There and Back Again, A Wet-Shaver's Tale

Love my new long comb but mine has the other handle and was reading through to see if you were selling that one LOL because I would have added it to my Den for sure. Good call on keeping it!

Thanks Dave! I only have a few DE’s, and several of them are cheapies like the Ming Shi Futur knockoff, which isn’t really even worth selling since shipping would cost more than the razor lol.

Right now there are 3-4 DE’s that I’d use consistently. The Rockwell 6c has topped that list for a while, though this New might actually take the top spot. The RR Lupo and Mag T Delta, at complete opposites ends of the aggressiveness spectrum, complete that list.

Yous guys is killin' me!  I joked just the other day about if any more people talk about how great NEW long combs are, I will be tempted to get one! And one nice fellow here offered me one!

Resistance. Is. Futile.

Lol that’s funny timing. This one was sitting literally at the bottom of a pile of paper wrapped razors that have been chilling in a storage box for over a year.

5/11/ SOTD

Razor: IN-JEC-TAH!
Blade: ?
Brush: Switchback 400 w/Gelousy knot
Soap: Ethos Grooming Greenfresh
Aftershave: Ethos Grooming Greenfresh
EDT: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet

I was pretty sure the injector would make the cut, but had to be sure. Yep, it's still a keeper. I'm still not sure what blades these are. They were given to me a few years ago by a friend who way overordered some from Amazon, and I've used them ever since. Not much more needs to be said about how amazing Ethos soaps are, and two passes and some clean up netted me a fantastic DFS, though there was a bit of irritation from being too heavy handed with a new blade in the injector. It passed quickly and there is only smoothness. A few sprays of Blenheim Bouquet topped it all of beautifully.



Going through the rest of the SE's next to see which will stay and which will go. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

5/12 SOTD

Razor: O.R.E.N.
Blade: ProGuard
Brush: Genesis
Soap: B & M Latha Limon
Aftershave: Ethos Greenfresh

Dug deep into some stored items for today's shave. The brush was the one that started it all. The first shaving brush I ever turned, and thus dubbed Genesis. I really miss B&M's Latha line. It is a great soap that performs well above it's price point, and Limon was my favorite scent from it, a very nice citrus rose. Anyway, on to the shave!

Today's contestant is the O.R.EN., and I have to tell you that this one was on the chopping block. I like it and it is a solid shaver, but like isn't enough for me to keep a razor anymore. Before putting it in the Sell box I decided to put the three dot head on, which is the most aggressive out of the three that come with the razor, and give it a final spin with the ProGuard that was already in it. Well, it is no longer going into the Sell box. That head and blade combination was magic. Two passes and some clean up left me with a stellar BBS, so this is another keeper.



There are still a few more SE's to go, and we'll see if any get sent away to a new home. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

My mind snags onto things sometimes.

I’ve been so close to pulling the trigger on a Nano Oren. Your post is not what I need to read Eric.

I can see this one being the ultimate ymmv razor. I can send it to you to try out if you like.

Not a favorite of mine and I wish I held out to get the one with the handle center removed like a potato peeler. I got the one that;'s filled in but had the other and let it go. I need the 3 dot plate and a Feather SUPER to get a decent shave. Only have it for the cool factor but extra points for the potato model as I call it. Give it a whirl Ken !

Dang you Dave. Don’t need you encouraging me
