I think the G4 is my favorite of the G series razors. This particular one just gives such an easy DFS it's scary. I can whip this one around my face at super sonic speed (not really) without a problem or worry. So a great Friday shave was had and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

For some reason the Shovel Head felt hyper aggressive last night. Maybe the blade was on its last legs, but I really had to focus on a light touch and staying on the cap. In the end I ended up with a DFS, no nicks or weepers with just a spot or two of irritation. Followed up with a splash of AV Ice Sport which had a little bite to it, then the menthol kicked in and all was good. Have a good weekend my friends!

 

Very Sweet Karl!!! I Have eyed that rarely seen Personna British Executive - but never comes up and there is one But it now for like 100 bucks (no way)... But that is one nice looking injector!

 

The silver plated Wardonia with the first Bakelite head to use exclusively the Wardonia blade dates from 1929-31. My new punch works well to modify blades for it. She gets a little tuggy in some spots ATG but mostly an excellent shave. I need more practice with the unusual geometry.
