Tried the Vetyver sample today and no immediate stinging or tingling and an absolutely superb shave from the PAL injector- I wish more razor designers would work on a modern injector. The Asylum one is excellent but head heavy and too baroque in appearance for my taste and the Mingoose has been out of production for a decade or so.

first use of this razor and it’s been a week since last shave. I was nervous about this shave, took me back to when I first started traditional wet shaving. I took my time, light touch, first pass all I could feel was blade, but I managed it and then the second pass felt amazing. That’s all I needed, I’m really happy with how this turned out!

If you just ride the top cap throughout the whole shave, you’ll feel less blade by maintaining your angle correctly by riding the top cap only without slicing your bloody face off.
