Terrific lather from the cream/soap! Overdid it abit...nice scent, creamy, and very slick!
Today's shave with the razor paired with this blade was just acceptable. The blade is not as smooth/comfortable and less efficient in 3passes for a dfs/ccs result. Surprisingly, it did not cause any weepers or irritation. The aftershaves were awesome!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Went with @CBLSoap.com "Dread Pirate Roberts". Great lather and scent! Three passes for as close to a true BBS result as I've ever had and I finished with the matching After Shave Tonic and a spray of Paco Rabanne "1 Million". Excellent!!

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

An amazing underrated soap! Excellent lather qualities...rich creamy and very slick!
This shave with the razor paired with this vintage blade was another surprise. Not smooth...a little jumpy but the efficiency was good. Managed 3passes for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs finish with 3 micro red spots. The aftershaves mix was awesome and cooling!

SOTD_2022-03-23_PAL-Adjustable_4-3.jpg

My injector razor collection has grown steadily and I have acquired most of the more common ones. The PAL Adjustable was one that I had been looking for and finally found. I also have Schick, Parker, and Supply adjustables and this ranks up there with my favorite, the Schick M1. I like the long handle of the PAL perhaps a bit more but I'll still give the shave quality to the Schick but there isn't much separating them.

I mixed Barbershop fragrance oil into some DentonMajik unscented Game Changer base and was able to whip up a very nice, well-hydrated lather that went on silky smooth. The Supply Black Label blades are the best in the business and I've taken to using them in just about every injector razor I own.

I ended up with a BBS result. 9.5/10. It took a little extra pickup work to get it done. I guess this is a fairly mild injector. Happy shaves all!
 
I needed it, so I over did it, which means I did it right.
