After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Savile Row badger
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
The Soap Opera Himalaya
Neutrogena oil free moisture
RL 'Safari' EdT (old juice)

This silly injector has captivated me again these last few days. Made me rethink my opinion of short handles and I do like how this one feels in my hand. I think it has to do with the handle being made of metal.

Anyway, the crazy thing gives me a top shave and sometimes I will get in a groove. Been using this razor a bunch recently.

BBS results,

Martin
