Another very good shave, but not as good as yesterday. It could be that the blade is a little more dull after using it once, or it could just be that I was extra lucky yesterday.

Since I have been away I have been using a 1937 Schick Injector, Schick Platinum blades, MenU Premier Brush, Mama Bear Celestial Water and Elements of Bamboo Soap and Nancy Boy A/S. The results have been consistently superior to anything I have managed thus far. This is another example of just how beneficial product fidelity can be.

First shave with the injector was impressive. Absolutely no neck irritation whereas I nearly always have some neck irritation with the de razor. Can't wait for this week's shaves and the new acquisitions!
