New blade in the 40’s EverSharp injector. L3 Shaving gel.
Gave myself a couple of tiny weepers pressing too hard after yesterday’s (dull blade) debacle, but no pain or rash. I don’t use a post shave routine except showering.
Since it is my self-declared injector month, I am toying with tomorrow being the Schick Adjustable, or an injector blade in a MMOC or Christy.

Razor : Yaqi Romulus 316 SSP SE 50mm with a Chippendale 316SSP handle. Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range depending on blade or gap shim used.

Blade : Kai Captain Titian mild(8) sharp and smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Razorock M.F., nice cologne masculine scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Barber pole" 24mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, Very nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Great overall brush + handle is great for large handles.
