Overview
Mixed results with the Proline blades.

Shave Quality
The shave using the J1 with the Chinese Schick blade was better than the Proline. The K1 was really rough. The L-Type was really, really great however. So, a few good shaves with a bad one in the middle.

Gear
I, J, L, M, and N are definitely my favorite Injectors.

More comparisons between Chick and Proline are needed.

Other Thoughts
Kingdom Hearts is still an amazingly good game.


Thank you for reading and commenting on my journal. I hope you have a great day and stellar shaves, Cadre.
 
I haven't had good results with the Proline blades. I gotta try them in another razor before I give up on them.

No Shave

Overview
No time for a shave today.

Other Thoughts
Things tend to go the way I expect them to go, not the way I want them to go.

Shave Quality
Got a really good BBS shave today. The lather continues to be good and the Proline blade worked well in the adjustable Injector. No complaints here.

Gear
Injectors are made of win most days.

Other Thoughts
Starting to write up my next RPG world. It is going to be the most detailed RPG thing I have ever done.

Ar, matey!

SOTD Pic
None

Shave Quality
Today was a really, really great shave, full BBS with almost no irritation. The Proline blade really goes well with the milder (i.e. more recent) Schick Injectors. I am looking forward to getting one into my Supply 2.0 Injector.

Gear
I still have to try a Proline blade in a E or G Injector, so I will reserve full judgement, but I think they have found a home in my milder Injectors.

Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day matey!

Overview
It is going to be more than 90.

SOTD Pic
None

Shave Quality
BBS but a bit rough today, but really, really good overall.

Gear
The Personna blade is a little rougher than the B20 in an L-Type. I think that the Proline is going to be a better blade for me, and cheaper to boot.

Other Thoughts
Hit 234.5 on the scale today. I am really happy.
