Pre-shave Soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Lord Platinum Class
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Cream: Body Shop (old formula)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Pashana American Bay Rum Splash
First use of a Lord Platinum Class blade, and it was a very nice shave. Further use will give me a better idea of the capability of this blade. I always enjoy using the old formula Body Shop cream and the Pashana Bay Rum was an excellent finish.

Razor - 1966 Gillette Slim Adjustable (set to 3)
Blade - Personna platinum
Brush - Altesse
Soap - TOBS lavender cream
Toner - Thayers alcohol-free witch hazel
A/S - St Charles Shave lavender balm
Consistently great results now that I've got the hang of the new angles with the SA. Personna blade is still great after three shaves. Although I got wonderful lather from the TOBS cream, I noticed the residual dried out pretty quickly on my face between passes. No matter, it did its job very well.

Definitely sharp enough, however this was a new blade. I'm curious to see how many shaves I can get on an injector blade. I also felt like I didn't need to be as careful about technique due to the rigidity of the blade. Sometimes I think DE blades can deflect, so you need to be more aware of your angles.rsp1202 wrote: So, Andy, what do you think of the injector and Chick blade? Sharp enough for you?
I've gone a little nuts and and now have 4 or 5 Vintage injectors to experiment with!

Unfortunately Andy, I 've gone down that road too. Good to hear that the Chick blade works. I bought four dozen and slapped one onto a "G" but keep forgetting to try it.I've gone a little nuts and and now have 4 or 5 Vintage injectors to experiment with!
