I really like the feel of this razor, which is easy to move around all areas to be shaved. However, though the shave is smooth it takes a lot of work to get a really close shave . The Mildness of the razor is improved by the blade , but for me does not match the PAL injecto -matic.

Thanks. It was taken near the top of a mountain local to me in Northern Ireland.

I stand corrected, but still relatively new to injectors and descriptions in Reference sheet led me astray.

Williams AV Ice Blue A/S lotion

My 3rd use of this razor with a different blade each time. Actually felt better today than when used with a twin. The shave went very well being smooth and comfortable , with a very good finish. After the J 3 it may well be the best of my modern
Schicks utilising a single blade , will try out an L type which so far with a " Chick " has not really been a great success.

I just apply a thin layer to my face prior to lathering.

Similar to Mrchick, I apply a small amount over my wet face and let it settle while I load my brush and/or bowl. It can be used post-shave, but I find it a bit chalky. Some re-apply between passes; I think that's a bit unnecessary and wasteful.
