Asylum Injector razor
sChick injector razor blade (1)
Elite Razor Mother Earth 3-band badger brush
Barrister and Mann Diamond soap and aftershave splash
Antica Barberia Mondial Original Talc Colonia
Two passes. Fresh blade. This confirms my prevailing impression. While they are easily available, very sharp and highly effective, for me right now in this razor, the yellow pack sChicks aren’t quite as smooth as the Schick Prolines.
B&M Diamond is a favorite scent of mine. It really does remind me of an afternoon at the ballpark. Straight out of my childhood! I’m using the soap and splash somewhat infrequently, as Will hasn’t released it in a number of years now.
Two passes, a solid 9/10.
