If you have to do something...

Same here, if I ever use my injector again.

It’s a difficult choice every morning, between the injector or the Vector for sure! The injector is just a bit more mindless for me, though maybe not as close of a shave without a bit of extra work.

Shave #137 (409 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Schick L injector, Supply/Personna blade, RR 400 synth brush, CBL Barbershop soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Guess Men Original to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 62:

Nice morning with no set schedule. Woke up without an alarm clock, quick breakfast with a cup of coffee, chores already done for the most part.

Shave today was focused on using my new-to-me RR 400 and getting in another use of Guess Men Original. The 400 is pretty nice. It’s got a little bit of scritch and a little backbone...feels almost like a boar knot. It a nice brush if someone liked synths and wanted a break from the super soft types most modern ones are. It’s definitely better than the 2nd Anniversary brush I traded for or any early generation synths that we’re impossible to get along with. The Guess Men is pleasant; I do enjoy it most when it’s dried down fully, but I’m still in the fence as to if I’d reach for it often. I may try another frag trade for something a little more “young”.

Have a great Saturday all!

Do you have the 400 Noir? Butterscotch handle and black knot?

Do you have the 400 Noir? Butterscotch handle and black knot?

No, though it looks very nice. This is the original (?) orange handled RR 400.

 

[Galaktus]

Yes, it is orange, not butterscotch. My mistake.

 

[GearNoir]

Yes, it is orange, not butterscotch. My mistake.

I must apologize as well, I crossed some wires somewhere and totally misread your first message. I thought you were talking about the aluminum handled one! Sorry.

Yes, whatever color it is, butterscotch/orange, with the black knot. Sorry, lol.

 

[Galaktus]

I had the aluminum one with the matte black handle but didn't like it. A bit too heavy. I do like the resin handle/black knot version.

Shave #138 (409 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:

Gear: Schick M injector, Schick Twin blade, Yaqi SF synth brush, CBL Oud Minerale soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Lucky Tiger AS, and TF Oud Wood to finish!

Corona Virus Official Day 63:

Very nice early morning rain. Should have some more showers later in the day and tomorrow!

Light breakfast and service this morning. A little bit of laundry to do today, but that’ll be that.

Great finish of injector week with the M adjustable and Twin blade. Lived it up a bit with CBL Oud Minerale soap and a couple generous spritzes of TF Oud Wood to finish.

What’s in the shaving cards for this week! IDK honestly. Probably at least a few days of the GC .68...maybe I’ll bring the Weck out a couple times. We’ll see!

Have a blessed Sunday all!

 

[MilkCrate]

Very nice!

No rain here yet. The prognosticators were wrong again. We don't really need it as of yet. The neighborhood is every shade of green under the sun.

If I had known earlier in my life that I could still get paid for being wrong so often, I might have gone into meteorology
