Break From Injectors- Back to a 1912.
Am amazed at how smooth and forgiving this Razor can be when fitted with a Shim even with a fresh blade.
Such a good shave today, did not even bother with my habitual Alum Rub/Rinse. Think must dig out the Damaskeene to compare the two directly.

A little bit rough this morning, I'm putting it down to the first use of the blade. I find they can be a bit rough for the first shave.

Good morning everyone. After a seemingly endless run of perfect shaves today I had an uncharacteristically bad shave today. Two nicks which promptly closed up with the ice water and one cut under my left nostril that bled for a bit. Examining my shave there are only two things i did differently today. I snatched a Personna blade off my den shelf unsure of how many shaves are on it (I generally toss a blade after one use) and I used a PSO by Shea Moisture Shave which I really hated in the past, (tossed it in the garbage). For my third pass I reached for the N1 injector and salvaged this shave ending in a true BBS. Back to the drawing board tomorrow. Have a great day and a great weekend in advance guys. :)

Given that I easily get five or more shaves from a Personna blade, with the second and following shaves being better than the first one, I'm always surprised when people toss the same blades after one shave.
