You might want to try it, FYI below do it yourself recipe is so effective and soothing to minimize razor bumps, razor burn, irritation, and skin breakout.

Hi Bill,
I use the Schick Injector II. They're very good blades but I can't give a comparison as I've never used Gillette injector blades.
Cheers,
Kevin.

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Omega 11047 Boar/Badger
Soap: Stirling Spice
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Cold water rinse, Old Spice ASL

First use of the Mixed Midget and after the Wee Scot it feels like a monster.
A little bit of scritch and it eats the lather but I'm sure both of these issues will resolve themselves over time.
The Dammo works really well with the extra length and weight the 1914 handle affords it.
A very nice start to the week indeed.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 loaded with a Rapira Platinum Lux. Marvelous lather from the Stirling Electric Sheep shave soap. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
C.O. Bigelow
Jayaruh #284
Darwin Hollow Ground Safety / Schick E2
Darwin HG Razor / Schick Proline
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor with a Darwin Hollow Ground blade, and I just could not get a close shave. I ended up using my Schick E3 for clean up and ended with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
