Result - bank holiday mimsy shaves - excellent and interesting.
I'm fond of my vintage injectors - I find them great razors - the safest of 'safety razors' in use for me - if I need to be well shaved in the minimum amount of time - with no chance of claret - this is what I will reach for - you can toss them around your face with gay abandon - hurting yourself - would take some considerable effort - in my experience. My Schick I, L, N and O types live on the 'top tier' of the den - normally used with modern twin blades - so - I was delighted to be gifted the Injectomatic. Marketed - I'm told - as the 'Schick-buster,' - is this the case? Well no - but it certainly is different in some respects - feels the same in use - just as comfortable - but definitely more assertive - my usual two passes left me bbs without the need of a bit of a polish in the problem spots. Very impressive indeed. A keeper - for sure. So many excellent razors - only one face.
Jury still out on Copycat fragrances for me - certainly not bad - my other half has taken to the 'Tobacco Vanille' - it smells gorgeous on her - as a cheaper every-day alternative to her signature ADP Colonia 'Leather,' - I know - weird - its supposed to be for boy bears. See what you think yourself. The emails you get from them really get on my 'threepenny bits' - no, I will not 'reach out to you' Josh if I have a problem. Harrumph.
Enjoy your shaves one and all - yours - I.
@Barry Giddens - thank you mate - generous as ever.
Oh - I know next to bugger all about Injectomatic razors - a brief perusal of threads indicate that @Fergiebilly @mpf9ret or @Blademonkey might help me date and identify it - the head is gold coloured.
Simply stunning Clint.
