The ride home from work yesterday was interesting to say the least. 4-6 inches up north when I grew up wasn't a big deal to deal with. Down south here on winding mountain back roads with people unfamiliar with how to drive in this type of weather is treacherous. After some fishtailing and counter-steering up hills and around curves with sheer drop-offs I arrived home again fishtailing my way up my steep driveway. After the blood and color had returned to my white knuckles I was able to open a couple packages that arrived. Here's the view out my Kitchen window this morning.


My "White Whale" the Type F Injector was delivered and after a disinfecting it was up to bat this morning. I was a little nervous on some saying it is not known to be a great shaver. I found it more then adequate and my worries were set aside. Not as aggressive as my G Injector but with some attention to it got a great shave. I'm really happy with adding this to the den and if I can't polish it to the luster I want, I may send it out to get the brass replated in gold. My only conclusion of others unsatisfactory shaves is they were not happy with it when considering what they paid for it as it is rare and commands a premium when available. I fortunately got it for a very reasonable price although more than a typical Injector.

Fuzzyface Soaps Monkey Farts is a fun soap with a sweet scent for sure but I still enjoy it for what it is, a  "Fun" soap. Description is from the site:
We know you are expecting to read a disgusting description, but this unique complex fragrance is anything but disgusting! This unique fragrance begins with top notes of fresh bananas and juicy grapefruit, middle notes of kiwi, juicy bubblegum, and strawberries; and a hint of vanilla as a base note.

For a novelty type soap this is a good quality Tallow & Shea Butter soap that gave an easy thick creamy lather and takes water well without breaking down easily. I topped everything off with the best Lime Aftershave out there vintage or modern as far as I'm concerned. Avon Island Lime. It played well with the sweetness of the soap. Have a great day everyone and be safe !!!

Glad you made it home safely! And that razor looks like a looker! And, I imagine that view off the deck is a great one. Probably lots of furry and feathered visitors to the pond(?). Have a great day, Dave!

Thanks Eric and hope you have a happy day with the wife.

Oh man! Glad you made it home OK!

Beautiful I-type find! Is it solid aluminum with brass?

Thanks Chris, ended up with 6-8 inches total.

It's a Type F not an I. Made for @6 months from 1940-41 and pretty sure the handle is solid aluminum and a brass head. Little polishing brought it up nice enough I don't feel the need to send it out fr a remake. I'll do a little more another time. Hands started to hurt from the little polishing I did due to arthritis.

So staring winter in the face and refusing to back down I went for a mentholated soap by A&E. Nice interesting scent that could make you thirsty but whips up a great lather as seen in the photo after face lathering and what's on the brush for passes 2 & 3. Couple busy days ahead of me before going back to work Monday. Have a great day and better shaves everyone !!

Nice work. I hear you, brother, on the arthritic hands. Several years ago, I went to a doctor, wanting to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. X-rays showed "advanced multifocal osteoarthritis in both hands.

And that is a lot of heavy looking snow, like" heart attack" snow. We had rain all day and lost all the snow.

Better get yourself to a salon. You NEED a manicure. Yikes

Brush sacrilege in that photo! Brush abuse!

Quickly into the house and dried with a towel by the fireplace
