I did a mix and match shave today of assorted items.
The JM Fraser's is now more a rubbery croap than a cream, but it still loads easily and face lathers well.
I kept the Parker Adjustable injector to its maximum setting of 5. It removed most of my stubble with two easy passes WTG and XTG with no irritation noted. However, I noticed a few missed whiskers and rather than do a bit of cleanup, I opted to do a full third pass ATG. Not my usual thing.
Alum was a bit warm overall but no real stinging anywhere and no blood.
Since it is Monday, I opted to do a Menthol finish. That called for the Osage Rub, followed by the ClubmanVIBR for a different burn.
Overall, a very good shave.
And now off for (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner...
