I'm taking my newly rehandled Schick Injector G for spin. I don't use the injectors much yet, so instead of a fresh blade I finagled the slightly used Schick blade out of my other injector and loaded it up into this razor.
I liked the way that the TBS Maca Root worked with the Pyrate Cove Coconut, so today I'm doing a superlather of Mama Bear Toasted Coconut and TBS Maca Root. I am feeling the synthetic brush bug lately, so the Muhle/TGN synthetic gets to come out and play.
I have no idea if the razor being at a different angle due to the longer handle is the issue, or if this G type head is some how less aggressive than my other G type, or if the semi-used blade is to blame, but this shave took four passes, wtg/atg/xtg/atg. The longer handle made the Schick much easier to use, but the results were way too mild. I did get a DFS with zero nicks and zero irritation, but I will need to work out the issues before I can be happy with the performance of this razor. I'll try a fresh blade next time and hope for a more aggressive shave. The Maca Root and Toasted Coconut produced a nice lather, but the scent of the Maca Root overwhelmed the Toasted Coconut...an unexpected result seeing as the Pyrate Cove Coconut is a milder scent and it blended so well with the Maca Root. Overall an OK shave with room for improvement.
