Today: Triceratops with black top, black handle.

Two passes and touch ups with the Triceratops 3D Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.

Parker adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 8


Razor set at 5. Shave was close but on the wrong side of the BBS fence. Blade should have lasted at least 10 shaves before it dropped off which highlights the major shortcoming of this razor. It is too mild exposure wise else the blade should have lasted longer which the Schicks do for me in other mild injectors.

Final thoughts it is a great razor even with it's shortcomings for someone new to injectors and don't like to use D.P.R. (Dead People's Razors) in the sub $75 realm coming in at $32 with blades as of this posting. Just make sure if it isn't performing to expectations even after dialing it up to 5 to also use a Schick blade in it besides the Personna blades it comes with. A sharper blade will increase the performance for that reason alone as I can attest to.

 

Never seen an injector blade frame. Very interesting as is the razor.
Is the injector blade frame something that came with the razir originally or did you add it?

 

To highlight the blade exposure here is Parker and a Schick Type L Easy Rider together. See how much more blade exposure the Easy Rider has and it is a milder razor than the Parker when it is set to 5.

 

Schick adjustable injector, Schick injector blade, shave 9


This one was never formally designated and can be identified by the all the plastic handle without any stickering on it. This style was produced in the 1980s with this one produced between 1982 - 1984 since it has a logo stamped on the razor head. Razor was set to it's most aggressive setting. This shave was to prove to myself that this blade still had a shave or 2 left in it and wasn't spent. BBS finish achieved but barely and point proven to myself that a milder razor like the Parker adjustable which I used prior on shave 8 doesn't allow for you to get the most longevity out of a blade.

Schick Easy Rider injector, (S)chick blade


One last shave with this razor before it gets sidelined for awhile. Razor is definitely not what you'd expect. It outshaves your standard fare Type L Schick injectors while being milder. End result BBS finish achieved.

 

Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Barbasol Original Shaving Cream
Burma Shave Boar
Schick L
Personna Injector
CWR
Barbasol AS

This week I am going back to the 60s. I am going to try one pass shaves like I used to do. I may even do a second pass in the PM.

The Barbasol Original Shaving Cream was applied with the Burma Shave Boar. One pass and touch ups with the Schick L with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

This was my first shave of the new year. I went with the Gem Bullet tip with guiding eye. I don't use this razor often because it's a milder razor. But with a little extra work it delivers a great shave.
