Razor: Merkur 41C
Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (2/5) (2)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: Omega 81052 Banded Boar
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 9/10, DFS+
A bit rougher shave last night than previous one. My lather was not up to par and I probably was a bit heavy handed. I had a bit of skin tightness and sensitivity under my jawline. Still quite the close shave and very respectable.

| Comments | This afternoon I am off for a two-week trip to Arizona so this is my last shave with all my home equipment. This was the 4th consecutive shave with my Henson AL I3 ++ and Feather blade. At first, the shave felt rough. I then realized I had not tightened the razor head as much as possible. Once I made that change everything became good again. The shave was close and smooth. Today’s brush used to be my travel brush: a Muhle Silvertip Fibre, the earliest version of the brush. The brush loads soap easily. I have used this soap for 23 days. The scent is gone but the performance is still there. Have a wonderful day. |

Day 21 of all injector month.
Schick Adjustable on 2.5
4th shave Topco platinum chrome injector
Aveeno
7/10. Everything worked as advertised, but after three passes I expected less ATG stubble. Yet, no damage done and face is quite comfortable.
If you left me in an island with nothing but injectors, I could do quite well. However, I do miss my Techs, Shovel Head, and long combs!
