Eversharp Injector CVS Blade VDH Deluxe Boar Brush Proraso Cream WH Ice Blue AV (from a glass bottle)
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.

WOW! This Injector just about runs across your face. I had to slow myself down. 3 pass shave and BBS.

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.

GEM 1912 Pella (2) Omega 49 Boar Proraso Cream WH Clubman AS
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.
