Injector & SE Party !!!

Bite your tongue!
I know it's simply a little crazy talk as you said......I believe you have just begun to start collecting...

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL SE & INJECTOR PARTY-ers.....This is page 500 of non-stop partying!!

Lets see your favorite stuff......

HERE's SOME OF MINE:

This is currently my favorite kit....hook, line and stinkers.....

I also treasure my C3 type, I2....and enjoy getting an all over tan with my Hussy....I-m is a keeper, aswell as my ER's 1924, & 1914....

But this right here is about perfect in every way and my idea of a Paradise Shave....

No explaination needed.... But for inquiring minds...
That brush is a vintage Stag Badger referb by Gary Carrington, bless you Gary....
And the ER 1909 has been; from stroke one; perfect in every way and has never hinted at disappointing me....
Soap is in the container under the razor...it's a combination of Williams & Arko...
The Turkish Rebul Lavanda Colonia and Thayer's Original WH are daily go to astringent splashes...
The Clubman AS's are my favorites, aswell as the Guerlain Habit Rouge EdT has been my signature cologne, since before dirt....

I don't post too much in this thread, but this was my first shave with this razor. It was great! I am very impressed, and I look forward to more great shaves with this beauty.

Excellent three pass shaving routine this morning. It feels wonderful to be back on my PAL Injecto-Matic! Just when I thought my Haslinger coconut shave soap couldn't get any better I go and make a shave stick out of it. Love! Dolphin smooth and refreshed. have a great day my friends.

 

Happy 500th page @birdlives - you really started something special.

Too hard to pick a favorite SE and injector. So many great classics - the Hussy, PAL Injecto Matic and Adjustables, C3 repeater, 1914 and 1924, Personna Floating Head, the D and F... You know them all. And, if I posted pics of one I'd surely change my mind about my favorite.

So, I'm posting pics of those most responsible for sending me down this rabbit hole. First is my Grandpa's curved top 1912. It sat in my dresser drawer for decades before I realized it could still be used. I found a forum and a blade and I was on the slippery slope. Here it is - truly my sentimental favorite:


But what got me scouring eBay was the beauty of the G series variations once I had discovered injectors. I had to have one of each, really, I had no choice. You know what I mean? I eventually rounded them up and here they are:


Happy shaving - Karl

 

Now that is one fine collection!

 

It is so cool that you have your Grandpa's razor. When my Grandpa passed, he had some old safety razors. This was before I was interested in them and nobody knows where they went. I still have hopes that a family member will stumble across them in some stuff they kept. It would be a shame if they were tossed.
Nice G collection!

 

Had my second shave with the Schick G and what a fine BBS shave it was. Even though I only had a couple of shaves with this compared to my E, I or L, I can say that this is a lot more milder than the E, but very slightly more aggressive than the I. As the I can be very forgiving when I'm in a hurry, I had a weeper or two after I was done with the G. Not the razor's fault, it's because I was hurrying up the shave today. So what can I say, the G is a very good razor and a close second to my I in Schick injectors............

 

The middle handle looks like the navy blue. You know there are one that have a Black too, right???? :evil:

 

How can I tell an E-2 from an E-3 thru 5?

Northern Michigan man suffering from
FROST BITE IN JULY



Razor- Eversharp Schick Injector G1
Blade- Chick (2)
Brush- Vintage Made Rite L1500 Pure Badger
Lather- Stirling Glacial Wintergreen
Post- OSMA alum block followed by
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Postshave Balm

3 pass shave routine and I'm squeaky clean, BBS and refreshed. After a hot humid day in the foundry an ice shave is the only way to relax. Just kidding on the frost bite headline but it sure was cold and refreshing.
Have a great evening everyone.

All Type E 2s have a Smooth Comb & Lugs on the Side of the Spring..Type E 3s Have a Ridged/Grooved Comb with Lugs on the Side of the Spring...The Type E 4 has a Ridged Comb & No Lugs on the Spring..

The Type E 5 is Very Rare..I Have One..They are Black Handled & Otherwise look the Same as a Type E4 but they are Much More Aggressive..The Type E 5 is as Aggressive as the Type E 1..

That's it in a Nutshell..
