Injectors, IMHO, are the best safety razors ever made. Little profit in selling durable blades, so carts became the rule. Were blades more easily available on a retail level, I'd use them more, possibly always. Thanks @RyX for the kind mention about Schick.
Guys... I want to publicly thank Neal (@NCoxSTL) and his awesome wife Jen for opening their home and hearts to me as I left Denver. They kept me from going some pretty dark places after I left Denver. Thank you, I am forever grateful.
Stirling SEptember!!! September 16 Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb Blade - CVS Carbon SE Soap - Stirling Black Ice Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip Post - Alum It's Menthol Monday! Soap of the day is Stirling Black Ice, the soap you want to eat (if you like black licorice). Great menthol kick on this one with that awesome scent and the Wolf Whiskers badger brush had no issues at all. Second day on the OCMM and it turned from the smooth and highly efficient tool to the beast today. Not really the razor's fault, though. I didn't set the blade in right and ended up with a scrape and a cut on my right jawline on the second stroke. I felt the roughness on the first stroke but just tried to adjust angle on the second. With the blade on top of the corner guards instead of in them - you don't get a smooth shave. Fixed it and completed two full passes and some touch up for a very nice high level DFS. Good enough. Still in the 90's around here. August in September. That's ok. Makes Menthol Monday that much more appropriate. Have a great Tuesday!!
