    I understand completely, I use Nivea Men Moisturizer Balm, and then when it has softened my skin, I splash on Brut for the aroma. As soon as I find some Old Spice original, I`ll be using that. Right now I`m nursing a bad cut from a cart on a non pivot handle, it bit me pretty bad. Just about healed up now. With regards.

    I'm curious to hear how you like it.
    Mine is a pass-around review razor. At the of the two weeks of trying it out I ended up convincing them to sell it to me.

    I may be going back and forth this week, but perhaps that is what shaving "rotation" is all about. I'm an "AccuWeather Shaver".

    Magnificent shave with the PAL Injecto-Matic this morning. Wonderful, rich, slick lather from the Palmolive shave cream, a truly fine shave product. Three easy passes for an effortless dolphin smooth finish. Have a great day friends. :)

    Schick NOS Platinum [1-Sweden ]
    Alum Rub/Rinse Off
    Lea Classic A/S Lotion

    After a few days with DE razors made a return to Injectors. An excellent choice of razor today, as loaded with an NOS
    blade it provided a really smooth and close all round shave. Whilst not being the "Dog`s Danglies" blade from Holland, I am pleased to have acquired some of these Swedish ones as they pretty good. I also enjoyed using this razor which is very easy to use, especially when fitted with this blade.

    Lovely looking handle. Am almost tempted to venture away from my Synthetics and modestly priced boars just for the handle alone.

    Another exceptionally smooth shave this morning. Once dialed in, the MW soap is extremely slick with light cooling from the menthol. Going with a traditional 3 pass shave followed by minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. That on spot on the ride side of my neck eludes me most work mornings. The Timeless OC is a very smooth and efficient razor. I finished up the shave with a splash of Fine Platinum. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Tabacstag!
    The Bronze Shadow quickly made the usual optimal lather from Tabac this morning over a thin coating of Myrsol Emulsion. I used that to cushion two passes with the Futur on six. The result is a drama free BBS. I finished up with Tabac aftershave.

    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: PAL Adjustable
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: TSD Barber Shoppe
    Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD Iced Barber Shoppe, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Much better shave today than yesterday with the PAL Adjustable. I put in a new blade and that helped tremendously. This is almost the same setup as yesterday but I used the badger brush in lieu of a boar. The scent of Barber Shoppe is really growing on me. The Iced after shave provided some really nice cooling as well.

    Good shave overall. Hope you all have a great day!
