Injector & SE Party !!!

Saturday Shave

Brush- AOS Fine Badger
Razor- PAL adjustable
Blade- Precision ER Products/Schick
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel
Stirling Barbershop Aftershave

I don't know who they marketed these ER blades to but I feel sorry for them. Absolutely horrible, it felt like I was scraping my face off. I thought maybe I loaded the blade wrong and loaded another. It was equally horrible. I got half my face done and switched to a Schick blade, much better, I finished BBS. This was also my first try with a badger brush, @wmbjr sent me this wonderful brush and I really liked it. It loaded easily, lathered great plus it felt good on my face. Everything else worked great. Finished up with the Stirling Barbershop aftershave and feel great. Have a great day folks!

 

Sorry about the bad blade Ben but way to save the shave buddy!

 

The Pal Adjustable was my first injector razor, and almost 50 years later it's still my favorite. I've never heard of the blades, but they remind me of a recent experience with some NOS Personna Precision blades, not to be repeated. Under a microscope the blade edge looked like a rip-saw. I've gotten better shaves from hardware store SE blades.

 

I'm glad I tried them. My brother in-law is flying in tomorrow and I'm setting him up with a Schick Type G, RazoRock Plissoft brush, IB Amici soap and I was going to give him these blades. I'm going to give him my last set of Chinese Schicks instead. I would have hated starting him off with these blades.

 

He's gonna be setup right!

 

I love it so far. I got a week or so ago, and have used it mostly since. Even though I have acquired a few razors recently, I am actually working on identifying the ones I really want, so I am trying to spend the rest of the year shaving with each one and really focusing on the differences in shaves between each. This was one of those razors I had always wanted to try, so it is getting a lobg trial. So far, it is in the keeper column.

 

I have Gotten them with a PAL Injecto Myself but Dunno what they Are...Maybe it Means "Ever so Rubbish" because they Are..

Billy..

 

Good one Billy!

 

Billy..

 

I agree 100% with you. I tried them this morning, I think I'd rather use a belt sander over these blades.

 

Today's Shave: Saturday August 13, 2016

PAL Injecto-Matic (British made)
NOS Personna 74 (4)
The Grooming Co. synthetic brush
Stirling Electric Sheep soap
Old Spice aftershave

I usually do a 3 pass shave and then touch up a couple of trouble spots. Today I discovered that with this razor/blade combo I can skip the 3rd pass entirely. Two passes plus a little touch-up here and there and I have a near perfect BBS Shave.

The PAL Injecto-Matic rocks!

Saturday


Razor: Personna Injector w/ Chick blade
Lather: Barbasol Arctic Chill
Post: Barbasol Brisk and an ice cold root beer

Wonderful shave with my new Personna Injector razor. Despite being the most mold Injector razor i have used (with the exception of the Schick Adjustable at a low setting), it was very efficient. In 3 passes and not a single cleanup stroke left my face smooth. The Barbasol Arctic Chill was simple, easy, and provided great cushion and glide. I toned down the Barbasol Brisk splash with some witch hazel because it's burn is a little much for me, even with an irritation free shave. It left me cool and refreshed. Then I enjoyed a great IBC Root Beer that the wife picked up. It has been a wonderful Saturday. Enjoy your weekend and your shaves to come!

 

Very good review of your shave Con.

 

Thank you Doug! I'm planning on using this sleek looking razor for the next few days

 

Let us know your opinion of it after you finish. Thanks.

 

Wow! You should try some scrubbing bubbles on that razor. It'll do wonders!

 

Haha I appreciate your sarcasm

 

Hey, I always mess up my posts due to spell check on this darn phone. Technology can be very troublesome.

You should have seen some of the texts I've sent my wife in the past. I've cursed her out and all I was trying to say was have a nice day!
