2nd shave with the PAL injector.
cold shave
Semogue 830
Maca root cream, face lathered
Personna blade
ARKO ASB
No better or worse the yesterdays, whilst not a bad shave, much more effort, passes, touching up required with the PAL. Tried a variety of different angles... I'll have to keep it though - its gorgeous!
I'll use it until the blade is dead and go back to DE, until it shouts at me for another go!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
1964 rebranded Macys silvertip
Schick F type/Gillette Platinum Plus(NOS)
Coates Rose SC (old stock)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
no EdT for some unknown reason
This injector was a wonderful find in the wild. Not because it's real expensive because it isn't. No, it's the shave that I was introduced to which was the treasure that keeps on giving. Silly looking thing but man, do it shave me good!!
This Coates in pleasant stuff. Used it 5 times and the shaves were enjoyable. Good to have a rose cream in the arsenal (thanks Carl, you got me there). Sheesh.
BBS results,
Martin

Quick 5 minute shave. One full pass and a quick tidy pass. I enjoy the change of pace of a cartridge razor, now and again.

Friday xii September, 2014
Prep: Hot shower, Zirh Alpha - Hydroxy Face Wash
Pre: Cold Water Splash
Soap: MWF in stick format
Brush: Thäter 4125/2
Razor: Timor 1350K Open Comb
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super #3
Post: Lucky Tiger Aspen, Rituals Samurai Secret ASB
Fragrance: Currently undecided. Attending a wedding later so decision is pending...
Result: Not the best this morning. Possibly the Perma-Sharp is only good for two shaves for me. I have also noticed that my Thäter is losing somewhere between six & ten hairs each shave. Not that this is necessarily a problem at the moment as it is very dense, but all the same I wouldn't expect a very high end brush like this to be shedding still.
All the best
Jon
