Yesterday was excellent and my first very close shave from the Red Tip so I kept my blade. Today was as good. Only needed one pass plus touch-ups

Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick G8 Injector
Blade: Personna Stainless Coated
Brush: Turkish No. 6
Soap: Tweex
Aftershave: Floid Balm
A perfect shave, I have lost count with how many shaves I have had from this blade (a problem with injectors when you leave the blade in and then use another razor) but it must be five or six.
Regards
Dick.

1st time with the EJ for a while. Thought I'd give it a run out for a few shaves to see if I want to keep hold of it. Managed to nick my chin.

First post in SOTD, and first try of the R41 - nice smooth shave, but I think it will be even better with a different blade
The R41 will definitely be better with a different blade, it really likes a sharp blade, and you certainly can't call a Derby sharp.

Brush: Shavemac D01 30 mm
Razor: H. Diamond, TOWA
Soap: MWF
AS: Stratos
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
I'm very happy to have obtained this razor (been wanting a H. Diamond for a long time) and it didn't disappoint. I think it was the fastest bevel setting I've ever done (and it took an excellent bevel too). Cheers Seth! Now it would be nice if I could be well too, this cold of mine seems to be determent to take the best of me (day 5 with high fever).
