Hi, thank you for approving my membership. About 3 or 4 months ago I started collecting and shaving with vintage unmentionables after a bad new one .I was looking up info on my new to me 1961 one on and found a YouTube video from Shaving With Fuzzy. After that video, his SE shave's starting popping up as suggestions and tost3 channel ,and other members here YouTube channels . Well I figured I would give SE Razors a try and picked up 2 Schick injectors ( I2,E2 ) from my local antique store and ordered some blades I got awesome shaves with them .Well its snowballed into gem's, Eveready's ,and Valet's .I have looked here many times for times as a guest for info about razors ,I though it was time to sign up .

Starting June 13, I will be using two of twhite 's creations: The Bunny V3 Injector Razor and The Bunny B-400 Badger Brush.

I will be using a Supply Black Label blade. Here is Monday's planned shave.

My first Rubberset brush. The first two pictures are the condition it was found at an antique store in. The rest are after cleaning up and putting a textured scratch pattern on it. It already had some pitting and a few dings so I chose this look instead of trying to polish it up. I installed a Zenith Boar knot taken from a spare brush I had. I really like my other three Zenith Boars so I figured this would be a great knot for this resto-mod.

                   

For quite some time now I've had a computer that was limping along. It started the downward spiral that I didn't notice but  got so bad that I couldn't even do a speed test. One day it worked better and a speed test showed me 177kbps. It's supposed to be 200+mbps. Between Spectrum and myself we got it up to 2+mbps; still not right but I could do more online. What suffered in the meanwhile was opening emails and such. The tech' just got done fixing things and I now have 400+mbps. A small difference from 177kbps. The problem was a splitter that wasn't necessary as a connector between the incoming line and the line going to the modem. I've never had much over 200mbps and that was fast enough. The computer is at mach 6 now.

I don't know if the rest of the country is like Maine, but if you go into a Mom and Pop store you're likely to find a gallon jar of pickled eggs on the counter. Recipes vary but what follows is my version. 
Pickled Eggs

3 dozen large eggs
6 cups White Vinegar
2 cups water
2 medium to large onions, coarse chopped
5 cloves garlic, coarse chopped

1 gallon jar

Optional:
1 Beet for color
4 Ripe Scotch Bonnet Peppers, coarse chopped
2 generously rounded TBL crushed red pepper

Add ½ of the  liquid and all coarse chopped flavorings to jar. Hardboil eggs, then shell them and add the eggs to the jar. The eggs should all easily fit in the jar and be covered by liquid. If desired a skinned, sliced beet can be added for color, the pickling juice should be much darker than the desired egg color when you remove the beet slices. If the beet is small enough removal of the beet may be unnecessary. Allow to sit at room temperature for 2-3 weeks for the pickle to fully absorb. Shelf life should be a few months, but they won’t last that long. I’ve kept them refrigerated for years and they make the very best egg salad when they get super pickled.

Add salt and pepper as desired when eaten, a good hot sauce is also good on them if the hot peppers aren’t added to the jar. I think they make the best egg salad.

4 dozen of our eggs makes two ½ gallon jars with a few left over.

Note: I now use 5 parts vinegar to 1 part water. I also don’t add any heat to the pickle. Instead I just use hot sauce for every bite. That way those folks who don’t like heat don’t need to have it.

Another video posted at TOST3. Just a easy clean DFS with The Deb. I like these more then the H1 actually.

   

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #426
Gillette Injector
Personna Injector
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave
The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Injector Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Last week, I used six different Schick injector razors. This week, I have scheduled six injector razors that are not Schicks. I started off with the Black Handle Pal injector razor. It was an excellent shave.

Monday - Black Handle Pal


Tuesday - White Handle Pal


Wednesday - Gillette Injector


Thursday - Personna Injector


Friday - Parker Adjustable Injector


Saturday - Supply V3 OC Injector


Sunday - Well, Sunday is for lather catchers.

Today, I had my last shave with Mitchell's Wool Fat for May. I had decided to do Mitchell's May, but I didn't want to mess with Menthol Mondays, Tabac Tuesdays, or Williams Wednesdays. So, it was Mostly Mitchell's May. I got in  17 shaves with the Mitchell's. So, that was more than half the month with Mitchell's.
