After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields white cap badger
mid 70's Schick M type adjustable injector/vintage Schick Platinum Plus
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
TGQ 'Leatherneck' extrait
Once in a while the injector calls to me, and I wanted to try a new to me blade anyway. This one's a vintage variety that is still available on ebay sometimes. I heard really good things about em and this was the time.
Well, I'm gonna try it again tomorrow, but so far it's better than good, but not great. Who knows, maybe my lather was off (which is doubtful), or possibly I mighta just got a bad blade. I've heard that can sometimes happen with the first blade out of the pack because of it's long exposure to the air. Anyway, we'll see what happens this next shave.
Still fun using this goofy little plastic thing. Quite a different feel from using a DE, but not in a bad way. It's also nice to be able to dial this thing in, just like I would the DE adjustables.
BBS results,
Martin
