Wow, this Schick G8 Injector sings - it’s a wonderful one pass shave - mild as I hoped for this style of head design. Aces!

Tuesday shave
Prep: PAA Cube
Soap: Noble Otter Thé Noir et Vanille
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 in Best
Razor: Wilkinson Sword TTO, shave #4
Blade: Super-Max (attempt #3 and binned) followed by Shaico (#2)
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> NO Thé Noir et Vanille aftershave
CCS, but it took some work. Third try with the Super-Max blade in a third razor and, although I managed to get through a pass of my cheeks, I had to bin it. Because I couldn't get a "running start" under my nose, trying to shave my mustache with this blade was like using tweezers to pull out every individual hair. This thing tugs like crazy. I then swapped to the Shaico I had attempted (unsuccessfully) to use before and this time was able to at least get it to cut. Not exactly comfortably or close, but I did finish the shave with it. I'll try that one again tomorrow, too.

Haven't done one of these in awhile. No Shave November is over and I got a haircut today. But I wanted to keep my beard. I shaved my neck just below my beard line.
Prep: hot shower.
Brush: vintage Ever Ready. Was NOS until I used it recently for a test lather.
Razor: Gillette Aluminum Tech. Made in England.
Blade: Personna Lab.
Cream: Gada Cool Mint.
Post: cold water rinse, witch hazel, Myrsol Emulsion.
One pass was all I needed to look presentable. The shave was kind of rough right above my Adam's Apple. But the Myrsol Emulsion is doing its job at healing.

Nice soap. Good slick lather. The scent was more than mild and while it was supposed to be citrusy, all I can smell is musk and sandalwood....hahaha
Shave with razor paired with the blade was a revelation! Now, this is the real deal Personna blade for me....super smooth super comfortable!!! Compare to yesterday's personna comfort coated lab blue blade, definitely can feel the difference. Really enjoyable 3pass for a mostly BBS/DFD result without issues.Great post & aftershaves.
