  1. It doesn't look like it. I see what looks like the Omega 10083 (10048?), 10098, and what might be the 80005. Mary's website doesn't show the packaging, though, so I can't speak for what they might do there.

    The 923, I assume, is the cheapest Chinese Boar they could slap their name on. It's actually a sadder looking brush than most of the cheap Chinese ones on eBay. It's another one of those products where, given the quality, you wonder what they are thinking by actually selling it.
  2. It's not my razor. I got the picture off of eBay. I have one just like it. EBay post says it's a G3. Not sure about that. Can you identify it.
    I'm splitting wood today. I will check the Injector thread.
  3. Doug, It's not a G3. The G3 had a gold plated metal handle. When you get a chance take a look at this link http://www.safetyrazors.net/schick/schicktech.htm
  4. It's not a G3. Here is a picture of my G3 for reference. They have gold plated handles.

  5. Any excuse to show off ... :p
  6. Straight Mayhem
    This is my first Kamisori and it was sold to me as shave ready. Shock of shocks, it was. I just had to strop and go. I have a new favorite straight. Great two pass shave.

  8. LOL, Obviously !...
  9. That's what I've red, however, I had never seen one before. Thank you both very much. Here is a listing on eBay that I believe is in error.

    Seriously folks, MrC is right. :happy088:
    An awful bunch of mis-labeling regarding Schick injectors on eBay. Please start with the guide that so many have pointed out and, if you see patent numbers in the ad or photos, at least match them up first to get you close.

    http://www.safetyrazors.net/schick/schicktech.htm

    Unfortunately, even with that done there are subtle detail differences in some of these, especially the E and G series...and don't even get me started about the Canadian models! :angry032:

    If you are perplexed after first identifying with serial numbers, :signs002: take a close photo of the front and back of the razor and head over to the injector thread for help with those subtle differences. There's a friendly gang of experts over there that could write a book on injectors, SEs as well.

    Happy hunting!:bang:
