    Cyril Salter Solid soap
    PAL Injecto-Matic
    Schick Proline [ 7 ]
    Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

    As a follow up to use of the PAL Adj. just had to be the Injecto-Matic. This has a reputation of being a harsh Razor, but use of a Proline Blade calms it down no end. The Shave was pleasant enough but the quality of finish was somewhat lacking, as maybe the blade tailing off. The Adjustable with a blade also on its 7th use was a much better Shave, and felt good for more use.

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Valobra Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #285
    Supply Provision
    Schick Proline B20
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Mennen Skinbracer

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #285 brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Mennen Skinbracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    The best shave yet from this razor and I think it's because it's my first SE shave in ages and I'm using the right length blade.
    Injector blades are slightly too short and AC ones are too long, so a pair of tin snips to the rescue.
    After using mostly travel brushes recently the 2000 felt a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut but a thoroughly enjoyable shave ensued
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Fri 11th May

    Omega 11126
    Cyril Salter solid soap
    Schick E2- Canada
    Schick Proline [ 7 ]
    Pitralon Polar A/S lotion

    Over the last few days I have been using Injectors that only take single blades. All have been fitted with Proline blades on their 7th outing. On Wed I used a PAL S/S Adjustable and had a very good Shave. Yesterday I used the PAL Injectomatic and though the Shave was comfortable enough I felt the finish was not that good, perhaps the blade had run its course.

    Today using the same brush/soap I used a Schick E2, which though quite aggressive delivered a trouble free and ultra close all round shave.Looks as though the longevity of the Proline blade may depend on the Razor it is fitted in.

    The shave of yesterday that I prepared so long, by testing different tools to strop the blades ....
    That's finally the shave of today:

    [​IMG]

    Verdict:
    If the closed comb is the most comfortable,
    comfort depends mainly on the quality of the strop of the blade.
