First shave with an injector since 1984. It was just as I remembered it. The razor feels and treats your face like a very mild DE, but shaves much closer. Real easy to manuver around the tight spaces. I did notice the CVS blades aren't quite as smooth as the ones the big names used to produce, but still a great shave. Will have to try some Pellas.

Hey Ivan, do you really like the Rolls Razor? Seems like you are on a Rolls Razor kick lately. Been using it about everyday. Good for you. Wish I could get a really great shave with mine. Maybe just have to do like you do and use it a few days in a row to learn its technique for great shaves.

Great shave with the 1912. Took my time with a 3 pass. The injector I 've been using the last couple of days is quick and safe, but the GEM shaves closer.

Thursday Night:

Schick Injector Type I
Schick Super Chromium blade (NOS US production)

Semogue 740 brush (pure badger)
Art of Shaving, Unscented, shaving soap

Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel

First time with this razor. I really like the shorter handle, but the Injector still doesn't come naturally to me (in spite of the fact that I learned to shave with one over 40 years ago). Good shave, though.
