Aggressive squat head 1912 (Minuteman?) .Great BUT this on my head just eats the PTFE blade. Still a marvelous performer but for a little tug ATG on my head like I get from the SE2.

January 12, 2019 -- Overall it was a very nice shave. This was my first time with the Heavy Flat Top (G-Bar), and I found it easy to use and maneuver. It didn't feel as efficient as any of the Micromatics on the first and second passes, but my well-used Treet (this was it's 9th shave) may be the contributing factor. Given it was the first time with the razor, I'm not going to jump to any conclusions, and while I've got some other criticisms boiling up in me, I'll hold them until I really get to know the razor. Here was today's setup: Razor: Gem Heavy Flat Top (aka the G-Bar) Blade: Treet (had 8 previous shaves) Brush: Yaqi 26mm Timber Wolf Soap: Men's Soap Company Bay Rum A/S: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum

Sat 12th Jan. RazoRock Plissoft 22mm Vitos Super Red Schick B1 Schick Proline [ 5 ] Pitralon Classic A/S lotion. A rare outing with the B1 , with the blade loaded by hand as I have not fully explored the loading mechanism, which I have partially opened up. Shave time was quite lengthy as the B1 is not to be rushed as it may well bite. By taking time and care the Shave was completed without mishap , and the finish was up there with the best. I can say in all honesty that my cheeks have never been so smooth, and all other areas are very good.Probably one of my best ever Injector Shaves.

SE Sunday's ShaveCold Water Wash De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap Jayaruh #331 Boar 1907 Gem Jr. Original Gem Cutlery SE CWR Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #331 boar brush. I did two passes with the 1907 Gem Jr. 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...

World class shave today with the Enders Speed/Proline. Dial-in of exposure is a trial and error affair due to the lack of blade stops but once you get the sweet spot it's superb.

How did you get an injector style blade to fit and stay put in that Enders Speed Razor? I want to know the same thing. I have shaved with an Enders with the original blade, and it is a great shaver. Wish they still make blades.
