What's new

Injector at last!

Tried my first injector tonight and all I can say is HOLY ****!!!!!!!! What a sweet razor to use. Picked up some Shick blades this afternoon before coming home in anticipation of most likely drawing first blood. But after a lathering up of a sample of Mama Bear's Awakenings soap (which is awesome BTW :thumbup1:) I did a two pass run that left me as smooth and non-irritated as I've ever gotten from anything else. I just treated it like a 1912, light pressure and just enough angle to cut. I should be able to do a three pass with it and get a really DFS, but I usually stop at two on the first run of a new razor because I don't like to tempt fate. I was even able to go ATG on my lower neck which is highly unusual.

I can see a new "injection" of RAD flaring up in my near future!!!!!!!
 
Injectors are great! i was using one with Schick blades for quite a while...oh and don't get ted pella blades btw as they are inferior imo. Right now im trying out a new razor for a while(Muhle R41) but i think i will be returning to the injector...one thing that i have found strange is how many passes you can make over the same area without getting much irritation...although i do sometimes miss the sharpness of DE blades, while the schicks are great you can notice a large difference between them and say Gillette 7 o clocks or feathers in terms of how sharp they are, plus i don't seem to get as many shaves per blade as others seem to. These are small annoyances though and shouldn't sway anyone from trying one. I would say someone moving from cartridges would do very well with injectors, just as easy to use imo compared to DE.
