Razor : PAL Adjustable Injector
Blade : PAL stainless steel (1)
Soap : Arko shave stick
Brush : Jayaruh #368 boar brush
Post shave : Alum + Pinaud Clubman Lime Sec Cologne
The Razor
I acquired this NOS PAL adjustable injector razor sometime last year, today was its maiden shave ever having waited some 60 years in its packaging for use in another country on the other side of the world.
The Blade
I decided to go with the bundled PAL stainless steel blades. After a customary dip in isopropyl alcohol for a minute or two, I proceeded to inject the blade in to the razor. The factory red dummy blade place holder took some brute force to push out with a good new blade. It had some rust like formation on its right hand side which had lodged the dummy blade tight in the razor.
I am so thankful for how thoughtful the makers of the blade dispensers were to provide those bent notches on the blade dispenser to be able to hold and push out a blade in to the injector.

Arko Shave Stick
I have been reading so many threads about Arko and having used it sparingly, it was time to use it as a regular rotation soap. I have an Arko stick pushed down a Williams Bicentennial pewter mug. The strong scent has faded leaving behind a pleasant mild lemony scent. It made plentiful lather with a Jayaruh # 368, again on its first use. It produced wonderful creamy super slick lather. I wish I had unpacked all the excellent SE stuff and the Jayaruh brushes before I had to move.
The Shave
The Shave was 10/10 uber smooth with the Pal Injector on setting 3. It was so smooth, I would have double checked to see if it had a blade loaded, if not for the initial effort invested to push a blade in. An effortless two pass BBS shave, with mild feedback from the alum block on the neck.
Splashed on some Pinaud Clubman Lime Sec cologne on a really hot summer morning to compliment the excellent Arko shave.
