Proraso Sapone
Simpson 3 "Chubby" Manchurian
1955 A1 Gillette President
Personna Med Prep (2)
Proraso AS & Balm

It's great fun being able to vary my shave gear again this past week.
I am still working my way through the Proraso products. Probably another week or so of shaves and they'll be used up.
The President has a really well-balanced handle/head ratio. Its taller head makes shaving under the nose less simple than with the Milord Tech, but still provides an excellent shave.
The Proraso Green AS and Balm have an attractive, citrusy scent that has surprisingly long staying power.
When they're gone I won't be replacing them anytime soon. (Certainly not in this calendar year)
Have a great day!​

Three Pass Shaving Routine..

Hot Water prep & massage with Coconut Oil
Bunny V 3 Adjustable Injector
Chinese Schick Injector Blade New
Leon Hardy Pure Badger
Monsavon Bol Tallow Soap
Thayers Original Witch Hazel

I had My First Shave with my Bunny V 3 Injector today that Tom Kindly sent me as a present for being the Test Pilot for his V 2..I loaded the V 3 Injector with a Chinese Schick blade..I utilized the NOTSO Comb for a 3 pass shaving routine..I had 2 days of whiskers to cut down & went for the Money Button BBS Dolphin Smooth Shave..I have heard it said that there is No such thing as the perfect shave..Well..Maybe Aye..Maybe Hook Eye..Cause I am sitting here with an All Over Dolphin Smooth Result..I don't mean from North to South & form East to West neither..I mean in every Darn Direction..

The Bunny V 3 is a lot Lighter than the V2 ..The Handle has a smooth polished finish & I had no problems with it slipping in my hand..It shaves the same as the V2 & I Love it to Bits..There will undoubtedly be Wee Individual Quirks that each individual has that they may or may not like to see in Toms Injector..All I can say is for me its perfect in every way..Some folks may find the Bunny strange to load at first because they are mainly used to Schick Injectors with looser heads..I reckon once you get used to that Difference that will be it..The Bunny Injector has a Tighter Head like some of the American Safety Razor Company Injectors so just be aware of that One

Thank You Tom for sending me the Bunny V3..I am in Love with Two Bunnies now..I will be getting Sued for all over the Darn place for Bigamy soon..

Billy..

 

That handle looks like a beast!
