Saturday 28th June 2014
Prep: Proraso Sensitive Pre shave
Razor: PAL Injectomatic
Blade: Personna Stainless Coated
Brush: Muhle Rytmo Synthetic
Cream: Body Shop Maca Root
After: Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm

First shave with the PAL injector, First pass was awful really draggy, thought yuk!
Changed blade what a difference nice dfs.

My only comment is that it feels so much like a cartridge razor, which I guess it is in a way, but fantastically easy to use and can see it becoming my go to razor when you are in a hurry.

My other comment would be get any soap at all on the handle and it becomes a bar of soap to hold, have stuck some rubber bands on to help with grip.

Glad I got to try one thanks to the BST.

Have a good Weekend

Paul

Rerun Shave ...

Yes, this is the same shave as last Saturday, hence the same photo. There was one difference between last week's shave and this version. This week a different blade was used with a Kriss Kross stropper.

The results were a smoother shave than last week which using the blade straight out of the package. Each blade was cleaned with scrubbing bubbles before use.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep;

ebony Brush by Brian
Schick F type injector/ Pal Stainless Steel (NOS...thanks Benefactor Bob)
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT


This brush loads soaps up real well. Much more backbone than any of my other brushes. The Safari was a pleasure as usual. The old Pal blade's good....one I could use all the time if needed.

BBS results,

Martin
