Mon 1st January 2018 RazoRock Syn. 22mm Cyril Salter Solid Soap Gem Junior 1912- Brass Gem S/S [ 4 ? ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion After a few days of rather indulgent Injector Shaves, well they are easy and forgiving I moved back to SE. Definitely required more care and concentration during the Shave,and was pleased to be rewarded by a nice close all round Shave. A Happy New Year to All.  |

1/1/2018 - 1st shave of the year. I got 2 packs of the Schick Proline B20's from Japan a month ago, and so far I have used them in 3 injectors. Type G8 - PAL Injecto-matic and the modern SUpply 2.0 razor. So far the razor has really impressed me, I get the same feeling as I do from a Schick Plus Platinum for the Mid 70's - so for me VERY SHARP. I plan on loading Proline blades on my vast injector collection, last night my LADY EVERSHARP Type K2 with the Hydro-magic lever (fyi - i cant stand hydromagic levers as they seem to break ez, So if u get a razor that has a good lever i NEVER open it - hot water cleans it fine) .... I love these lady eversharp's but with the PROLINE the shave was MIND blowing - i cant get any closer bbs than i did last night - 9 hours later - still bbs on most of my face..  |

02.01.2018  Great first shave of the year with the Silver Hawk. Always an easy, and consistent tool to achieve a great close shave. This Uula Razor Master Shaving Soap is a great not so expensive soap and with a great coffee aroma to kickstart the day first thing in the morning. As a final touch the hypermentholated Aqua Velva which I added a few menthol crystals gave me a cool frozen feel that lasted a few hours. Have a fantastic 2018 my friends! |

First Shave 2018  Fist shave of the year. So I opted for all of my newest tools. Razor: Black Hawk newly acquired today from herm2502Blade:Feather Pro Brush: GarnerPWSoap: Jeeves gift from @drygulch AS: Tabac Lotion. From Wife I had a wonderful shave today. I normally shave later in the day. When my wife texted me that I received my razor, game on. I was doing a bit of reading on the Black Hawk. People were saying it is a mild razor. So I decided to forgo the Feather Guard and go straight to the Pro. Great decision. As this is the first New razor that I have that takes these blades. I was a bit concerned about the added width of the razor. This is a light razor. So I found that the long handle came in nicely. Using no pressure I found the angle right away. Proceeding to do my standard 3 pass shave. I found that it feels like a mild razor. But by no means in my opinion is it. I find later Schick to be mild. I would compare this to a Schick G for Blade feel. But the efficiency is better than that. I think that a few more shaves on the Blade and this will be a sweet shaving razor. It is perfect for a 1 or 2 day beard. If somebody is thinking about getting one. It is worth a punt, especially for the price. Happy New Year All. Tom |
