Shave 1 with the Schick Injector Adjustable.
Many thanks to
@Steve Bowles and
@riverrun for giving me the opportunity to try this razor. It's my first shave with an SE injector, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
I whipped up a lovely lather with the MWF and bowl lathered using a RazoRock 24mm synthetic. I used a Personna blade.
The Schick felt very comfortable in my hand, probably due to years of using a cartridge razor. Finding the correct blade angle was intuitive. But I had to concentrate to retain the right angle when shaving across the grain. The razor was very manoeuvrable, and I found that I naturally shaved a little quicker than I normally would with a DE. 3 very comfortable passes on a setting of 5. Very close, but not quite BBS. I think that having read other members shave reports I should have gone straight in on setting 7. Zero irritation and my face feels great!
On the evidence of this first shave, I can see why SE injectors are still so popular. Perfect as part of a travel set up, or for when perhaps time is a factor. Or, indeed, just for the pleasure of using it.
I will be picking up a Supply Provision Single Edge from the post office tomorrow (also a pass around), so it will be interesting to compare and contrast.
@Blackmass kindly added a pack of Schick Injector twin blades to the pass around. How do you folks feel about a twin blade? Isn't that edging back towards 4-5-6 blade irritation? Interested to hear your thoughts.
