  Penn safety razor
Posted by: kyle3rv - 05-15-2021, 03:45 PM - Forum: Other SE brands. - Replies (16)

So I just picked up a Penn safety razor on a hunch. Well my theory was correct they can in fact securely hold injector blades. I haven't tried a shave yet. The razor can hold the blade with both a more aggressive exposure like in the picture or a much more mild exposure. You just slide the injector blade in and tighten the handle and the handle screw locks it in just like the original blades.

  Occam's SE
Posted by: Dave in KY - 05-14-2021, 11:14 AM - Forum: Non vintage SE and SHaDE razors. - Replies (6)

Friday May 14, 2021
Razor: Occam's SE
Blade: Feather Super (2)
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Fuzzy Face Monkey Farts
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
Fragrance: CK One
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 919

Brought out my Occam because of some talk on DFS about it. Got a great shave with dot 2 plate and a Feather Super. My problem is the shaves don't usually last as long for me and the long ears make a good XTG near impossible on the above the lip region. Still a fun shave with the Monkey Farts which is a cherry/banana bubble gum scent. I just like the name mostly but it is a good soap base. Taking the day off for things around the house that need attention. Have a great day Everyone !!

April is in the past. This week I will be breaking out my Enders Speed Razor.
Here is Saturday's shave. 

[Image: sos210501.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
START Shave Cream
Jayaruh #403 Synthetic
Wood Handle Enders Speed Shaver
Schick Proline 20
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

The START Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #403 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Wood Handle Enders Speed Shaver razor with a Schick Proline 20 injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  Who’s that Knocking at Your Door?
Posted by: HighSpeed - 04-29-2021, 06:14 PM - Forum: Sign in sheet. - Replies (17)

Hello everyone.  I’m Mike aka HighSpeed, and I’m very glad to be here.  I’ve been traditional shaving since 2014, first with DEs, and then adding SEs and shavettes.  My wife and I live in Virginia with our Golden Retriever, Jack.  When I’m not shaving, I enjoy fishing, beautiful things, intriguing ideas, and an occasional glass of good wine or whiskey. 

I expect to learn a great deal, I will contribute as well as I can, and I look forward to sharing in the good times (and even the not so good ones).  Thanks for having me.

  Vintage Electric Razor !!
Posted by: Dave in KY - 04-29-2021, 11:11 AM - Forum: Non vintage SE and SHaDE razors. - Replies (9)

So hopefully this is okay here. This electric razor was designed to use ANY standard Safety Razor Head on it and I chose to use my RFB Modified SE Razor so as to share with y'all. If not allowable feel free to remove it.

So here's some info I found about this Vintage Electric Safety Razor and a pic of a complete set.
Racine
Racine (a town in Wisconsin USA) is famous for its lighthouses, but even more for its important role in the development of small electric motors. Several manufacturers of electrical products were established in Racine. The Racine Senior DeLuxe and the DeLuxe Esquire were manufactured by Racine Universal Motor Co. in the 1940s. This company's policy was to produce the motors for various products, and have specialised manufacturers produce other parts, like in this case the Gillette Company the shaving head. Racine Universal Motor Co. already existed in the 1920s and also produced hairclippers (brand Race and others), hairdryers etc. The company sold its OEM-products to various wholesalers, like W.L. Henne of Erie (PA USA) who sold the razor as Vibo-Shaver.

I had completely forgotten that Ordinaryshaver had set up a youtube channel at tost2.  I have asked him to remind me of the sign in information. Would anyone else care to post some content once we get it kicked off?

Tuesday April 27, 2021
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (1)
Brush: The Hive  
Soap: T&S Sicily 1508.5
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: T&S Sicily
Fragrance: Avon Premiere Luxe Oud
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 902

Amazing shave with a fresh Proline in the Vector. Hit the Sicily 1508.5 again to have tomorrow free for Williams Wednesday. The Sicily is giving the broken pieces at times on the face when lathering but I just repressed it in the tub so we'll see if it continues again next shave. Just a few shaves left for it. The Avon juice is nice but doesn't seem to have duration but still a nice scent. Happy shaves and day Everyone !
