I had an excellent shave this morning with my new to me Schick A1 and a fresh Personna 74. What a wonderful combination.

Wednesday Morning Bristle Whittling
Not pictured, my first pass was with a Rolls Razor that I recently acquired. Basically it could shave but I think it needed a lot more hone and strop work. It got me over the fear of the straight edge on a stick and proved it would shave a bit. Finished with the Empire and that was last use of the Schick Injector modification blade. It had lost it's efficiency. Overall a good shave in the long run.

Thursday Morning Tonsorial Experimentation
Enders vintage blade was a total FAIL. Not smooth, not efficient and not at all a good shave. So I finished with my WS Empire from yesterday with a newly modified Feather AC Light (AMAZING). I will fiddle in a modern Injector to the Enders and see if we can get a shave with it.

I can can manage an unmodified injector blade in my Christy, try that.

I think one of them sued the other and eventually the Enders Speed was born out of it. I managed to squeeze in a Personna Injector blade without cutting the tip of my thumb off so that will be tomorrows shave. I was hoping the vintage Enders would work because I have a crap ton of them but no enchilada.
