Sunday. Good evening, Gents.
After a not so great shave on Friday involving a Personna injector and finished up with a 1912 Ever Ready, I gave my face a brief break. Stubble back with a vengeance, I couldn't stand it, so ...

Pure Badget Brush
GEM Micromatic/Personna [1]
Merkur 23C/Gillette Sharp Edge [1]
Hot Rinse

Brut Original Aftershave Lotion
WTG - PAL Micromatic/Personna
WTG/XTG - Merkur 23C/Gillette Sharp Edge
Trying another injector, I went with a single with the grain pass. Better, today, but still falling short of what I would have expected from a DE single pass with any number of blades I use.
I switched, made another with the grain pass followed by a cross the grain using my Merkur 23C and a fresh Gillette yellow.
Lovely job. The Gillette blade was smooth, sharp and without issue. I really enjoyed it!
Brut on, after. Sorted.
I think I'm going to give my face a break for a few days and enjoy my R41 at the end of the week. My Mrs likes stubble and once I'm over the second day (fencing night, could be problematic), I can tolerate it ... just. The promise of an R41/Feather shave will keep me going.
