    Or even the later Schick injectors... 60s, 70s, 80s... Looks like the hood is just a 90° bend over? Just a thought. I have two of the first variant Fashion Razors and they have the hump as well. Oddly, it seems to work great on my head but takes a lot of paying attention to and redoing strokes on my face, as is the case also with the Bunny V2. Maybe because on the head, I'm shaving in a different stroke direction? I don't know. The hump just seems to work great on the head but not so much on the face.

    FWIW, the hump has always been useful to me. It seems to help keep the optimal angle, just like the Hussy does. As a result both provide one of the closest shave you can get :bounce017:

    However, the PAL Injecto-Matic rivals that closeness without a hump so it can be done but I’d miss the distinctive design. :chores016:

    The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the B-400 Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V-3 Injector Razor with the NOTSO comb and a Schick Proline B20 Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Wonderful, wonderful shave with the Bunny V2. I like this version better. It’s a little heavier and I find the handle easier to grip. Same fabulous shaving head as it’s successor. I replaced the blade as it had been some years since it’s last use and remembered this time to switch to the MILD comb after the first two passes. However, the shave was sooooo close that the razor wasn’t picking up anything. So, I put in the NOTSO comb for a little further reduction and I am currently enjoying that smoothest of faces :happy036:

    Oh, and a little bit of whimsy. Here’s the infamous “Bunny Ears” first documented, I believe, by @Jayaruh

    I never tried that version with round handle, but I always liked the look of it better.

    I was going to make a smart a** comment like, “Who keeps random shaving photos around for years?” Then I remembered what’s taking up storage on my iPad :rofl:
