Morning shave.

Baxters of California Face Wash, BBA Shave Oil, bloom water.
OSP Barbershop.
RazoRock Bruce 24mm Synthetic (face lathered).
PAL Injectomatic.
Chinese Schick (1).
OSP Barbershop Aftershave Tonic.
BBA Post Shave Balm.
YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme (vintage).

I acquired the PAL from my Enabler-in-Chief @wayne mattison about a month ago. But because of my ridiculously complicated razor rotation system, and various pass-arounds that came my way, this was the first time I got to use it. I have seen some members refer to the PAL as a 'Schick Buster'. I don't have enough experience with injectors to go that far but goodness, this was a great shave. Three very comfortable passes for BB smooth. The Injectomatic is actually quite aggressive. I presume it's ok to use the Japanese Twin Blades in it? Have a great Sunday chaps.

I think twin blades are not recommended in the PAL Injectomatic, I am sure that I read that somewhere on here.

SOTD 170917 (2).jpg

Blade: Feather soft guide #2
Razor: Cobra Classic (On Loan @Digimonkey )
Soap: NSS Lemon, Basel & Mandarin
Brush: Omega 30mm Synth
Bowl: Steve Woodhead
Post: P&B non scented Balm
Splash: DR Harris Traditional
Cologne: DR Harris Traditional

Second shave with the Cobra and this time I required quite a few touch ups or in principle a fourth pass to achieve a BB Shave. My first pass left a considerable amount of whisker which reminded me that I need considerable time to master this beauty. My angles were perhaps not quite there on the first pass. Audibillity is up there with the 1912 IMO.
I am going to have another couple of shaves with the Soft Guard blades before I go onto the Feather professionals and then further down the line the Schick proline that I do believe @Blademonkey is using and enjoying in his time with the Cobra.
Pleased to say though no blood was lost and absolute no irritation.

The brush and soap combo worked wonderfully with the use of the bowl. This brush is proving to be a definite face painter as apposed to the swirling technique and is unbelievably soft.

P&B Balm reminds me of the consistency of lip balm, quite greasy but eventually absorbs into the skin.
DR Harris as always is so refreshing.

Enjoy your shaves. :)

I have moved on to the Feather Pro Super but I feel for me the Schick Proline is probably the better blade in this particular razor.....YMMV! :)

No please don't! Not just yet anyway as I haven't used the feather Pros :D
Earlier on while shaving I started to get a nervous twitch when going around my "Adams Apple." Not a good sign, I know its only a matter of time before she bites me. ;)

EDIT: I just noticed this is my 666th post. I am doooooomed I tell you. :eek:
