Greetings Friday 24th May 2013 Prep: Shower Razor: Schick Injector E3 Blade: Personna Stainless Coated Brush: Semogue 620 Boar Soap: Wilkinson Sword Stick grated into a container Aftershave: Astral Cream (light) A good close but harsh shave. I find this E model Schick to give a harsher shave than all the later models but certainly not a better or a closer one, as a consequence I tend to use it very little. At least no weepers which is sometimes the case with this razor. It can now return to the back of my razor drawer for another three months! It is a shame in many ways that these are the most common models that appear for sale and as such are many first time injector users introduction to injectors and as a result many may be rather put off or disappointed with this style of shaver. This of course is just my personal view, others opinions may differ. Regards Dick.

Greetings Sunday 26th May 2013 Prep: Shower Razor: Schick M? Adjustable Blade: Gillette Platinum Plus Brush: Semogue 830 Boar Cream: Spieck Aftershave: Astral Cream (light) Super close and comfortable shave, my first use of the Speick cream, although I am very familiar with the soap; superb in every way, just like the soap only not such good value, arguably one of, if not the best performing creams I have tried. As always this is just my opinion and yours may differ; perhaps greatly! Regards Dick.

Gem Contour CVS CS Blade (1) Burma Shave Boar Brush Arko Shave Stick Mennen Skin Bracer AS
I was camping on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Had a very nice shave on Sunday using my travel kit. I couldn't believe the copious and super slick lather I got from the Arko stick using the ultra-soft water from one of our rain barrels. To say the Mississippi River water I'm used to shaving with is hard is the understatement of the century!
