Filomatic F2 Inyector

Here is an older picture I took awhile back comparing the F2 to the Gillette twinjector. You can see they are for the most part identical. Filomatic brand was also bought up by Gillette and most likely before the F2 came to market. That would make this not a knockoff but a foreign market version of the twinjector.

Another one I used earlier in the week.
ShaveZee w/Gem ptfe stainless steel blade.
If you despine the blades first the shave is a little more aggressive but overall the shave is about halfway between mild and wild leaning torwards the mild side.

Yet another razor I used earlier in the week.
Clauss SE.

This is an interesting razor in that it is the first that I am aware of that used a TTO handle design that flips open the cap. The patent date on the razor is 1906. Razor takes a despined Gem blade. This razor is an absolute beast with a despined Gem blade, not for the faint of shaving hearts.

I'll probably get to both this month too. 1st basically the same as the ShaveZee I'm told. I would think despining a Gem would shorten it and therefore make it more mild......

......and a Clauss Automatic which I don't consider a TTO as it is a twist and spring loaded flip open versus actually Turning it To Open. A cool razor that gives great shaves.

I've said it elsewhere that particular Clog Pruf is one of the best razors period I've ever used.

Clark Improved King razor
Decided to give this one a try with a Personna injector blade. With a gem blade it is managable, with this injector blade the shave was a barn burner.  Next pass I'll have to be less heavy handed.
