This was an excellent Schick F shave. Draconis Ignis was a great choice for a hot day.
I really like this Schick F and the battle scars it has. I purchased it and a Schick type A in similar condition as well as 2 other razors from a gentlman who lived through flooding in 2016. There was 5 feet of water in his house, and he had to be evacuated by boat. Some of his razor collection didn't make it, but he was able to save a large part of it. Some days, I feel the way this razor looks, a bit rough around the edges, but I keep working.

This is the Schick A that went through a flood with the Schick F I used the other day. They both have some battle scars, but they both shave great.

The L'Occitane Cade Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #474 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher and the Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
