Just be sure to dry it off. Being carbon steel it will rust quick.

Henckles Rapide Gem SS Ever-Ready 800? TOBS Grapefruit Stirling Grapefruit First use of the Rapide. Felt so rough I thought I had a duff blade, changed the blade and no better. Probably much better with the original wedge I guess. Have a great weekend Beautiful razor -- sorry to hear the shave wasn't great.

WooHoo Maiden Voyage with this today! Can't believe this razor! It's WW2 vintage, whether this set is original or not. And it looks like it has never been used...TIME-WARP!! I'm going to do a razor review someplace..But suffice it to say...todays shsve was one of those "Best Evah"!! Type shaves...👍👍 Every piece of kit came forward to welcome this new War Vintage E2 home...in Grand Style!!

Since I have to be up at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow, I'm posting my sotd for tomorrow,tonight. The soap is a sample of something I have in the works. Bit of a surprise, but I think y'all will like it. Be on the lookout for more information to come soon. Also, to a certain member here that sent me this brush, (I'll not say unless they want me to) I get to try a "real" badger brush instead of the old cheap floppy ones I have. Y'all make it a good day!

Fri 14th Dec. Simpsons Chubby 1 / Maggards 2 Band Fitjar Havn cream-sample Supply SE- V1 / V2 No3 Plate Personna S/S [ 3] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Now 3 Shaves in with my Hybrid Supply SE using a Personna blade. This combo is smooth and efficient, and I am with ease getting the type of finish that I get with an E2 /PAL Injecto-Matic. I now feel that I can use this Razor/Blade combo without fear of mishap for a "Special Occasion" Shave. It certainly will now figure more often in Injector rotations.

Leaving me silky smooth. Have a great weekend my friends. Possibly a very silly question, but is the handle on your ER original? Perhaps those are the handles that came with the "Jewel" sets? The case and the razor are just beautiful.

SE Sunday's ShaveCold Water Wash Eureka Shaving Soap Jayaruh #18 Gem Jr. Bar Original Gem Cutlery SE CWR Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Eureka Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #18 brush. I did two passes with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
