Who says you can't use a VC1 with a missing Blade Stop ? LOL A good two pass shave. These machines were built to be resilient and long lasting.

I made it to my goal of 74 consecutive shaves with the same Personna 74 loaded in the Bunny V2.2 And a total of 86 consecutive shaves with the Bunny V2.2. The blade is still shaving reasonably well, so for now I will leave it in the razor and decide later weather or not to change it. But for now at least I'm going to give the Bunny a bit of a rest. If I didn't have several recent razor acquisitions waiting for there first shaves I'd just keep going.

Second shave on the Personna Injector blade and much better. I backed off the exposure a good bit.
Produced a really close shave. I think I will back off the exposure just a tad more and see what happens.

Rotation brought around the GEM Damaskeene for it's second use and what a SMOOTH shave.
Surprisingly efficient for the smoothness of the shave. One of my BEST GEM style razors.
