Vulfix 404 - mixed
Williams Mug Soap
Personna Super Stainless SE
Personna S/S [ 5 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

Back to the Injector rotation with a Razor that does not show its age, the rather controversial Personna as many love its looks but cannot get a Shave out of it. I was one of those for a long time, until I tried it with a Personna blade, now it works fine and I get a pretty good quality Shave with one as I did today.

Today i face lathered straight from the stick, basically reloading for each pass, it worked really well and i had a nice covering for each pass. if i continued with this, the stick would last forever. The scent is very very light on this stick so much so i did not really get anything from the lather, saying that it performed really well.
I really like this razor and it is very easy to use, i find plate #2 is just right for me, 3 passes today for a BBS finish.
The blade just starting to give some indications it could go any minute towards the end, therefore it has been "banked" its just not worth trying for more shaves, i normally stop at 10 with these Personna's and i will stick with that from now on unless of course i get indications earlier.
Maybe 1 more use left in the Barts Balm sample bottle:eek:, i have plenty though.
Stay Safe all and enjoy your day.
