Injector & SE Party !!!

Schick Razor Blade Refill Injector 10P New Japan


Anyone have experience with these blades in comparison to other current injector blades? Really interested to know how they shave!

 

I have never used them but I know Folks that have & they all inform me that they are Darn Fine Blades..Prices can vary & they can be expensive though & they Do Twins as well ..

Billy..

 

Damn, I nearly opened my pack this week. But went with the Chinese blades instead...

 

When you try them let us know how they are compared to the Chinese blades if you don't mind

I just had the most Wonderful Shave of my Life with My Gem G Bar Junior with an Original Cru Steel Stropping Blade Today..These Blades are just so Darn Comfortable & Smooth as Icing on a Cake..A Current Gem Blade Just isn't Fit to Lick their Boots..The G bar Junior is a Mild razor but with these Original Stropping Blades it about as Twice as Loud as a Current Gem Blade & a Darn Site more Comfortable..

The G Bar Junior with a Freshly Stropped Cru Steel Blade is more forgiving than a Modern Cardridge Razor..You can literally paint your face with this thing without any Burn or Irritation..The G Bar Junior shaves very well with a Current Gem Blade with a Full Gem Spine as Shim but it aint as Half as Smooth..This works well..But if you want the Best from your G Bar Junior then the Original Cru Blade is the Way to Go with the Traditional Stropping Methods..Around 40 Laps a Side after you shave & you are good to Go..I am using a Stropping Handle here but you can also get a hold of an Ever Ready or Gem 1912 Auto Strop that will Do the same Job..

The Post Shave Feeling with these Cru Steel Blades is Like Velvet..It feels Akin to the feeling after shaving with a Hollow Ground or Wedge Blade..You just cant get this Sorta Feeling with a Current Gem Blade in these Older Stropping Blade SE Razors..If you want the Best from your Older SEs this is the Way to Go..You will Reap the Rewards..I was laughing today when I was shaving with the G Bar Junior because this thing is over a 100 years Old & its more forgiving & Smoother than a Top Dollar Modern Cartridge System..

Oh..Yeah..A Darn Site more comfortable & Easier to use than that New-Fangled OneBlade..

Well I am no longer a se virgin. Just finished up my first shave. I won a type e ( Billy may have to confirm). John Beeman stepped in and sent me some chicks to get going (thanks again John)! I started out with my typical routine. Lathered up and went to work.
First off, I was surprised that the razor was quite aggressive. Not that this is a bad thing. I set my slim at 7 and my red tip is one of my favorites. I have a tough beard and as soon as I began, I knew whiskers were falling. After the second xtg pass, I new I had a winner. Man this thing compared to my Gillettes is like comparing a sports car to a pick up. This razor is effortless and follows the contours of my face like no other of my current razors. Yeah, I'm geeked, can you tell

 

Awesome! That is one gorgeous razor!!!

 

You may never use your DE's again. Mine are pretty lonely now.

 

I was wondering if there's a significant number who do prefer the se. This experience really opened MY eyes.

Once I tried my ER1912 I was sold on them. Then I tried my E2. I have only used a DE twice in the last 4 months. There is no going back for me. Injectors and SE's for me.

 

I love my Gillettes, but I could easily see myself replacing all of my modern de's

 

I have only used a DE about 5 times in the last 35 years..

Billy..

 

Yeah that's a Canadian Type E 4..Not a lot of them about..Nice One an All..

Billy..

 

5 whole times! Oh you pour misguided youth....Don't you know Injectors and SE's are the way to go!

 

Thanks for the ID! Do all of this style shave the same? This gadget out performs any of my de's.

 

I know..

Billy..

 

The Type E 4 shaves the same as the Type E 3 ..The only difference is that the Type E 4 has No Lugs on the Spring..The Type E 3 & E 4 were the Mildest of the Type E Family..The Early Type E 2 that Opens is regarded by many as the Most Aggressive & Smoothest..
