This may have been done but we have a lot of newer people registered that have not been heard from. How much of your shaving is with a SE or Injector?
I would say that I use one over %90 of the time around here. I do use the DE and a straight (Dovo Shavette) now and again.

I use an SE or Injector about 2/3 of the time. I do really like my DEs, especially the older 3 piece open comb style.
When I travel I will usually take both an SE and a DE along. Just to keep the rotation going.

SE/Injector is around the 90-95% range. Straights get about 4-9%. DE, the rest. Not to say I don't like DE, but I really love SE I think it comes down to the blade, DE blades don't always cut it (pun intended :

For the past several months I've been using Rolls Razor and my only regret was not having discovered them sooner. It's the best thing since peanut butter. If I shave with straight Japanese or western you probably won't see it posted here.
I've been getting good shaves with my Rolls and am glad it's working out. I don't have to worry about having some self professed "honemeister" work on mine only to miserably FAIL and result in the edge tugging. I've met other honers who are far better and have provided tutelage. I applied what I learned from straights toward the Rolls and it worked.

Rolls blades need to be in pretty good shape, but once you find one they provide top quality shaves ;D

Ivan I might have to find a nice Rolls here soon. A lot of people seem to enjoy them. I've been meaning to work on this Rolls 2 for sometime now. Just been busy. Rolls blades need to be in pretty good shape, but once you find one they provide top quality shaves ;D I definitely lucked out with the first two Andy. This third one looks to be overhoned and I've to fix that. Luckily for me I've been getting good shaves with mine-shave #73 with each. I didn't use the provided hone but my Nortons instead.

I use an SE at least 90% of the time, if not more. Lately I've really been enjoying the injectors. I've found three places locally that still stock and sell the genuine Chinese made Schick blades and they are definitely better than the drugstore brands. I also got several Pesonna 74 injector blades that are just flat awesome.
I go weeks at a time without using a DE, but I will occasionally use a Trac II. The Trac II always does a great job.

Ivan,
Any tips on getting the Rolls blades good and sharp? I have two of them and one I want to send along to a certain "RABBIT" to try out. But I want to be sure the blade is good and sharp.

I need to start using mine more. I have only been using them about once every two weeks. I think I will make it a priority.
