Caught the injector bug?Could I be added to the list please?
Thanks. No worries. Next in line is @Geofnay.Hi. Been away for a couple of days so not risked taking the Bunny. Will use it over the weekend then post it on. Apologies to all for the delay. If the next person on the list wants to pm their address.
So, final thoughts. It looks like something from a star trek movie (this is a good thing) and gives a nice close reliable shave consistently. I own several injectors and would be happy to add one of these should they become commercially available. I did not notice a great deal of difference between the notso and the wild but that may have been in part due to the ageing blade. Not a criticism as it does not affect blade retention but there does appear to be more play on one side of the copper top plate than the other. Perhaps 3 securing points rather than 2 would resolve that. All in all it has been a pleasure and a privilege to test this razor. Thanks to @twhite510 and @riverrun for facilitating this pass around. A barbicide bath and then I shall post it on.
Certainly.Could I be added as well please.
The Bunny has, indeed, moved on. 1st shave and 1st impressions. The razor is, as we know, beautifully engineered. It's lighter than I expected it to be and now has the odd sign of usage, principally some patina to the spring. I'm used to a longer handle, although I suspect anything more might throw the proportions out of whack.Certainly.
I've been told that the Bunny has moved on...
Any patina should easily come off in seconds with a mild polishing agent (Peek/Autosol/etc). The difference between the 'milder' later injectors you have and the Bunny is that the Bunny demands a very light touch (NO PRESSURE), whereas the later injectors let you get away with murder, although they also benefit from a light touch (NO PRESSURE). Use good prep (slick lather), always the correct angle and a light touch (NO PRESSURE) and the Bunny will give you the best shaves you can wish for.The Bunny has, indeed, moved on. 1st shave and 1st impressions.

Schick 'Chick' blade, T&H Grafton cream lather - glycerine rich, which I've gravitated towards lately and seemed apt, given previous reviews about the razor being aggressive. Cushion and slickness called for?
3 days' growth and I opted for the mild comb and, yes, the razor seems aggressive - although most of my experience with injectors comes from the mild side: type J, Golden 500 and Schick Stick. The Bunny didn't, for me, have an immediately intuitive angle (although I'd re-read the post of @Fergiebilly - 80 degrees). However, 2 passes later and I had a ridiculously close shave. Not perfect - I have a goatee (a 'door knocker' really) and I ended up with some razor burn on the left side, trying to shape it. Overall, though, a winner for me, so far. Next shave probably Weds.

Did I mention NO PRESSURE?
Sure.Can I please be added to the list as well? I'm on the list for the Schick Adjustable so I think that will be my first taste of injector shaving as this list is a fair bit longer, that should hopefully give me a grounding to compare the Bunny with?
