-Gillette Twinjector w/ Vintage Pal Blade
-Vintage Surrey Tallow Shaving Soap
-Omega Boar Brush
-Dickinson's Witch Hazel scented w/ Rose Water
-Avon Wild Country AS
-Avon Wild Country Cologne
Decided to take my newly acquired Gillette Twinjector for it's maiden shave this morning. Got a great shave in my usual two passes. It doesn't feel excessively mild as some indicate.
The Surrey soap performed wonderfully, giving a very rich, and creamy lather!
I find it amusing that the blade I used predates the razor by about 20 years!!
If you have not run across one, the Gillette Twinjector is an interesting design. It's basically the plastic part of a Trac II handle with an Injector head attached instead. The head is all metal except for the safety bar which is a heavy black plastic.
I have no idea why Gillette designed it this way; it seems it would make more sense to make the head entirely from metal.
The razor also seems to weight less than a typical Injector.
