Razor: Penn Adjustable
Blade: Schick Proline Injector (1)
Brush: Vintage Burma Shave Boar
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Vintage Williams Aqua Velva
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 938

Great shave with the Penn Adjustable today. I took a Original blade and ground off a few millimetres of the edge so it could be used to hold the Injector blade. Need to watch that it doesn't twist as it is just a pin that holds it. I had no issues with the 1st shave but will be mindful of it's precarious perch. Typical nice smooth injector shave with plenty of blade feel using it wide open. Great Williams lather and ready for the day. Have a good one Everyone !

That's great. Will take a look at that approach. It works fine for me on the Enders Speed of course but is locked in pretty good there. I might want to do a few beard sessions on this one before taking it to my head.

I think the Injector being on top allows the still original blade to secure it enough. The fact that the original has the ears on it prevents it from twisting. As long as the Injector is wedged in good enough it's good to go. Hope you have good results too Jeff !

It's one of only maybe three razors in my collection I've never used so it will be done.

I like the approach. Your adjustment knob is different mechanism then mine. Mine has a lever at the neck of the handle that slides forward and back. I wonder if yours has a higher degree of adjustment. I dont have a proline but i have a personna injector, would that work as well?

I'd say any injector would/could but never know till you try. Interesting about the lever, You have me curious now. Would love to see how it works?
