Schick injector adjustable with Gillette platinum plus blade
St. James of London cedarwood and clarysage cream
Gillette Old Type "the spoiler" super stainless

I was right. The injector blade was worn out and barely made a decent pass. Finished off well with the DE.
 
Thursday

Schick Injector Dial Adjustable
Schick Blade (Holland)
New Forest 2201 Brush
Monsavon Soap
Clinique Post Shave Soother

All change, and very nice too.

Thursday

Gillette Tech (English) Ball End
Personna Red (4 and out)
Semogue 1305
Erasmic Supreme Stick

Aqua de Gio EdT

Two pass
Face lather

Good enough but the blade just got to the finishing post, hence only two passes.

I have rediscovered the joys of the 1305; it's been hiding in my draw for many months and I now recall why I thought it was so good in the first instance.

All in all, very happy.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Ever Ready badger
1970s L type Schick injector/Personna Twinjector (NOS)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Caron 'Yatagan' AS (1970s original version)

Second morning with this twinjector blade and another extremely close shave. For me, it's not quite as sharp as a few other blades I've tried, but still easy to use and man....my face is smoooooth.

BBS results,

Martin

iKon OSS
Feather
MWF
Semogue LE 2011 Best Badger 1 #69
L'Oreal After Shave Balm
Herve Leger Homme

This razor is equal (easily) in build quality to the Feather stainless for less money. But it shaves even better due to the traditional open comb end. When pared with a Feather blade and MWF it has no equal.
 
Thursday:

Pre: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Pre-shave Soap
Soap/Cream: La Toja stick on face, a dollop of Irisch Moos in the brush
Brush: Face lather with Elite Shaving 24mm Silver Badger Brush
Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline - a mighty fine little beastie!
Blade: Ted Pella PTFE Coated SE
Post: RazoRock Alum & Musgo Real ASB

Another great BBS experience with the Streamline, it's fast becoming my first choice...

This morning:

Imperial Leather soap
Feather Artist Club RG (wood), ProGuard blade (1)
Body Shop Maca Root cream
Neep English Yew Badger
Trumper's Coral skin food
Penhaligon's Endymion cologne


Very pleasant at the time - first experience of this cream - and no visible damage or tissue marking. On arriving at work forty minutes later, I am bleeding (slightly) in four separate places. Most peculiar.
