vintage brush and soap whipped up a great lather on the face, this old girl still has plenty of backbone with the tips still soft on the face.
I completed a 2 pass shave WTG then a XTG/ATG mix with some touch up on the whirlpools for a very comfortable BBS finish.
Finishing off with a rub of the AV Musk topped off a very nice piece of Sink time.
I do believe i enjoyed that!
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Sorry if this sound like heresy, but I'm not a big fan of Gem blade or shick injector type razors. I prefer the wider Artist Club SEs.
That said, I do still have a few vintage AutoStrops:

NOS Valet/AutoStrop Gold VC4 in original box
Gillette Valet/AutoStrop Gold VC4
Gillette Valet/AutoStrop Gold VC3
Valet/AutoStrop Gold VC2
Valet/AutoStrop Nickel VC1 in original case

Thursday night shave ....aka Au revoir mustache!!
Now I'm finally clean shaven and even more civilized ( @Dave in ky)once again!The beard experiment was fun and for those that may not know me , I was a loyal head and face shaver who went off the rails and grew my hair back plus a beard . Tsk tsk. My choice of weapon was the Autostroppe once again loaded with a Treet cs blade , Fine Italian citrus (old formula), Black Pearl brush( same as the one I made for Fuzzy), Dickinson witch hazel,  and lastly...Stetson. Was a late night shave hence no pic . Have a great day !
