    Wabbit V1
    Schick Chick [ 2 ]
    Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

    Second shave with The Wabbit, and again found it not overly aggressive but very efficient. However, if you stray off the head too much you will be punished and do not be tempted o rush. A Super close finish all round attained without any real problems so good to go tomorrow - using a Personna blade.

    Had a very good shave today on nearly a weeks growth. The J A Henckels Rapide handled the longer than normal stubble with ease.

    Personna S/S [ 1 ]
    Officina Artigiana A/S Lotion

    The Wabbit V1 seems to be a good Daily Shaver,as I have just completed my 3rd Daily Shave, without any major problems.
    The Quality of finish attained, IMHO is up there with the best any Razor using Injector Blades delivers. I did find the Personna blade more forgiving than the Schick [Chick]

    The Proraso Red Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher with a J.A. Henckels wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Schick Type J '500' injector & Type I Hydromagic injector, Schick Proline B-20, shave 7
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I went back and forth on the razors with the same blade to see what was going on since I initially thought they were the same razor shave wise. Well my initial impressions about both was correct the issue here is the blade. Depending how the blade sits on the stops determines how the razor shaves when it sits the same on both they shave the same and when it doesn't they don't. That problem because of the beveled edge of this blade should affect other injectors. Secondly the Proline B-20 doesn't hold an edge as well as a Personna or Chick blade. 5 to 6 shaves and it is done as this shave proved to me. I need to do one more pass with these razors and a Personna or any injector blade that doesn't have beveled edges to confirm they both are beard busters and not different razors.

    Faena -Sandalwood
    Wabbit V2
    Schick Chick [ 3 ]
    GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion

    Used the very Orange V2, which has changes to it which improve the relationship between the top cover and blade guard so one keeps the razor flat to the face, making the Razor a lot milder, and less prone to mishap. I felt that shave time overall was increased, but the quality of finish was still excellent.
