Razor : Enders Speed Razor
Blade : Schick Injector (1)
Brush: Razorock BC Plissoft Silvertip
Soap: Barrister & Mann Hallows
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Dragonsbeard Skin Food Splash
Fragrance: Dragonsbeard EDP
So I had a pretty Enders Speed razor in Yellow with the Chrome insert and maybe shouldn't have gotten rid of it. Picked up this black one NOS in the box with papers. The part I hated was trying to get the Enders modified blade to hold the injector blade where I wanted it without moving as well as straight. I saw someone that used JB Weld to make the modified Enders blade more dummy (Dave) proof. So I sent him 5 blades to do his thing with along with a soap and splash for his trouble.

Boom, I'm in business again. It holds the blade at a location I can feel it slightly in a sweet spot that cuts. I would have had it a tad more forward but it work and I got a nice drama free shave although I doubt it will last all day as I like. Face feels great but from experience I know it won't have the all day non-mask grabbing quality. Eric MaineYooper knows what I mean. The benefit is I don't need to go anywhere today. Just stuff around the house to care for. It's a fun razor and I love the handle shape but an actual injector would be more effective. The soap was a pif from Ken Fluffy and I'm thankful as I have been curious about this one but don't buy things that have bawdy or macabre etc artwork. The scent was in my wheelhouse and the performance was nice. Nothing to make it stand out beyond all the great artisans to me but a very good soap. I used my new to me scuttle and I thank Corey for the screaming deal on it. I feel guilty for the cost to ship it being nearly what he sold it for and hope if he ever see's a soap I have he wants a sample of or a razor to try that he let's me know. That's it folks, Have a GREAT day today !!

That is one nice looking scuttle! And I think my Razorock BC Silvertip synthetic is my second favorite brush, always does the trick.

Razor : Yates H PLate/Tatara Handle
Blade : Wizamet (4)
Brush: Mr.EE LE
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Vintage Williams Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Paco Rabanne 1 Million

Has been a long time since I used the Yates Precision Razor. I had got a Tatara Handle off the BST not knowing that their threading doesn't run all the way due to their locking method. It drives me nuts when makers design their product not to be universal. Can't thy look at all the Companies in the past that made their product proprietary and fell by the way side because of it. Any way I figured what did I have to lose at this point so took it to the bench grinder and then finished with a file to smooth it out and BOOM I had a handle that will work with my Yates Head as I don't really care for any of their handles. Got a great shave from the razor and would use it more if it was more interchangeable with things. Ironic that both companies make it hard to use other products with theirs but they are now a good match. I like the handle feel and look on this head much better. Vintage Williams Day and great lather was whipped up with the Mr. EE brush that has finally decided to get along with the knot and not spit it out Big Grin Hit it with the 1 Million and ready for the day. My typical Wednesday Morning and then take my Wife and Mother in Law in for us to all get our 1st shot of the Vaccine (Pfizer) It's up to you so try to, Make it a great day everyone !!
