Injector and SE Shaves

Wow, Jim, that is one “purty” shaving utensil!

 

Thanks Jeff. It's as much a piece of art as a razor.

For most of the past year, when I use an injector it's been my Golden 500. But a couple months ago, I decided to go back and try one of my most neglected ones. It's one of the common G types. It's a touch more aggressive and it's giving me great shaves. Funny how your preferences change over time. When I got that razor early in my wet-shaving journey I thought it was a little more aggressive than I wanted and it gave me irritation sometimes. Now that my technique is more refined it's a sweetheart.
