SOTD 18-24 September 2022

Today's shave was one I've been looking forward to for many reasons. A new soap to try, a new bowl to build lather with and another dance with the Type G I've so quickly fallen in love with. If you've been following my shaves you'll know that I only recently began shaving with single-edge razors. You might also recall that I spoke of a new love affair between myself and the lovely Type G razor. For all of these reasons today's shave was exciting for me.

I'm total I achieved a nice bbs shave with this setup today and have furthered my love affair with the Type G.

So far Single-Edge September has been quite fun. I've got some new single-edge surprises to come but you'll have to wait and see.

Take care gentlemen and shave on.

Indeed, injectors are something unique! It was several years after using DEs that I had my first injector shave, with a Type G. I couldn't beleive the quality of the shave! As many have said, it felt like cheating. But I soon added a few more and have settled on 4 now that I am thoroughly pleased with. Glad you discovered them!

I like that you said, "it felt like cheating." I agree it sort of does.

I'm also looking for more to collect.

I love the looks of the Durham razors but the proprietary blades are junk. You have to spend too much getting a decent edge on them and that's if you have the right gear to even attempt. AC style blades are almost as long so I decided to see if I can mod some to work. So far, so good. Used a Feather Pro this morning and had a fantastic, BBS shave. Happy to be able to bring some life back into a beautiful razor. I'll share how I modded this evening.
