Jim, where would one acquire a Darwin-Stoll Jr. 3D head, if they were so interested?

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!

I made a wedge blade adapter for a friend and had to take it for a test drive before sending it out. Lucky thing I had the same design of razor he needed it for to be sure of proper fitment. The shave was great, I'll have to make myself one sometime soon so I can use it in several wedge only razors I have.

Today I grabbed the new HAGS and Shavemasters collab Flor de Dragones and the WR3.



I always look forward to grabbing a SE razor. And none do GEM any better than Wolfman. Perfect weight and balance it nimbly cut down three days worth of whiskers with ease. It really is a pleasure using!



Flor comes with all the performance you’ve come to expect from HAGS plus some. Slick, thick, cushiony! The scent was more floral than I expected but I don’t shy away from floral and I am really enjoying the development into different slightly sweet powderyness!



All in all a great shave! Have a great weekend everyone!
