    Default Bakelite injector question

    Hey - I was thinking of trying the bakelite injector razor. I've heard it's more aggressive than other injector razors. I'm hoping that might work to my advantage, requiring less passes to get a good shave.

    But I was wondering how aggressive is it? Do you find it too aggressive to shave with, or fine if you have light pressure?

    I enjoy my bakelite injector, I don't believe it is too aggressive. I can get a DFS in two passes, BBS with some touchup. I use a little more pressure than with a DE, but don't get any more irritation than I would with the DE.

    Pick one up, they can be found for not too much $$, if you don't like it, sell/trade it on the BST.

    I would say my bakelite injector, type D is almost like my 56 red tip, but a little more milder, but that's just my opinion

    A bekelite injector is more aggresive than other injectors, but I find it as mild as a tech.
