Wonder what kind of plastic that was, and whether heat, moisture, age or all three made it shrivel up. Almost looks like it was a very hard rubber.
I am not sure exactly what that handle was made of. I had a Schick with a faux bone handle that I got off eBay. When I got it, I started to clean it, and the handle just crumbled in my hand. This one was similar in the way it just crumbled.
My butterscotch E2 is holding up with no sign of wear or damage. I assume it's bakelite, I can polish it until it fairly gleams.
Just keep alcohol away from bakelite; really bad for finish. Remember that when you have that brush or razor around AS.
That is incredibly nice looking! I think it looks rich- better than the original design. Excellent work.
Hi all, good evening. Today the Schick Injector arrived safely at my home. It looks fantastic. Jim, you do awesome work. I was unable to shave with it at the time I first looked at it, but just about fifteen minutes ago I did. I must say, it was a very good shave. I never had much good luck with my old E-Type Schick, but this one is an excellent shaver. I think the collective consensus was that this razor is a G-Type. Whatever the differences are I don't know, but this G-Type is great! And the new custom handle on it looks, and feels wonderful too. I can't thank you enough, Jim. And the gold color really stands out from the cleaning and polish as well. Thanks for restoring this old Injector Jim. Here is a photo of it in my SOTD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I am glad to have restored that old razor. I am tickled that it shaves as well as you say. Yes, generally, the Gs are great shavers.
