After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
1970s Schick M type adjustable injector/ Personna Twinjector (NOS)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation tallow version)
Compos do Jordao AS
Hermes 'Eau de Cologne' (vintage)
Interesting shave today when using these old blades. Years ago before starting the DE journey, these were my favorites in my go to injector. I'd tried maybe 6-7 various types and the Twins worked the best so I stuck with those for a long time. I wanted to revisit these for comparison after having tried a bunch more excellent vintage blades.
Man, I almost tossed this Personna because it wasn't as smooth and sharp as I remembered. Nope, compared to the other types I've used recently, the Twins were a bit of a rough road. Yeah, a little pulling was felt during the shave, and the results fall just short of BBS. Very good, but not great.
Heh, I bought many cases (12 packs of 6) of these blades years ago from ebay and sold a bunch off when the DE took over. I still have one NOS case and this might be a good time to unload em somewhere. No sense in me keeping em for myself.
nearly BBS results,
Martin
