La Toja Cream today. 10 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN High Mountain White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Schick Plus Platinum still in the vintage Gillette 40’s Style Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pino Silvestre Oud Absolute EdT.

First shave with this relatively recent acquisition, the Schick Injector Type I2 Hydro-Magic on this penultimate day of Decadent December. Although I have a half century’s experience with the Schick Krona, injector razors are a rather new experience, but I do understand why folks like these razors. Sometimes, a first jaunt with a new razor can be problematic, but not in this case. The shave was very pleasant with virtually no blade feel. In fact, I initially thought the razor wasn’t cutting, but a quick check affirmed a nice close first pass. Two passes later was all she wrote delivering a very close near BBS. I didn’t modify anything else from yesterday’s shave. I feel clean, refreshed, and smell of lavender (SWMBO is traveling on business). 

RAZOR: Schick Injector Type I2 Hydro-Magic
BLADE: Personna Vintage Injectors
PREP: Cold Water rinse and face scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap 
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger 
CREAM: Gillette Pure 
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Fine Lavender Pour Homme

The Tiger was surprisingly smooth and efficient, especially for such an inexpensive blade, giving me an easy BBS shave.  It's only one shave, but I'm impressed.
