    I cannot remember who was looking for a Schick G1 a week or so ago. I have one for them if they are still looking. It is pristine still has the blank blade. There was a crack in the handle that I Epoxied.

    Let me know please. I think they were asking @wchnu for one.

    Yes I had my handle break on me yesterday evening. With a little bit of super glue and a hose clamp though I am recovering.

    Thank you of thinking of me guys. You will never know what that means to me.

    So after supergluing the G1 I decided to clean the my injectors. While I was polishing the G8 the spring moved. I thought the G Types had the spring stationary. The patent numbers are consistent with a type G Series. Here are some photos. View attachment 139209 20170627_182643~2.jpg

    Put a fork in it. Those springs were not meant to be moved. That's why there was a tab in the center - to keep it in place. Once it's been moved it loses the proper tension and won't hold a blade tight. I have managed a pretty close to "good as new" fix by basically torquing the spring into the head with a needle nose pliers but even doing that it's likely to still be less than ideal. :sick013:

    Looks like the tab bent. I am not sure its dead. Push it back and bend the tab back up. If that makes sense.

    Just as a heads up. After I finish a G1 pif across the street there will likely be a G8 PIF here......

    So your saying I have now lost two injectors? I really didn't want to hear that. But if that is what it is, that is what it is. Thanks Karl.

    I had a total of four injectors. Three G1 and a G8. My frist G1 I gave to my oldest son. I fixed number 2, I think. While trying to fix #3 the handle just crumbled apart. Then #4, the G8, may or may not be dead as well.
    I may have to give up on injectors with the luck I'm having.

    Bite your tongue!
    Don't even think of giving up on these wonderful shavers....
    Tom had one looking for a new home
    wchnu is piffing one across the street at TOST...and will probably be piffin one ovah heeyah next...

    Nah....just look around...the signs all say, this is a great time to be into Injector Shaving...

    I would try the G8 fix that wchnu offered.....Put the spring back and bend that tab back down...Then change blades...the injector key going in should be very tight...You know how they feel...If there is no looseness, and the blade is tight maybe you dodged the bullet...

    But don't leave it the way it is in that pic...The G8 should not open like an E2....

    Great looking brush and razor. The patina on your razor is great.
