This is my favorite injector. It was the first I owned and coming back to it reminds me why I like it. Nimble, easy to maneuver, and efficient. Great razor design. Enjoy your day!

Tue 30th Oct Stirling Syn. 26mm P & B Pall Mall Schick E2- Canada Schick S/S Single -Japan [1 ] Bay Rum Splash- made b a friend I thought my Shave yesterday was good with a modern SE, but today the E2 loaded with fresh Schick [Japan] blade, matched in ease of Shave and quality of finish.This Razor could well be usurping the PAL injecto Matic as my favourite Injector [ confined to use of a single blade ]. Best I load one up with a similar blade to be fair.
Auto Strop with Feather Artist pro blade. I used the premium shave soap from VDH and got a good shave. It was not a bbs, but I wasnt shooting for bbs, I just wanted a shave that was irritation free.

Wed 31st Oct Omega 11126 boar Williams Mug Soap PAL Injecto-Matic de Luxe Schick S/S Single- Japan [ 1 ] Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion Tried the PAL today to see how it compared with the Canadian E2 shave yesterday. Will require a few more Shaves to determine which is my No1, as todays Shave was also very good, smooth with an ultra close all round finish. I know these Shaves have been done with a fresh blade, but the quality of finish is as good if not better than some I get with SE razors. Just a shame that the blades are so expensive.

WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY Razor: Autostrop B1 Military set Blade: Gem CS Brush: unknown small Boar Soap: Williams Luxury Tablet AS: Aqua Velva Great 3 pass shave with the classic software. For those who have not tried an early Autostrop. Do yourself a favor and try one. Very underrated razor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Thur 1st Nov RazoRock Syn . 22mm Speick Active soap PAL Injecto - Matic Schick Proline [ 1 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion Today I used another PAL, this one loaded with a fresh Schick Proline blade. Though it is an AC blade and not quite as long as a standard Injector Blade, I have used them in a variety of Razors without any problems. I found with this blade, the Razor felt more aggressive than yesterday with the Japanese blade. However, the Shave was not uncomfortable and was completed without any problems, and a finish equal to that of yesterday. If I get results like this from the Schick Proline, I see no need to purchase the more expensive Japanese blades.
A Gold tone Gem MMOC landed yesterday. It's in pretty good shape and seems to have seen very little use. Maybe it was reserved for a special Sunday shave ! Loaded the Personna PTFE blade on its 7th shave from my other MMOC which seems to have seen quite some use in its life. Razorock products as in the image resulted in a smooth two pass BBS shave. The blade has become very smooth yet hasn't lost its sharpness ! I love the post shave soft skin feel and zero irritation with the razor. Enjoying the MMOC shaves ! Sent from my MI MAX using Tapatalk

Pre: Warm water splash Brush: Shavemac TSR 2015 LE Soap: Tabac Razor: Colonial General Brass Blade: Feather Pro Super Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tabac ASL Due to OCtober and trying out loaners it's been quite a while since I've used the General. I won't make that mistake again, it's no way to treat an old friend. Happy Shaving one and all.
Since I have the pictures done here is the Sevette formally known as MMOC. This one is slated for use on SE Saturday and Sunday.
