    I must disagree: I have just sold a pack of blades and bought a 250 GTO!

    Sunday PAL Shave, Aug 9th,2020
    Razor: PAL injecto-matic - Mfg 1952>? Great injector razor with a light touch gives a great shave. Million dollar razor?
    Blade: Personna injector- Very sharp and smooths out over time, great longevity & good cost per shave if it matters.
    Soap: Taylor of old Bond street Sandal wood- great scent and good lather qualities. One of my favorite scents in soaps.
    Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm synthetic with black marble handle- excellent lather generator, nice soft cloud feel tips.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a clear dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso red sandal wood with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + minor irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]Excellent shave with my PAL injecto-matic razor.

    Fantastic shaves over the last two weeks, used both my new bundubeard soaps. Had a few issues with the kudus kick at first, there was a coffee crust that prevented easy loading, but after scraping that off the performance was excellent.

    The rooi Afrikaner is my new favorite soap, its amazingly slick and performs very similar to arko but with better skincare. It uses a tallow base while the kudus kick uses a glycerine base.

    My review for the rooi Afrikaner is available, but i still need to write the kudus kick review which i will do after a few more uses.

    Finally retired the schick injector and switched it out for the fatip piccolo and it's now warm enough to switch back to normal aftershaves instead of balms, so ive been using arko ice mint for the last 3 shaves or so.

    Razor: Schick injector
    Blade: schick ultra platinum (13,14,15)

    Glenn, Despined Gem PTFE SS blade, shave 1
    [​IMG]

    I did the best to align the blade for the same exposure as the Feather blade. Unlike the first go around with a gem and the spine still on the blade this was not a brutal shave experience. The razor in this configuration gives very little hint of cutting unlike the with a Feather which tugs a bit. The angle also wants to be almost flat very shallow alllowance also before it stops cutting. End result mild but super deadly hair assassin. BBS finish was achieved.
