Tales From The Dark Side :)

Why do you need feedback? You wouldn't know an injector or a Feather AC was against your face. If you applied pressure, that's just your incompetence or inexperience. It certainly not the razors fault, at least you didn't complain about tugging. I do a three pass shave with a Mach3. Usually my first pass is with an injector.
Do you do multi razor shaves as well?
 
I have rosecea, and very sensitive skin. I burn with factor 50 on in ten minutes. So, it's quite usual for me not to shave for 4,5,6 days. At 7 days, the growth is too annoying. I use an injector for the first pass, going ATG on my neck. I then do a three pass shave with a Mach3, if not using another razor. WTG on my cheeks and neck, ATG/XTG on my cheeks for a BBS shave and a day looking purple.
 
I'm not sure I would contemplate an ATG first pass on 7 days' growth. Ever thought of using a beard trimmer to trim down the growth, then going WTG and XTG - and maybe stopping there? And dropping down to 2 blade carts, not 3?

I did use to use a beard trimmer, it leaves a nasty mess in the basin. I much prefer the injector, it is designed to go ATG. There is a 1930's instruction booklet on this site. I am very happy using a Profile Fixed or Pivot, just as I am a Feather AC. If I did fewer passes, I would still feel stubble. I enjoy a BBS shave, I just can't have one every day.

Did you just say Pivot??? Are you saying you have a floating head pivot injector?
 
Anyone tried those Harry's cartridge razors? Got ads for them all over my home page. The carts & fins / lube strips or whatever they are either side look colossal. How the hell do you shave under your nose with those beasts?

It's got a precision trimmer blade for sideburns and under the nose.
 
Thanks, but whilst I'm not exactly a tree hugger, I despise the thought of using a plastic disposable razor a couple of times then binning it.

When I used disposables I wanted to bin them after first use, and if they were cheap enough I did. It felt wrong and unhygenic to reuse a disposable plastic razor that always clogged with some amount of hair, soap and skin in its crevasses regardless how well I cleaned it. And the whole aesthetics of the aloe strip deteriorating... ugh.

Good riddance!

I used to have the very similar Cornerstone razor. First impressions were okayish and then I realised it was just plain crap in every sense.

Possibly the worse multi-blade I have come across. Far too large and far too flexible to be of any practical use and even Mrs Satanfriendly declared it useless

I can shave under my nose using a diagonal stroke, I haven't liked then as they are not smooth. It's not like they are tugging, but just feel uncomfortable. They with Bic are the worst cartridges. Dorco are better.

I actually get a decent shave from the BIC comfort flex and comfort flex hybrid 3 and 4. The 5 seems to have different blades that really tug
