Razor: Enders Speed Shaver
Blade: Schick (2)
Brush: Stirling Synthetic
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Pinaud Clubman
Fragrance: Guerlain Vetiver

Williams Wednesday Shave and it was a good one. Great lather and a nice smooth shave from the Enders razor. I flipped the shim and placed the blade further out where I could get the blade feel and efficiency I was looking for. Pic below showing the Schick Injector blades placement using an original Enders blade with a ground down edge for a shim/holder. Topped with some Clubman and Guerlain Vetiver. Ready for the day. Bring n the Coffee !! Have an enjoyable day Folks !!!

I don't mean to hijack the thread permanently ( Big Grin) but I do think this link may be of interest to you, as well as any others. I was interested what and when an Enders Speed razor was. This link has some 3D templates for adapting various modern blades. I didn't read it all, and I apologize in advance if it is garbage.

How to use an Enders Speed razor with modern blades

No problem adding that here for information purposes but I chose another route  Happy2
With the pressure that get's put on the ears of the blade I don't think a 3D printed option is good. I'm familiar with some having done that and know the owner of that Site from another forum. I prefer the use of the original metal blades with the sharp edge ground back a couple mm's and use it as a shim to hold the blade. I had some made better with jb weld but they were made by someone else that set it at the exposure of the original blade. I prefer more exposure to get a good shave and so just use the original blade ground a couple mm's to hold an injector blade in place as I did today. Not too much trouble and something simple I can do myself as others have. I have several tucks of the original blades so am all set.

Man, I think I have one of those razors sitting in a box somewhere. I still need to get some blades and actually try it out since I have never shaved with it.

The blades are useless. I need a current address.......the box is growing. Soap sample and a couple blades to use as a shim.

Razor: Gillette RFB SHaDE
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
Soap: Palmolive Stick
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Palomolive Splash
Fragrance: Dragonsbeard EDP

Early out the door for 3 appointments for my FIL at VA in Lexington.(2 and a half hours one way Dodgy) Great shave although this tall Oumo Boar never seems to have enough lather for the 3rd pass. Easy fix with adding soap from a shave stick. Great Palmolive lather and the RFB is just sooooo smoooooth ! Have a stellar Day folks !
