Injector
Sorrentino Tuxedo
CBL Vegan Damascus
LT VC / Chatillon Lux La Forêt de Liguest
This was my first time using an injector and my oh my, what a wonderful shave. The only negative was that when I first started, I am not sure if it was the fact that I did not do my normal routine this morning or that my face is a little sun burnt, but I felt every whisker that was being cut to start with. It feels natural in your hands and the angle is intuitive. My first shave with it and I did 3 passes and ended up with a BBSG. I do not even know what kind of blades these are, may have to look at the packs closer to see. I was more concerned at the time to make sure I knew how to load it right. Once I saw how to do it, it couldn't have been more simple. I cannot wait to see how long the blades last. I now feel and smell amazing.
A la Mancha, Mr Murphy has not been very present in my shave den recently, but he found me yesterday at the volleyball court. I went to dig for a serve and found out that there is only about 4 inches of sand on the court with concrete underneath. I have a nice raspberry on my left knee now because of it. No big deal, have had worse, just caught me off guard. I got the ball though. And really, isn't that what is important?
Have a great day everyone.

'JECTAH - Eversharp (2)
Shavemac Finest
Cella
LT VC / Clubman
I checked out the blade packaging yesterday, they are Eversharp blades. I just could not do it. I cannot use the same brush every other day. I was planning on staying in the boar realm and use my Stirling boar, but alas, I forgot to soak it before I got in the shower. Instead, I went with a German badger. And do you know what? The Cella liked it. It made a great lather faster than the Omega does. And it went on like rubbing a pillow on my face. So take me to shavers jail if you want, but it was worth it. The shave itself was great. This thing is so effortless, and does such a great job that if I was only concerned about the results, I could use it every time. However, I like a variety, I will continue to use others as well, but it may have taken over from the Tech as the king of the quick shave. I will have to wait to figure out longevity of these blades to see if it will unseat the Shovelhead as the king of the den as well. An easy BBS was today's results.
A la Mancha, got another busy weekend this weekend. Should be non stopped. My parents' anniversary is today, I think. Too many things in a 5 day period. My parents' anniversary, my dad's birthday, and my wife's birthday. I know Tammy's is the 18th, and the other 2 dates are the 13th and 16th, but I can never remember which is which.
