    Even though I like using my other Gem razors (1912, Pushbutton, Featherweight, Micromatic OC), the G-Bar is my favorite. For me, it's weight and balance are perfect and I always expect great shaves from it. And today was no exception as it delivered a very smooth and comfortable three pass BBS shave.

    After good Shaves with both PALs, went back to the Supply. Even on 3 dot, it feels quite mild. However it is so smooth, that one can do those essential polishing passes to get a nice close Shave. Some 12 hours on , I am surprised at how clean shaven I feel.

    Weighing in at 143g the Claymore is a heavyweight. If you have a light touch, that weight can be used to great effect to get a super smooth shave. Particularly good around the neck, which is a surprise considering the weight.

    Great lather again from Route 66, although I'm experimenting with this brush and got the lather a little too wet. I think this brush needs a good soak before using. I also bloomed the soap and all of that was a little too wet. But, it whipped out pretty well and made nice, slick lather. The shave with the PAL Adjustable was much improved from last time! No blood today. That sensitive area on my lower neck was a tad red but I think it has since subsided. I went nice and easy with the pressure and really focused on the angle. Nice results in the end.

    Have a great day!

    The PAL Adjustable is quite a different injector than the Schicks I have. However my shaves with it are improving. It will give you a close shave but I have to really watch angle and pressure. I haven't moved from the middle setting so I need to experiment more with the other settings to find my favorite. Pretty nice shave regardless.

    Have a great day!

    I need to be clean shaven in the morning and most of tomorrow but won't be able to shave in the morning - so I pulled out my blue-necked PAL Injecto-Matic. The PAL IM, the Hussy, and Bunny are the only razors that can leave me passably clean shaven nearly 24 hours later. It's been a while since I had the pleasure of shaving with one of my PAL IMs and it was pure pleasure. :happy036:
