December 21, 2024 Saturday shave

Razor: Schick L type Injector, NEW old stock
Blade: Schick Chinese (1)
Soap: Barrister and Mann Le Grand Chypre
Brush: Paladin Tut w/Muhle STF XL
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

Well, today I went totally off the reservation! Today marks the first use of a new Schick Injector model L razor. It was the first time in nearly 50 years that I've used an injector. My last one was stolen while working offshore in the Java sea in 1976. Anyway, I've had this new razor for 9 months and decided that today was the day to try it out. I'm sorry I waited so long!

First impression: This is cheating! To my surprise, this razor gave me a great, smooth, no drama shave, just like @spacemonkey42 said it would. Even the "Chick" blade was very good. I'm happy that another razor has quickly entered the Hall of Fame in my shave den. Schick should do themselves a favor and start producing this razor again!

All the other elements of the shave were terrific, as well. This was a tremendously enjoyable shave!

Razor: Schick Model L Injector
Blade: Schick (2)
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A

This was the 2nd shave with this NOS Schick injector razor. Like the first shave, it was easy and close with no issues. It is SO easy to use this razor!
The combination of the Scots Pine Sheep and AP Shave Co. brush was terrific! This was a good start to the week!
