PM me and I'll send you a couple of these blades to try so you aren't stuck with a full pack

Wow, thank you very much. PM inbound.

My brother’s judgement:

I definitely got a close shave, but it felt like I shaved.  Needed to use a balm, not an autopilot razor but was easy to find the shave angle.  Let’s see how long the BBS lasts and how my skin feels over the next 24 hours.

My Razor showed up this afternoon so I'll give it a whirl good morning.
   I had time to shave with the Schick E which was pretty close but it was a race to get the whiskers off good or some irritation. I had one of the yellow pack blades in.

   Shaved yesterday with the adjustable M Schick mostly wide open with a Twin blade. I haven't used a yellow shake blade in this razor yet.
That shave was much more enjoyable with the Adjustable M over the E Schick's.
  
 Today was back to a DE the Yates H plate with a gold pack Perma-Sharp blade. Today's shave was closer, more comfortable and longer lasting.

Ok, first shave Asylum Injector with a Schick Pro-Line B-20 blade and I definitely need more shaves to get a better idea of what this thing can do. Had two days growth and would normally use a 1.65 WR2 which may be why I’m not the best guy to receive this razor, haha.

I’ve never used an injector before but have used quite a few AC and Gem razors.

My early opinion is that it’s extremely smooth but lacks the efficiency I prefer. Smoother than the Vector but less efficient. It’s a very cruise control type razor and it never felt like I was going to cut myself even though it did take more passes and touch ups than I’d prefer.

I don’t regret purchasing it and do look forward to more shaves and also trying the Yellow “chicks” as well as the Personnas in this thing.

This morning was the best shave to date, not perfect, but a really fine DFS.  I'm finding that this razor likes a gentle touch.  So light in fact that if I was holding a toddler's hand, they could easily slip away from my grip.  Another plus with the light grip is I'm not left with the slight skin irritation from my initial shaves.

First shave in with the Asylum injector Razor today. 
    I use the Schick yellow blades China made one. The first pass was pretty smooth and uneventful. It seemed like after the second pass I felt like my growth was about the same as a very efficient de would be. 
 The against the grain wasn't really my favorite feel and with that being said it left a little soreness in the spot I have to chase the whiskers away usually. 
  A couple of small weepers around the chin area which is fairly normal because of the area skin/hair that makes that area up. 
I sometimes think I have a Billy Goat Gruff chin skin least in one spot there's no way it's ever smooth and always tedious to shave. 
   Anyway against the grain wasn't so bad but it definitely digs and pulls some as it cuts 'em. 
Probably a decent DFS shave.
    I'm really impressed with the makeup of this razor though. The design is really slick to me the way the cap slides into the plate part. 
  I'll give it another go tomorrow.
