Shave 78 with a Personna 74 in the Bunny V2.2 was a success. This blade just keeps going. And Subtle Art Soap Draconis is a beautiful match for this spectacular razor and blade combo.

I have been comparing my G8 type and my E2 type (with movable spring) and it seems my G8 is a little more aggressive and efficient. I am surprised! Also even though the E2 feels milder, it is not as smooth as the G8. The G8 feels so smooth and mild, but takes more off on the first pass. The differences between injectors has been a fascinating subject for me. So many mysteries.
