Asylum Injector Razor

I've had a couple of shaves with the Asylum Injector this week. As I said before, the AC razors that I've tried, I never could get to work. I'm hoping if I give this one some time, I can make it work for me. 

The two shaves that I've had were just "ok", close to BBS in some areas, but mostly DFS, but with some significant weepers here and there, and some irritation. I haven't been able to get the angle quite right. Sometimes, all I feel is the blade about to cut into the skin, other times it seems super smooth. I assume that everyone rides pretty close to the cap with this one, but I would like some confirmation of that from the experts here.

It has taken me a while to get my technique down for the DE razors that I use, so I'm guessing it may take me a while with this one. I've been using the Schick B-20s that I ordered with the razor, so maybe a different blade could change things somewhat. 

That's where I am so far, not quite the results most are getting, but I am hopeful that I can improve with some time.

You know my experience seems close to yours and I don't know why.
    Seemed a little bit tugging to me and leaving a lot of hair behind. 
I kind of get the same thing with Vector with AC blades but after the first pass it's good with great finish.
    I've monkeyed with the angle and watched Dave's angle in his video.
 I'm trying to use a little bit of a shallower angle than most of my DE's
 I don't really have the same situation with the Schick E or adjustable M.
 I'm using Schick Yellow blades.
If you want PM me and we can swap a couple of blades so you can try the Yellows and I can try the B-20's.

Thanks keto , I really appreciate the offer. I've got some Yellow blades coming from another member, but I'll gladly send you some B-20's to try. 

I do think that part of my problem is just that I don't have the technique down for this type of razor. Blades can make a big difference, though, so it never hurts to try something different.

 I'm with you on that , let's see. Pm returned, appreciate it too.

Please update to post #102 above to deceptive Amazon Injector blades I recommended. They send 1 package for $20 NOT 4 as shown and play on wording in description

Ole Amazon add apparently stinks on that one Dave, huge difference.

Yep Keith, hate that I directed anyone to it. Just got mine. Tried to return and it states they don't accept returns. They know what they're doing. Took it to Customer Service and started a refund. Just hope it goes thru......

Amazon has been pretty good with me to return things and whatnot but let's see. They should refund you and stop that crazy ad. 
  Hopefully you got anybody else shut down from ordering, from here.

Never had a seller that didn't accept returns before so I don't know how the process goes when you go to customer service. The online assistant said that they put the return in but don't expect anything for 4 to 5 days. I'm in no hurry as long as it goes through and yes I hope no one else goes to that blatant money grab....

Dang, Dave! They're only $6.29 at my Local Long's Drugs (CVS). Buyer beware!

Asking for a friend but if anyone here decides they don't like their Asylum injector pm me if they want to sell it.
