    Came across this on a new store on AliExpress. The only injector I found on the whole site. No name other than ?Beard Trimmer Manual Shaver? Specifications say it's stainless steel. Weight is 350g. Includes a box, leather-like case and 12 blade injector.

    $175.85 USD which is allegedly a 31% discount off of $254.85

    This one doesn't have removable/changeable guards like the Supply razor does.

    350g? That’s over 12 ounces.

    How does one load it? The blade is not even close to the corner tabs, Supply is around 100 g, this one is smaller and three times as heavy.

    Heavy on weight and price. Wonder how it shaves.

    Looks like the guard either pulls forward or is removable. At $175 it is a pass for me.

    Jody, please load us up on some more neoprene handles! I know I have an orange one tucked away somewhere, but I can't be bothered to look for it. I need a neoprene handle to pair with my gift of Feather Portables from Dale!

    Many years ago, you got some of us hooked on a cheap Chinese razor that was junk, except for the neoprene coated handle. Perhaps you don't remember, health wise... Anyway, I posted about the handle in this thread as a joke that you might be getting us hooked on another product.

    But, if a joke has to be explained, then it is not funny. I apologize Sir.

    I seem to recall a handle that had a red rubber or silicone type sleeve on it? Maybe it was neoprene? When going through my stuff, I actually threw one of those in the garbage about a month ago. Nothing to apologize for my friend! Sometimes I can't remember anything from a couple of hours ago. CRS syndrome. LMAO!

    Just had another look at this on AliExpress. They've dropped the price to $123.59 which has finally netted them one purchase. lol

    Supply in stainless, from whom they stole the design (or perhaps it's an homage lol) is only $145, not much of a savings when you consider the additional utility of hand loading on the Supply (looks like this one is inject only). Still if this one were more efficient than the Supply, which I didn't care for, $123 forf a stainless razor ain't too shabby.

    This one being inject only is the selling point for me and the reason I would consider purchasing it at the current new price. But not from a just created store on the other side of the world who seems to be the only place in the whole wide world to get this particular razor. lol

    For that price, I'll stick to my vintage Schicks.

    Ditto. 400g weight is silly when working with a perfectly rigid blade and well designed head.
