We make it to RI OK. My injector blade turned out to be a dud, so I need to find some injector blades or grow a beard this week.
I tried Rite Aid and Walgreens, and neither store has injector blades. I will check around, but it looks like I may be taking a no shave vacation unless I can aquire a suitable "new razor" from an antique store or yard sale situation.

Did you try stropping it on your belt? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

It has been years since I have skipped a shave, but a man's has to do what a man's gotta do.

Hope you're enjoying yourself this week.

Second use of the Enders Speed Shaver. This time used an injector blade. What a difference... Great close and very comfy shave. Now I know what this razor is capable of. It's a keeper

Well, I have not been able to find any injector blades, but I did find an unmentionable at a Dollar Tree. I had a great shave with it. I guess I will be shaving with it unless I can find a place that sells injectors.

How about Personna mini hair shaper blades from the beauty supply store?

I guess I will be shaving with it unless I can find a place that sells injectors. Also you can cut one of those unmentionables in half and trim it a little and use it in the Injector.

August 8th It was a daily double, but the only razor that need be mentioned here is the Gem Jr. Bar. It was sporting an extraordinary handle made by none other than our own jayaruh. Jim's handles are not only stellar looking, but they are also amazingly comfortable and make the razor downright nimble. I had an outstanding shave with the following: Gem Jr Bar sporting a beautiful wooden handle and a GEM SS PTFE (9) | Yaqi 26mm Brown (faux horse) knot in a rainbow handle | Tabac provided an outstanding lather | Krampert's Finest Frostbite finished off the shave perfectly. Here is a photo with some of today's "players"...

Playing around with Photoshop. Some of us play a just one August challenge, these are my tools for the month. It also allows getting more creative with the SOTDs, if your models are the same for a longer period.
