Injector & SE Party !!!

Thanks, Buddy. To be able to get that kind of smooth out of a razor that isn't especially prone to bite, is awesome.

The funnest part is that a guy can get into a pretty decent injector collection for about the cost of an EJ89.

Exactly right. Your E2 looks to be in great condition too.

 

Very lovely piece of kit there, my friend....You know, I had heard all that gossip about how over the top these 1924's were suppose to be....In fact when I got my first one I was a little nervous...but that razor design is perfect! I fell in love from the first stroke!

 

SE's and Injectors are one of the best kept secrets of the shaving World.....They are such a pleasure...

Marvelous shave with the PAL Adjustable this morning loaded with a Dutch Danglies blade. Excellent lather from the Speick shave cream. Highly recommended. Three refreshing passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends.

 

Nice photo Roby!

 

Thank you Jim, have a great day brother!

Blade: Chinese Schick
Razor: Schick L1 injector
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Stirling Barbershop
Post: Witch hazel splash, Stirling Barbershop aftershave, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

The L1 is working quite well for me. The G1 is still my favorite but the L1 is a nice, mild razor that works well for my workday shaves. My beard growth is fairly light and I don't need something aggressive for daily shaves. The L1 works well in that aspect.

Have a great day!

 

Perry, how are you liking the Barbershop soap? I have a puck that I haven't used yet. The scent is quite nice.

 

I'm enjoying it! The scent is nice, as you say. The performance has been good so far. I think my badger brush might be better than the synthetic I've been using the past couple of days. I need to use it for comparison. But the lather is fairly slick and protective. I'd say try it sometime soon!

 

Pal Adjustable and Schick blade delivering another nice BBS shave.

 

I had no intention of using a background as my laptop display is now black, backlight or inverter needs replacing. But before I took a photo with my camera, I realized there was a theme there so I looked up a Tall Ship image and used it. Have my laptop connected to my TV til it's fixed.

 

Way to improvise!

 

plus everything is so big on a 50 in. TV

 

Questions for you guys:

1: Are all the Personna/Pella injector cartridges (plastic) so stupidly difficult to feed blades?

2: Do they get easier to use when they don't have so many blades in them?

3: Can you re-load them into an empty Schick cartridge?

I haven't used either the Personna or Schicks enough to know which I prefer in which razor yet, but if it just is that way with Personna's I won't be buying anymore.

I think I used those 3 times and tossed the whole cartridge. I hate those Personna blades!

 

If you're careful they can be reloaded. They load up fine in my Schicks.

 

Thanks. It looks like they will go in fine, was just wondering if they feed out okay.

If a razor's head is really tight the Personna magazines can be hard to use and I've even pulled the plastic housing off while trying to remove it. Usually, however, they aren't a problem. It's a good idea to try different blades in different types of razors as there can often be a significant difference in the shave. YMMV but for me the Personna tends to amp things up a little bit - so I find it works better on milder razors.
