A wonderful shave, as always with this software. Not only does it smell great, but it makes the best lather I've ever experienced.

​
Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: Pal Injectomatic
Blade: Chinese Schick (#1)
Brush: Semogue 610
Soap: Tabac
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Pinaud Clubman

Picked up the Pal Injectomatic a few months back and only got around to trying it today, well worth the wait, managed to find the right angle during the first pass if not straight away. The handle looks like it might be a bit awkward with that foot at the end but for me it actually works really well. End result was fantastic shave, I am really impressed with this razor.
 
Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Barbaros TR-1
Blade – BIC Chrome Platinum
Brush - 'Papa Chub' (Chubby 3 Manchurian)
Soap – Phoenix and Beau – Unscented
Post - Cold water rinse, Witch Hazel, Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion

Well, another unpleasant shave with the TR-1... I think it's time to face the fact that I have 2 razors that I struggle to get consistently good shaves with... one I find too aggressive, and the other is just too mild for my whiskers.. I guess it's time to thin the herd... :(
