  • I am assuming this is actually the SOTD thread for Friday 31st, and that a Mod will be along to correct the headline…


    And just like that, January is over…

  • Late to the game (just had my father in law visit for three weeks, so…) but if you want my take;

    Injectors are fun. You can only get a couple of different blades (Schick, twin Schick, and Personna) for them, but the injectors I own (five, so far) definitely have earned their keep in my rotation.

    Compared to other razors, injectors are - in my experience - more consistent between models. A Type E shaves much like a Type G etc. Other razors - especially double edged razors, have a much greater variety both in the razors and the blades (and feathers are not the best of the bunch, in my not at all humble opinion).

    So if you want to experiment, branch out into double edged. Pick up a vintage Gillette Old or Tech, and go from there :)

    It is seventy-nine years since the end of the War in the European Theatre, and I had a wonderful Wednesday shave.

    Another week and another shave. The blade still keeps up, although I can tell it is not quite as smooth.
