Today was injector focus shave number 6 and I used a Parker Adjustable razor. I have been enjoying this exercise and getting some great shaves, until today that is. I've had a few decent shaves with it but today wasn't one of them. I had a few nicks and some irritation, both being very conspicuous compared to my other injector shaves this month.

This was my first shave with La Toja soap and any shave stick. I can happily report that it worked very well. The fragrance is a pleasant soapy smell. I rubbed it directly on my face and then used a damp brush to lather. As I've seen in videos but not experienced myself, the lather magically sprang forth from my cheeks with a minimum of effort. So much fun!

I had a three-pass shave that ended in a few nicks and some irritation. This is definitely my least favorite injector sad to say. I'm just being honest. I'm not giving up on it so I'll try again someday and hopefully, I can get a better shave then.

Thanks for reading and happy shaves!
