FRUGAL FEBRUARY

[DesertIguana]

Could not be more Frugal, as the Razor was under $30.00 - Pre War Fat Handle Tech, Brush- Omega 10019, list is $5.00, but was under $4.00 on Sale with Discount, Blades were $2.25/Pack of FIVE bought Black Friday, and the Soap was FREE BEE that Appeared Unopened Never USED from last AZWetShave Meetup P.I.F. Table. This has been my setup the last two days.

Razor: Schick Krona black tip
Brush: Yaqi Milk Tea
Blade: Dorco Titan (2)
Soap and AS: Stirling Ramblin' Man

I feel like there isn't a lot of love for vintage Schick Krona razors so you can often find them for just a few bucks, which is a shame because they are fantastic shavers.

I feel like the loft is set a bit too high on this brush, it doesn't have much backbone and feels a bit floppy. This makes face lathering a little more challenging. I might have to try it again with a bowl lather.

Happy shaving!

Razor: RazoRock BBS OC
Blade: Sharp Titanium
Brush: Hardright Anchorset
Soap: Palmolive shave stick
AS: Skin Bracer Dry Lime

The knot in the Anchorset is a first gen synthetic and is therefore a little scritchy compared to newer synthetics. It made face lathering the Palmolive shave stick a bit uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if that irritation followed through to the shave or if the open comb baseplate isn't as smooth as the safety bar but the BBS didn't feel as smooth and forgiving as it normally does.

Razor: Schick Injector type I1
Blade: unknown
Brush: Wild West Brushworks Jungle Ebonite
Soap: Palmolive SS
AS: Pinaud Lime Sec

I haven't shaved with anything other then a DE in probably over 3 years. This razor was sitting in its storage box with a blade already installed so I said why not. I forgot how loud injectors are. Shaving with this thing sounded like Velcro bring pulled apart. Other then the audible feedback the blade was smooth and still plenty sharp.

Happy shaving and goodnight!
