The PAL Injecto-Matic - aka the Schick Buster - is among my top three SE razors for the closest shave you can get. This particular one barely lost out in an epic shave off with my Schick Hussy some years ago. But, today’s shave would have been at least a tie. Absolutely flawless. For anyone wondering, the Bunny razor may be the closest of all but I’ve never subjected it to a shave-off as it is not commercially available.

Happy shaving - Karl

Continuing with use of a Twin Blade, this time a fresh one on the I1. Those who like shorter handles will really like this Razor, if they try it out with a Twin Blade. Incredibly smooth and forgiving, yet with ease makes my daily stubble disappear leaving my skin squeaky clean and refreshed.

Best shave yet with this soap, it takes a lot of loading, unusual for a soft soap.
I still don't find it to be as good as offerings from other U.S. artisans, maybe with practice.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

nice shave Kevin..never tried this soap..very pricey..

 

Thanks Gary, I was gifted it and not to seem ungrateful there are better offerings to be had imo.

 

all good..the gift part will get you through it..one could add the missing ingredient as well..

 

The scent and artwork are excellent but slickness and post shave aren't great.
My favourite U.S soaps lack in the container and/or scents but performance and post is just right for me. They're WK and The Sudsey Soapery. I was going to mention MLSW but they've retired.
Then there are soaps which have very good scents and performance like Stirling, Noble Otter and Ariana & Evans.
But I'm glad I got the chance to try T&S.

 

very cool..i like barristers and ariana and evans.what's your take on the wickhams..never tried it ,i hear its good.

 

I forgot B&M.
Wickhams is very good as is OSP.

 

i will search them out.will osp ship to canada? i can get wickhams here..

 

Thinking about I may have read that OSP are to stop trading, hopefully I'm wrong.
Agent Shave stock the soaps, whether they ship to Canada idk.

 

will research ,thank you Kevin..
