Just Modern Ramblings in the Shaving World 🤷‍♂️

[rockrabbit]

Just spent a whopping $35 on AliExpress.

420 blades plus other things shaving related.

This One & Done business means a lot more blades are required!

Glad you joined us, sir!

 

[rockrabbit]

Unless something else does not work on my face; suspect this will be the running order for head shaving.

3 blades each a week, that’s the next 12 weeks!

Only a couple of weeks left for the carbon blades and then the rotation will be updated.

 

[rockrabbit]

Hmm… doing inventory I have discovered that I have a lot of 1’s and 2’s of blades, so logically I’m going to just run through all of those blades first.. after Shark Week and now Minora Week!

The joy of 1st world problems!

 

[rockrabbit]

I have 500 of these being shipped to me for $35!

I hope you enjoy them! I just finished up a week with them so I be following along to see what your thoughts are!

Been sniffing around the Injector Blade threads. Been interested in trying this style of shaving for a while.

The Blackland Vector looks the business, however the price is doable only if I know if I like Injector Shaving first. To that end, found an insanely good deal on a Vintage Schick Type M (Adjustable) on the bay.

Will give a good cleaning when it arrives and then ponder which blades to get.

Now this will fly in the face of the CEO and CFO of the One & Done Club and I stand a good chance of being booted out, but what the hey, I’m not giving up DE razors and blades just yet!

And oh.. sorry.. found this too…

Let me know if you think the Matgicol blades in the red and black boxes are the same or not. I think they are, but another member thought differently.

 

[rockrabbit]

Well that escalated quickly!

Do a little homework into SE and with particular attention to AC (Artist Club) blades…

RazoRock Stainless Steel "Standard" HAWK Single-Edge Razor - v3

🫡

 

[rockrabbit]

And I can use an Open Comb base plate with the Hawk too?

 

[thombrogan]

I’m told the standard plate is the Goldilocks of the trip. I have the OC plate and it’s unforgiving and the I’ve read the AS plate isn’t all that aggressive.

 

[rockrabbit]

I’m looking at SE/AC blades from a Head Shavers point of view.

Right now I’m sticking with DE blades for my face.

Just watched the overly enthusiastic YouTuber named Stubie Shaves, shave his head with the Open Comb base plate to great success. As I shave my head 48 hours up to 72 hours apart, I plan to start my journey with the Vintage Schick Type M.

The RazoRock Hawk will then makes its entrance to my rotation and we will see if it’s for me or not.

Blades?

Schick Proline P-30’s & Feather Professional’s have been ordered

 

[thombrogan]

Fingers crossed it’s everything you want and more. The OC can definitely shave a head lightbulb smooth – even with over a month of hair (my scalp hair is a bit thin, though) – and repay carelessness with embarrassing knicks.

I think my head shape led me to get called “Charlie Brown” afterwards was not a fault of the razor

DEATH WATCH UPDATE

TOD: 05:56 EST

This version of the cream is no longer available. The US Body Shop Maca Root officially died early this morning with a smile.

It has left behind the Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe and a whole host of other creams.

I started my Wet Shaving journey in early 2009 after I read an article in Lifehacker about Wet Shaving and was also annoyed with the price and performance of cartridges. The above is from late 2009 after I had mastered shaving with a DE and it was now officially part of my lifestyle. Body Shop has been part of that journey and the memory will live on!

 

[rockrabbit]

This finishes my exploration of 'Gillette Blades' for a bit. The Yellow reminded me of the GSB in more ways than one. Happy to say these blades now has a 3 shave rotation in my den. So happy to have my 1930's Gillette NEW Razor back in service after I went Razor exploring too.

 

[Eric_75]

I know you from the Head Shaver's Check-In but I just wanted to say it's great to see you here as well, friend.

Wishing you a great weekend.
