Shave of the Day Thread - 2018

[alfredus]

FINALLY got my Schick Injector blades for my 1955 Schick Injector Eversharp Hydro Magic SE razor. Just used it a few minutes ago. Flawless shave. It seems TO ME that it shaves somewhat better than my double edges, my Gillettes and Muhle R41. I don't know if that's my imagination or what but I feel I got a much more smooth close shave with my Schick Injector than my Gillette DEs and Muhle R41. Hmmmm…..

Not your imagination ......... Everything, including a blunt piece of fencing iron shaves better than a DE - of any type. [Tongue in cheek ]
I appreciate there are some that believe they get a good shave from a DE, none the less some even believe a takeaway burger is food.
The Schick injectors are a superb system. If this wasn't an obsessive hobby no-one would ever need anything else. Possibly one of the very best injectors made by Schick is the Model "G"
Have fun.

Really good. Had a great 1st shave with it. Super super smooth and the polished finish adds to that i think. Probably be somewhere near the Guerrilla in aggression. Really happy with it.

A quick photo of my first straight razor shave on Saturday (04/08/2018).
It went well. Very slow. Just the sideburns and cheeks. No cuts. No irritation.

Yes. I agree. But I still feel the Gillette DEs are still superb shavers for DE. But that's just my opinion...
